If you’re handy, the correct tool for the job. Nothing beats the exact thing that you need doing exactly what it’s designed to do.Buy the first one cheap, then if/when it breaks, splurge on the second.
It’s no secret that everyone wants to be the best version of themselves. Yet, people are flawed beings and since being the best version is similar to being basically perfect, it’s a thing very hard (or maybe even impossible) to achieve.Since we live in a world with these flawed beings, that makeslifeitself kind of imperfect too. By this, we mean that likely even in the most fulfilled person’s life there are someimperfections, some things they would like to make at least a tad better.So, it’s natural for everyone to look for ways to improve themselves or their lives, even if that thing is relativelysmall.

10 acres. We used to live in a fancy pants neighborhood with an HOA. Now we’re in a 5th wheel camper til we can get a small house built. Clearing and mowing, fixing things are great exercise. No neighbors too close so we enjoy a lot more privacy. We’re starting to grow our own produce and in the spring we’ll add chickens so there will be eggs, means we’re just slightly more self sufficient. And 1000% happier.
I bought a 30 pack of the same sock. They are pricey since it’s merino wool. I use them for every occasion and laundry is easier.
Lasik eye surgery. My contacts were -10.5 on each eye. I could not see without glasses and the lenses were insanely expensive. I spent less for the surgery than I would have for contacts and lenses the rest of my life.
It can start with psychological stuff, likeidentifyingthe things that make you feel that improvement is needed, whether it’s bad habits, negative thoughts, or unrealistic goals.Then what follows is findinghabitsor tricks that help to deal with these things, like exercising, eating more fruits and veggies, working ontime managementskills, and things like that. They might seem kind of cliché pieces of advice, but for some, they are exactly what their life needs to become a little bit better.For instance, the latter helps a person to effectively allocate their time so they can do things they need and want in a timely manner, but if you’re into self-improvement you already know that, don’t you?

A good bed will absolutely change your life.
A self cleaning litter box. I have cats and a healthy dose of depression, which aren’t ngs clean.Also cats, why have a weighted blanket when I could have 32lbs of cat on me at any given time. Don’t come for me. There’s three of them.
Power station (1 kWt). I live in Kyiv and we often stay without electricity, this thing helps.
What if we told you that the improvement can also come fromoutside? And we’re not talking about fulfilling relationships, more about items and services you can try out. (Since we’re accepting that we’re flawed here, let’s accept that consumerism is one of these flaws.)In this list, you’ll find plenty of examples of things people purchased with their money that they found to be worthy investments. For example, alaserhair removal procedure delays hair growth for long periods and reduces the time and money that is needed for shaving. Or buying a quality bed, where you can have qualitysleep– as we all know, proper rest can solve a lot of problems.

Noise cancelling headphones are a god send.
We have 2 Siberian huskies and the robot vacuum has changed my life! We run it every day and then I only need to drag the big vac out once a week.
My husband would say the Toto Washlet Bidet.For me? A kindle-read voraciously and being able to carry books when I travel or buy the next book immediately when I finish a series was life-changing.
Granted, not all of them might be the right fit for yourlifestyle, so before jumping to buy them without a thought, you should consider whether it will actually be able to improve your life or just become another thing covered in dust on the high shelf. After all, why wastemoneyon something that promises good results but doesn’t fit you as a person at all, right?
Electric tea kettle. Used to never drink tea and now my roommates and I have “tea time” together almost every evening before we go to sleep. Delicious and wonderful for winding down/ bonding.
Visual art for my home. It helps me feel more at ease, as opposed to blank walls.
Wool socks…. Darn tough. My diabetic feet have never been happier. Dumbledore was right… a good pair of socks is amazing.
I LOVE having a good sharp knife when I cook. It makes everything so much easier and is a much more cathartic experience. I particularly like my Wusthof and Shun knives. I’ve also got a butcher Ho Ching Kee that glides through prep. Have them professionally sharpened occasionally if you notice any dullness and you get the immediate gratification again of everything going right. It’s a good feeling, even if it ain’t cheap.
10 foot phone charger cords.
This sounds so dumb but it has improved my quality of life so much. I bought two of those green Gatorade sport bottles (literally off of Amazon) and now I actually stay hydrated. I keep one of them in the fridge and one of them out to drink. When I’ve finished drinking one bottle, I refill it, put that one in the fridge, and pull out the second bottle full of cold water. I keep repeating my little system and it keeps me from having a million half-drank cups of water. I know, it’s not that exciting but it’s lowkey changed my life.
Squatty potty. Pooping has never been more relaxed or easier.
