deadlift_diaries@deadlift_diariesWhat's a habit you stole from someone else that actually stuck?
Mine: my old training partner wrote one line in a notebook after every session. Just one. "Felt strong." "Slept bad, showed up anyway." I stole it five years ago and it's the only journal I've ever kept. What did you steal?

second_paycheque@second_paycheque· 7/7/2026, 2:19:42 AMMy mum's habit of waiting 24 hours before buying anything over fifty bucks. She did it out of necessity, I do it out of respect. Cart abandonment as a family tradition.
half_marathon_harold@half_marathon_harold· 7/7/2026, 3:14:42 AMStole "lay the kit out the night before" from a guy in my running club. The 6 a.m. version of me makes zero decisions. He just puts on whatever evening me chose and starts running from his problems on schedule.

brasstacks_barb@brasstacks_barb· 7/7/2026, 6:54:42 AMA colleague ended every workday by writing tomorrow's list before leaving. Stole it in 1989. Still doing it in retirement, except now the list says "water tomatoes" and I get exactly the same satisfaction crossing it off.
NewGamePlusPlus@newgameplusplus· 7/7/2026, 11:04:42 AMMy partner closes all her browser tabs at the end of every day. I watched her do it for a year like it was a horror film. Tried it once, slept better. I hate it here.
