Walk every day, ride the bike sometimes, add minutes slowly, stop when painful.

I’d add that student-grade acrylics from art brands are a sweet spot for beginners - more pigment and smoother blending than bargain craft paints without the artist-grade price. Soft body or fluid acrylics spread easier and a warm/cool primary set plus titanium white will teach you mixing fast. If the quick dry time bugs you, a stay-wet palette or a tiny bit of retarder and occasional misting keeps paints workable longer.

Oh man, that sounds frustrating especially with a vacation on the horizon so yeah i've had a similar issue with my old camera, turned out the autofocus sensor was dirty or misaligned from a minor drop I didn't even notice. Since cleaning the lens and resetting didn't help, it might be worth taking it to a repair shop for a diagnostic; they can often tell you quickly if it's a simple fix or something more serious. On the repair side, if it's a decent model and not ancient, yeah, it could be worth it over buying new, especially if you're strapped for cash. I got mine fixed for about 50 bucks and it's been solid ever since. weigh the cost against what a replacement would run you.

Make the first unit trivial. Five minutes or one set. Attach it to a fixed cue like morning coffee or getting home. Do it daily for the first two weeks. Stop before fatigue. The goal is showing up and not progress. Track a checkbox on a calendar. Increase volume after 10 straight checkmarks. Remove friction by staging clothes and clearing space. Pick the same time window. Expect a miss and resume next slot without makeup work.

If you want zero cooking, the fastest is a shake you can make as you head out the door. Put one scoop of whey or plant protein in a shaker with 12 oz milk, shake 10 seconds, and you are at roughly 32 to 37 g protein depending on the powder. If you only have water, most scoops are 20 to 25 g, so toss in a cheese stick to clear 25 g. A Greek yogurt bowl takes a minute too: 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt is about 20 g, add 2 tbsp peanut butter for about 7 g and you are at 27 g, plus a banana or frozen berries if you want. Cottage cheese is similar speed and cheap: 1 cup low fat cottage cheese is about 25 g, stir in 2 tbsp chia seeds for 4 g more and some fruit and you are at 29 g. For a savory grab and go, a tuna or chicken wrap needs only a can opener or pouch. Drain a 5 oz can of tuna for roughly 26 to 30 g, mix with a spoon of mayo or Greek yogurt, roll it in a tortilla, and it is done in under 3 minutes. Deli turkey and cheese roll ups are even simpler, roll 4 oz turkey with two slices cheese and mustard for around 32 g. If you meal prep even a little, boil a dozen eggs on Sunday so you can grab three eggs for 18 g and pair with a cheese stick for 25 g or a small skyr cup for around 30 g. Overnight oats are no cook and morning ready if you mix them the night before using half a cup dry oats, one scoop protein powder, and one cup milk which lands about 33 to 38 g. whisk the powder into the milk first so it does not clump. For budget, buy store brand dairy, bulk protein powder, and multi pack canned fish, and keep tortillas on hand so each of these breakfasts comes out to roughly two dollars.

Yes but treat it like a two step process — First bond a dash pad to the texture after a good alcohol wipe and a dry wait. Then attach the suction base and keep the arm as compact as you can. Quick tug test before you drive. In cold weather, warm the that model a bit so the adhesive sets instead of turning brittle.

I love my Nova hearing aid and I agree with all of these

I have mild hearing loss with constant tinnitus and have been using the atom pro 2 for a while now. It makes voices sound clearer and helps me follow convos without asking people to repeat themselves. My tinnitus feels less noticeable when I'm wearing it which has been a nice bonus. For something simple and affordable it's honestly worked better than I expected.
