Sticking to the shower theme, if you're able and don't have really hard water, spray the walls of your shower before getting out. It'll get rid of the soap residue and keep it clean longer. Don't do this with hard water unless you feel like squeegeeing it off or you'll make it worse.

I wear button up shirts for work, and I only button and unbutton the second one down and pull the shirt on and off over my head (I never button the top button). By not buttoning and unbuttoning the other ones, it reduces the stress on the threads, and greatly reduces the chance that you will have a button pop off.
Take it easy for about half an hour or so after eating and then do some kind of physical activity. I learned that this has the best effect for lowering blood sugar in battling type 2 diabetes, but I think it's generally good advice for anyone? It doesn't have to be a heavy workout or anything. Even just getting up on your feet and walking around a bit makes a difference.
If you’re changing batteries on a device and get the used and new ones mixed up - or simply aren’t sure if they’re dead or if the issue is elsewhere - you can drop the battery on its base from about 10 cm high. If it bounces, it’s empty; if it doesn’t, it’s full. Allegedly, this doesn’t work with all types of batteries, but it probably works with the ones you’re using, which are likely Alkaline AA or AAA ones.
For anyone who's confused as to how this sorcery could work, it's due to the chemistry/physics of the battery. As batteries discharge, there is more crystal growth of the electrolyte. Crystals can store mechanical energy like a spring, while the electrolyte in solution absorbs energy. It's like dropping a water balloon vs dropping a solid rubber ball.

Following up on your tip - towel dry in your bathtub or shower to prevent your floors or bath mat from getting wet. Helps prevent mold as well!
