Any thing worth doing is worth doing well.

Just finished both seasons of "Restaurant to another world", and I appreciated that the chef was always putting in effort to do things to the highest quality, to learn new techniques, and to bring people joy, and that was his primary motivation rather than focusing on profit.

Combo of using a standing desk and a balance board has been a game changer for me this year. I've felt myself getting stronger each day, and able to stand for longer. I dance and bounce around while working, and it boosts my energy and motivation. Highly recommend it.

This app did the thing yet again where it updated itself and turned “Require alt text before posting” off, so if you have that set, go into Settings > Accessibility and turn it back on (and if you don’t have it set, I recommend doing that)
