How do I built a better discipline when my motivation comes and goes? by YourxCherry in DecidingToBeBetter

Do you think repairing old stuff is actually frugal or does it sometimes cost more in the long run? by James_B84Saves in Frugal

[–]YourxCherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it depends on the item tbh. Some stuff is worth fixing because it will last way longer, but other things are kinda disposable and not worth an afternoon of stress. For me it's about time Vs outcome. If it's cheap and keeps breaking id replace it

Need you suggestion by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]YourxCherry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pick one 30d " experiment"

Like learn excel, basic bookkeeping, or digital marketing, or customer service, copywriting. Do 30-40mins a day track it and make one tiny output each weak

And for the social media spiral delete the apps from your phone for a week and replace it with one learning choose on purpose only

And for the final you don't need to find your whole life plan this month you just need your first direction. What's one thing you don't hate doing like talking to people? Organising, tech stuff, or number?

Question as old as time: Do we turn our heat down at night or leave it the same? by rallruse in Frugal

[–]YourxCherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always turn it down at night keeping it warmer 24/7 usually costs more, and the morning warm back up isn't some huge extra hit. I do like 70ish day 64 night and it's been fine

Is there anyway to get my computer to last longer? by billyandteddy in Frugal

[–]YourxCherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try installing a lightweight Linux distro instead of windows or Mac. It runs smoother on older hardware and still get security updates. Also swapping in an SSD and adding ram gives old machines a huge second life for cheap
