US Alcohol Consumption Falls to 85-Year Low –Driven by Desire for Better Health

Gowing good habits automatically diminish the bad. Diminishing the bad habits doesn’t automatically improve the good.

🦷🍭 While #sugar is often blamed for cavities, it's actually the lactic acid produced by #bacteria as they digest #carbohydrates that weakens enamel.

Human saliva typically neutralizes these #acids within 30 mins. but frequent snacking can keep mouth pH levels low enough to cause permanent damage. Experts recommend waiting at least 20 mins. after eating before brushing to allow enamel to re-harden.

I am not in the #habit for a #follow for a follow. If you follow me; I #expect that you are #interested in #reading the #book.

Charles Duhigg breaks down how habits work, why they’re so powerful, what you can do about them and what they do to you – which is why #ThePowerofHabit is so valuable. Our review: http://the-agency-review.com/habit @cduhigg #habit @randomhouse #marketing #advertising #business

On Investing Time Writing a Daily Blog Post daily

For years, spending time on social media was an investment that paid dividends. One of my UN jobs was connected directly with responding to a tweet about them looking for an archivist. Within a day I had an interview and within a few days I was working. That was back in 2014 or so, when social media was more convivial.

The issue with social media today is that we spend hours, and hours, and hours scrolling, looking for conversations and we sent hundreds, if not thousands of messages without a response. The consequences are double. The first is that we are visibly wasting our time. The entire world can see that we’re “wasting” time on social media. The irony is that when I lived in London, until a decade ago, social media was an investment. The more time you devoted to networking, the more connections, and potential collaborations you would create.

Today, if I spend half an hour on Twitter and comment, it won’t be seen, because my account is private due to the risk of trolls and being flamed. With Facebook and Threads, often the people that have time to comment, are not the people that you desire to connect with.

In theory Linkedin is the best solution, to network, to find opportunities, except for one critical design flaw. Everyone is brilliantly happy to promote their success, rather than genuine about needing help and solutions, out in the open. If you’re struggling, it’s a bad sign, and yet if everything is going you’re allowed to be visible. In effect it’s encouraging people to be isolated through failure, rather than joined through success.

Some people like to write a weekly newsletter. I prefer to write a daily blog post. I will often see that I have zero readers, for several posts in a row, which is both discouraging, and disheartening. If no one is reading, then why do I waste time writing?

The answer is in the question. The time that I spend writing is mindful, is creative, requires me to think. Plenty of my blog posts have zero value, which is why no one reads them. At the same time every blog post written is practice. Every minute spent writing makes it easier for me to write well, once I have a topic of interest to others.

And finally, in my eyes, “doom scrolling” or wasting my time and attention on social media rewards those that made it toxic, and a waste of time in the first place. If my eyeballs are scrolling, and seeing toxic posts, as they do on Facebook, and Threads, then my own interactions will reflect it.

By blogging I am being mindful, I am thinking, I am ordering ideas, I am sharing things that I am in the process of learning, and more. For me blogging is an investment. Social media was social, but now utilitarianism, by others has made it worthwhile to blog again.

The more you do something, the more of a habit it becomes and the better you get doing it. The more of a habit it becomes, the more addictive it becomes and the less you are willing to do something else.

Do something else.

A habit is something you wish you did regularly. It’s not something you do regularly. That’s called “part of your life”.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

There were all kinds of things of which I was afraid at first, from grizzly bears to “mean” horses and gunfighters, but by acting as if I was not afraid, I gradually ceased to be afraid.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Autobiography, ch. 2 “The Vigor of Life” (1913)

It is often more effective to replace a #BadHabit with a #healthy alternative rather than trying to eliminate it entirely. Your #body and #mind crave a specific satisfaction, and simply removing the #habit leaves a void that can lead to relapse. instead: identify what need the habit fulfills. whether it is sugar, stress relief, or social connection and find a positive activity that fills that same gap. This approach applies to everything from #addiction and #mentalhealth to physical #fitness

The Loop

My wife wanted a simple habit tracker but all the options on the AppStore seemed to require a monthly or yearly subscription 🤮 (#enshittificaton  at work). So naturally I did what any sane developer would do and built one myself. We have been using it with TestFlight for the past year but I have finally got around to releasing it. All data is stored locally, no tracking and no subscriptions.

