Floss the teeth you want to keep.
Use Voice Notify to read notifications if you drive a lot or work with your hands a lot. Also useful if you have notification addiction, by restricting what it can read.
Change your car's oil often.
Sennheiser noise canceling over the ear headphones are comfortable enough to sleep in even if you're a side sleeper. Combine with brown noise for a good night sleep if you have snoring people or animals.

Hard disagree. If you accidentally cover the mic in the right way, you'll be greeted by a loud, high-pitch feedback noise that will violently wake you up.
Use a calendar. Put every item into it and let it direct you around. Throw out any other calendar or appt reminder you’re using.
If your job needs its own calendar, set up your calendar apps to show both somehow (there are different ways to do this).
The stress of trying to remember every meeting, appointment, or scheduled task goes away.
If you're not going to soak your dishes, at least splash some water on them and leave them upside down. The food bits won't harden as much and you won't have to scrub as hard.
Always keep stock of water in an extra overhead tank or atleast an extra lid bucket bathrooms for emergency when tap water ran out. Just make sure to change water every two weeks to prevent bug parties in it.
If you don't have kettle then have a lot of water bottles especially that can store warm drinking water for long time, to never run short of warm drinking water in winter.
If you have a tankless water heater, and have to run the tap for a really long while to get hot water, look into timed recirculating pumps. It'll save you a ton of money and make you kick yourself for not doing it sooner.
Always remember that it can always get worse. Always.
Edit for clarification: And will.
Handle one fragile thing at a time, with your attention dedicated to it. No random thoughts and no multitasking or you might break something.
If you're having a hard time opening a jar or bottle, wrap a rubber band around the lid, then use that to grip and twist it. I don't know why it works so well but it does.

Because the torque you can apply to the lid is usually limited by grip strength/friction, not arm strength/leverage.
If you work from home, make it a point to get up and get dressed for your shift. Dressing casual is fine. Consider putting on shoes or house shoes too. There's something about it that wakes you up and gets you in the right mind every day.
Be kind to yourself. Have respect for yourself. Sometimes we do to others what we have done to ourselves.
