What's Some Advice You Give But Don't Take?

“Don’t overthink it” & “worrying won’t solve the problem when you have to wait anyway”.

I always give that advice. However, I, personally, always overthink and keep worrying.

I would agree, but I'm still frantically thinking whether I actually agree and whether I should be expressing that publicly!

Always add tests to your code!

True that haha
In practice, I live by "never write any code that's important enough for anyone to insist on testing it" 😎

“Done is better than perfect.”

I'm working on this, though i usually say - I'd rather get bitched at for doing it wrong than for not doing it. At my job it's to emphasize the stupidity of the task and the lack of training on a shitty system.

Be kind to yourself

Stop checking the news.

Grab a book before sleeping rather than your phone.

Asking for help us a sign if strength, not weakness.
I know that because i find it extremely hard to ask for help.
I feel you so fucking much.
Sometimes it helps to take your own advice, like having a conversation with yourself as if you were another person.
Other times, there's a cloud around our heads that stops that from working.
I hope you find someone to talk to who treats you with the same compassion that you treat others.
Depending on where you live, someone to talk to is probably a phone call away. Give it a try if that's an option.

It's not a problem if it takes you 12 tries and you still haven't gotten it, do it a 13th. If I don't do something perfect on the 1st or 2nd try I'll most likely never do it again.

I get the opposite problem. If I get things nearly perfect on the first try, I'll just think to myself that I'll never top that and give up. There's something satisfying about seeing improvement. In the same vein, seeing results get worse is highly discouraging.

"don't worry about it being perfect" and "stop being so self critical"

If you just do the thing, people will stop asking you when are you going to do the thing.

Mom called. She wants to know when to expect grandkids.
- She already has 5 leave me be.

Sleep more.

You really need to get your backups in order.

Ohh that was a good one. best one I think.
Same as having a good backup strategy but didn't try to restore once.

Try to hit the gym at least 3 times a ~~day~~ week. Daily if you can, even if it just means a light "spa" day.

Three times a day, or, if you can muster it, once a day!
- Lol, oops. 3 times a week
Rest days are important! Depending on what you're doing of course but ya need to rest
- I overheard someone saying that rest days can be even more important than gym days because that's when the body recovers.
  My body does a lot of recovering!

All advice I give is advice I should take, but don't

Don't Write Lemmy Posts In Title Case

Actually, I like capitalizing random nouns, so sometimes I might do that accidentally.

as a swiss german (we capitalize nouns for those who don't know), I sometimes automatically capitalize nouns when writing in english, especially when I just wrote something in german. Its a habit and at least for me, its really hard to prevent me doing it.
Same is for when I wrote mucn in english before, then writing something in german. Then everything is in lowercase.

Have a good schedule
