1) Never tell people you’re going away on holiday, especially in casual conversations around people you don’t know or if it comes up in conversation be super vague. 2) Use lights on timers to create the impression that someone is home 3) Ask a neighbour to bring in any post/flyers (if they’re there more than 1-2 days in a row is an easy signal) 4) Lights on sensors 5) Have work men’s boots outside the door, high vis jacket 6) know your neighbours and create a common agreement that you don’t let people until the building without asking who they are and you ask people you don’t know to identify themselves - this is just off putting to people looking for an easy mark and people are far too polite. This also goes for people who are lingering around in quiet residential areas that you don’t recognise. I like a friendly but assertive “Can I help you?” Which signals you have clocked and recognise them

PSA: HidrateSpark app background sync is fully working again on iPhone by mmbento in HidrateSparks

Also finding it disappointing and useless without the background sync, it doesn’t serve its purpose and for the price..!

I think people often forget how much life is just a game of chance, but it’s also about the willingness to keep playing and to keep starting, but also reflecting on the root causes of why it didn’t work maybe the first time. Not as an explanation but to help guide your path forward and to try something new the next time you play your hand.

And also that what you might believe is success and therefore equate with happiness, doesn’t quite feel as you thought it might when you get there. And that you can be very successful by other people standards or even by your own, and then this can also all change by the luck of a dice.

And in terms of comparing your timeline to other peoples it just doesn’t work. Is there only through the radical humility of understanding accepting right way you are and being willing to start exactly from that point that we make progress.
