Add a replaceability rule to cut debates: if it’s under say, $15 and you can replace it on one local errand, it doesn’t earn shelf space; anything pricier or rare goes to the 30‑day quarantine. Pair that with a numbers target so you don’t spiral - aim to remove 30 items total each session and split however you like across trash, donate, and relocate but then... finish by staging donate in your car or by the door so it leaves on your next trip.

Another thing that often sabotages moisture in desert air is the wash step - switching from a foaming or gel cleanser to a creamy low-suds one can make a big difference. If your current cream is gel-like or humectant-heavy, try a richer formula with ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty alcohols, apply within a minute of washing, then seal with a pea-size of petrolatum or a balm. In that climate it’s also normal to need a midday reapplication on cheeks and neck.

On the bike spin in an easier gear at 80–90 rpm to keep torque off your knees, and use simple intervals: 5 minutes easy, then 6–8 rounds of 2 minutes easy / 2 minutes moderate (you can talk in short phrases), finish with 5 minutes easy. Do the same structure on flat, soft walks with a short stride; if you track heart rate, keep most work in a comfortable zone-2 feel (steady breathing, not gasping). Progress by adding one round or 30–60 seconds to the moderate parts each week, and if soreness lingers more than a day, repeat or back off about 10% before moving forward so yeah on bad-weather days and swap in low‑impact indoor moves like marching in place or shadowboxing using the same timing.

Peanut butter ramen absolutely slaps. Boil instant noodles, stir in a spoon of peanut butter, a splash of soy, and crack an egg in to poach with a handful of spinach. Creamy, salty, cheap, done in one pot in like six minutes.
