上週五,當我們把員工每週的升級情況彙總到一起時,編輯們正在解開煩人的耳機線,在真凶電視上晒太陽,烤酥餅,最後關閉多餘的瀏覽器標簽。
本週,我們中的一些人更關註個人的改善,無論是看起來像是仔細的預算,最終趕上老朋友,接受早餐的重要性,還是花時間舒緩持久的面板問題。
你這周做了什麼升級?請在評論中告訴我們。
After iTunes failed to copy all my data from my iPhone 6S to my new 8, I spent a couple hours manually downloading and logging into all my apps. Turns out, that’s a great way to get rid of apps I never use. Thanks, Apple.

I bought a lovely new bike from tokyobike and I couldn’t be happier with it. She’s yellow and her name is Miss Mustard. We enjoy rides to Trader Joe’s for groceries.

I got prescription shampoo for my gross scalp. Really my head feels so much better. I was using OTC stuff and it just wasn’t working. Then I went to the derm and now I have gross sulfur shampoo but my head isn’t falling off anymore.

I wrote down a list of friends I haven’t seen in a while. I’m trying to go down the list and schedule time with each one, even if it will take me months. I think writing their names down helps me take initiative, instead of wistfully wondering what they’re up to and assuming it’s just too hard to get together these days.

I’m bad at breakfast. More often than not, a latte is my first meal of the day (I classify the coffee portion as a sort of liquefied version of cereal). Occasionally I’ll snatch a breakfast wrap from a bodega, but my frugal lifestyle discourages me from making it a daily habit. Besides, by the time I’m at my desk and ready to eat, I’ve already lost my appetite, and would prefer something a little more appropriate for lunch. The solution is simple: outsource breakfast, and make sure it’s on the cheap. My new routine now involves a slice of breakfast quiche, mankind’s greatest invention. The pie itself is inexpensive, about the same price as that breakfast wrap, and procured from my nearby market after a typical workday. My voracious eating habits mean the quiche only lasts about three days, but it also means I’m full of food and fuel before those days begin. Quiche-free days usually mean I’m full of ‘tude instead of food, making me seriously c***ider the whole “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” thing as more than a dumb catchphrase.

I’m usually reasonably good about saving and sticking to some semblance of a budget, but I can also play it fast and loose when it comes to charging stuff on a whim. Plus, within the last few months, I both moved to a much more expensive apartment and started a new job, meaning that my finances changed significantly, and the half-baked budget strategy I had in place before was totally out of date. This week, I sat down and took a close look at my income and recurring expenses, and put together a new budget based on the “50/30/20" rule— 50 percent of your income should be for necessities (rent, groceries, electricity), 30 percent for fun stuff (restaurants, shopping, travel), and 20 percent for savings. I also made a plan for what to do with that 20 percent savings (a mix of emergency fund, retirement accounts, and other investments), and I have to say, having a concrete plan in place is a huge relief from a problem I didn’t even realize had been causing me stress.
