Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of May! It's the first Sunday of May, a great time to set your goals for the month.

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • What would you like to focus on in May?
  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any goals for next week?
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Good luck with your goals! unity

    Mostly for me, its any simple sciatica exercises because I'm old and a bit broken and sitting in uncomfortable chairs slowly makes my back very very angry.

      Have you tried using a standing desk? I have been using one for years and it's a life changer. You don't even have to buy a real standing desk, I used to stack boxes on top of each other before I could afford to buy a real one.

        Never used one but my desk job doesn't require me to actually sit at a desk for all that long during any particular task, its just when I decide to read a book during the ... literal hours of downtime... that I start to slouch quokka-smile
