Always remember that it can always get worse. Always.

Definitely. I don’t know where the quote came from, but it always sits in the back of my head: “you’re always two steps away from losing all your stability.” No matter your lot in life, you’ve probably built a routine. That routine can always be destroyed by something in a flash.
Handle one fragile thing at a time, with your attention dedicated to it. No random thoughts and no multitasking or you might break something.
And think through what you are going to do before you start moving it.
If you work from home, make it a point to get up and get dressed for your shift. Dressing casual is fine. Consider putting on shoes or house shoes too. There's something about it that wakes you up and gets you in the right mind every day.
I have an interview in a few minutes and had just put on shoes when I read this!

If you're having a hard time opening a jar or bottle, wrap a rubber band around the lid, then use that to grip and twist it. I don't know why it works so well but it does.
I don't know why it works so well
Because the torque you can apply to the lid is usually limited by grip strength/friction, not arm strength/leverage.

One's sleeping position can influence their lifespan and sleep enjoyment. Sleep on your left side.
My heartbeat is very uncomfortable when sleeping on my left. Apparently it’s a common problem. Sleeping on my right solves this for me.

Be kind to yourself. Have respect for yourself. Sometimes we do to others what we have done to ourselves.

Sticking to the shower theme, if you're able and don't have really hard water, spray the walls of your shower before getting out. It'll get rid of the soap residue and keep it clean longer. Don't do this with hard water unless you feel like squeegeeing it off or you'll make it worse.

I wear button up shirts for work, and I only button and unbutton the second one down and pull the shirt on and off over my head (I never button the top button). By not buttoning and unbuttoning the other ones, it reduces the stress on the threads, and greatly reduces the chance that you will have a button pop off.
Take it easy for about half an hour or so after eating and then do some kind of physical activity. I learned that this has the best effect for lowering blood sugar in battling type 2 diabetes, but I think it's generally good advice for anyone? It doesn't have to be a heavy workout or anything. Even just getting up on your feet and walking around a bit makes a difference.
Ha, ha! I already knew this one!!
