Brand, thing, behavior, method, advice, mantra, etc.

I swear by Blackwing pencils.

Also, the ‘two minute rule’, which has really improved my life: “if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it.” I’ve got untreated attention issues and it’s very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn’t forget in the long run has been great for me.

    Can people actually learn to be curious?

    It seems rare m, particularly in my circle. I seem to be the only curious one, they just plod along.

      It’s a choice. It’s best instilled with kids. As an adult, not so easy. I guess it would be best to lead by example. If others see how it helps you, they may try to emulate. It becomes a habit. It gets easier the more you do it.