It even has a cute bear logo that my wife designed.

I'm trying to figure out a new project to work on, and the only idea I had so far was an open source federated Habitica-like application, where the owner of the sever would dictate the rules, and the weight of tasks, create history-rich quests, the community could create the art for new monsters, items and such. For good social features, maybe some sort of integration with Mastodon and/or Lemmy, idk, it's just an idea I've been playing with.

Do you continue to track actions (workouts, water consumption, reading) even after they are habits? Why? Why aren’t you tracking habits you want to break instead? Do you even know what a habit is? If you track, it’s becoming a habit

#Habit #ActuallyAutistic #SensoryIssues #IYKYK

We have always made a #habit of #eatingout on a #Friday evening. Since our house move this has often at a #pub in the neighbouring village of #Hemsby #Norfolk

Those in the #uk will be aware that the #coast is moving rapidly inland there and with each new #storm more #clifftop #houses are lost to the #sea

I wonder what message the #landlord has in mind with a poster on the restaurant wall that reads:

Memories Made On The Beach Last A Lifetime

Good morning,
My first #weekend home after hospital was … interesting. My list of things I wanted to do, was left untouched. What a bummer. It was still a good weekend, though.
The #artwork is the result today's morning #sketch session, a nice #habit I picked up in hospital.

Books Read and the Tip of The Iceberg

Some people aim to read twenty books per year. Others aim for a book a week. I read 15 or so books last year which doesn't feel like much, compared to others. Having said that, I don't read like others. When I read I flit between books. I might start three or four books within a few days, and gently make progress for weeks or months at a time.

Since the books are often not finished I might read hundreds of pages but it doesn't appear in the reading stats. It appears in the pages read statistic. Many apps do not put that forward, until you dig a little deeper.

With the Audible app reading is measured in hours read and duration, rather than as a page number or percentage. When reading via Audible progress is an estimate. That's why Audiobookshelf is good. With this app I do get a percentage so I can update Goodreads.

Fifty Books and Sixteen Finished

According to Audiobookshelf I listened to 52 books, but finished 16. I am in the habit of picking up books, starting to read them, and finding that I am either not interested in the book, or that I am not in the mood for such a story. That's part of the reason for which I appreciate that Amazon via Kindlue Unlimited, Audible, Kobo and others allow us to access books that are included within a subscription.

With a subscription you can begin a book, and if you enjoy it, you keep reading, and if you don't you return it, especially with Kindle Unlimited. With Audible some books are included within the subscription for a few mmonths, so you need to finish a book, before it has to be paid for.

When I was struggling to read As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow I considered getting an audiobook version, but it was 17 CHF on the Apple Book app, and 20+ on Audible without the right subscription, but free with another. With this book I read 48 percent as a book, and then finished it as an audiobook at double speed.

Usually I listen to books at normal speed but this one was hard to read. After working at UNHCR as a video archivist and Media Asset Manager I found this book challenging to read. By reading it at two times speed, while walking, I was able to complete the book ahead of the group discussion.

I see value in such a book, but my work as a media assset manager means that I have an emotional catalyst that makes the book hard to read. Some would speak of triggers.

Reading Like I Watch TV Series

I like to think that I read like others watch TV series, including myself. By this I mean that I can read several books at once, and follow the plots in each. I don't get lost or confused. If I read three books from one series at once, then I would really get confused. I find that books are individual enough to read several at a time. That's why I read a lot, and finish few books.

And Finally

Audiobookshelf brought my attention to how many books I started reading, compared to how many I finished reading. I like that I start reading so many books, and it demonstrates why lending libraries and subscription models work well for readers like me. Some readers buy a book, read it, and then buy the next. I buy a library and I fly between them like a bee. I like to crosspollinate ideas from a variety of books at once.
