On the fourth day, he rose again…to answer yet another general prompt.

Today’s question is all about how I go about making my life bearable – or, more precisely, the strategies for us all at home. Well, looks like I’m in for another one of my blatant lists:

• I go for daily walks – one at 7:00, the other at 11:00 and an extra one if I can manage it at 18:00. This includes university days, though the timing is different – go for a browse around campus for any materials I might need. Probably stops me from getting sick/uncomfortable.
• I take a break after every hour and a half away from technology to stop me from getting back cramps, eye strain etc.
• I wear a wide brimmed hat in summer to keep the sun off my head. Honestly, more people should do this – hats were invented for a reason!
• Since I’m pretty eco, we don’t go for air conditioning, but if it’s hot I make sure my rooms are well ventilated in the early morning before the sun gets too bold. Thereafter, I shut all blindows and close the blinds until evening. Sunlight deficiency is not a problem, since I still go for walks at the above times, so sadly I shan’t be getting rickets yet!
• I also lay my bedding on the floor in summer. Matresses and duvets are as of late too hot.
• I do not own Twitter or Tiktok. Enough said.

Well, that was not particularly exciting advice. Most of it probably doesn’t work, but who am I to know better? I’m a creative writing blog! I’m not an expert in comfitude!

Anyone got any better ideas? You’ve got a choice between answering the blog prompt on site, letting me know in the comments or flatly refusing to share/getting on with your life. Either way, have a good day!
