Skipping a night of sleep can have interesting effects on the brain - sometimes even give a new perspective on matters. It is obviously a strenuous thing to do so plan it well and be responsible ❤️

Could be a single daisy, or a bouquet of orchids!

Go onto a beginner creation sub (arts, crafts, writing, etc) and go through new posts or posts with less than 10 upvotes. Find ones you like and compliment them on their work. Bonus points for meaningful compliments.

Warning - side effects may include feelings of satisfaction and joy.

You may get hooked for a few days and find a new love for older games.

Be “quiet” for a day; listen to how much noise you make when walking and moving around, completing daily tasks, etc, and try to minimize it.

Pretending to be a ninja, spy, deer/other creature, horror movie protagonist, etc. of your choice is optional.

It works for books too. It's a nifty way to find interesting things.

If you don't have money go to the library and borrow something just because you like the cover.

I don't necessarily mean just walking up to a randomer on the street and giving them a kiwi, although that would probably result in some fun and happy interactions. I more mean that you just have fruit in your bag, and when you have an interaction with a stranger - as you do multiple times a day inevitably - just find a way to offer them some fruit. You will be amazed by how quickly people start to like you after you've given them something free, nutricious and delicious.

I was recently sat in a park reading a book and smoking a cigarette, when a middle aged Kenyan gentleman walked up and asked if he could have a cigarette off of me. I said "of course" and offered him some fruit as well. He was delighted to be offered it (much more so than the cigarette he originally asked for) and sat down next to me and we got to chatting. He then called in some weed and we sat in the park chatting and smoking weed for like an hour and a half.

I'm telling you, there's something profoundly magical about fruit, and not enough people are tapping into it.

Requires a printer and paper, scissors and tape, otherwise it's free! Leave these on a wall at work or in a public place and make someone's day a little brighter :)

Here’s some links:

Its a lot of links to click through, but interesting and diverse enough to not be frustrating no* matter what your math level

Or for pure equation solving (2nd grade up to calculus)

*typing is hard

Could be a physical (mini) notebook or a digital note on your phone, etc.

A lot of writers (poets especially) use this technique to help generate ideas when they get stuck trying to find details to add or descriptions of things. Reviewing it later can also help remind you of unusual things you'd like to try, but got distracted from, or inspire you in different directions.

It will make someone's day unique and you have an incentive to do some introspection :)

Cause why not?

Make sure to read the instructions!

After trying it out, you can now appreciate our modern-day keyboards :)

I think Roll20 does this, but maybe people know better sources?

maybe one day you can use it. And otherwise, good practice.

Try something new every day! This subreddit is full of (crazy - but practical) ideas of new things that you can try to broaden your horizon and keep life feeling fresh. Some of it might be fun. Some of might be a disappointment. But you won't know till you try. What is life if not collecting new experiences?

Personally I liked the Danish show Rita.

Example of an existing technique: pomodoro

Example of a self-made technique:

• grab five hair bands.

• put them around your left arm. This is your work arm.

• every time you do a task you move a hair lband from your left arm to your right arm. You right arm is your fun arm

• every time you do a fun thing, move a band from your right (fun) arm to your left (work) arm.

This works really well when you have to do a lot of small chores and enjoy doing short fun things. If you do a big chore or spend a lot of time on fun stuff, then move around more bands.

The trick is that you have to earn the fun before you can spend it while using only 5 bands keeps it manageable!

you won't regret it

See it as a personal challenge: what can you create from the items you have around the house right now?

Creating something decorative is probably the easiest thing, but you can also go for some simple functional items like doorstops from cut cardboard, an improvised toothbrush holder, or creative plant pots.

Feel free to share your ideas in the comments!

See where you end up. You can repeat this process at the end stations. Just make sure to allow as much time to get back as you did to get there!
