    Probably fix my desktop computer. It’s been down since 2017, with a failing PSU, bad capacitors, and a bad chipset fan.

    I already have all new replacement parts I need to fix it, for the third time no less, but I just haven’t felt like outright doing it yet.

    Honestly, I’ll probably be more motivated to fix it if I get some sockets to install where the capacitors are, so I don’t have to keep torturing the board with the soldering iron in the future.

    I dunno, my 2 laptops have been good enough for me over the years since, maybe I’ll fix the desktop one of these days years…

    Fix a light that is hanging out of the wall because the asshats who built my house didn’t put it in a box.

      I think I get what you mean, but for anyone else reading: Get cash back rewards!

      I use my credit card for literally every single purchase I would normally make, paying bills and all, and I get between 1.5%-3% back. Obviously you never let interest accrue you just pay it off right away, but every few months I get essentially free money, usually $200+!

        I do this, but recently had the realization that my small percentage of cash back is sourced from the fee the credit card company charges to the vendor. After this realization I now prefer to pay cash when dealing with small local businesses. I’ve even found a few places that will give you a discount for not using a credit card which is quite nice.

          What is an " “everyone should” thing"?

          They’re giving advice about someone a lot of people don’t know about, not sure what you’re implying they’re doing.

    Honestly, pretty much everything I do is habit.

    If I have to actually think about doing something, it’s usually because something really bad just happened.

    For a while, I thought the answer to this was writing a book I’ve been thinking about for a long time. Then, after seeming years of thinking about it, I went to write it down only to realize it’s unwritable because of certain transitions that were not considered. Starting a week ago, the answer has become another writing project, but I’m not thinking about it that much anyways.

    Currently, plug in my phone to my laptop and organize all the loose audio files on my SD card. I have a lot of organized ones already, but probably more unorganized out of the over 500 files than organized. Would just take a while of me sitting down and working instead of feeling daunted by the task.
