I’ll go first. After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.

Floss the teeth you want to keep.

Use Voice Notify to read notifications if you drive a lot or work with your hands a lot. Also useful if you have notification addiction, by restricting what it can read.

Change your car's oil often.

Sennheiser noise canceling over the ear headphones are comfortable enough to sleep in even if you're a side sleeper. Combine with brown noise for a good night sleep if you have snoring people or animals.

To add to your first one, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BRUSH YOUR TONGUE, TOO. It makes a world’s difference and I’m actually astonished how many people I’ve interacted with that noticeably don’t do it.

Even better, get a proper tongue scraper like this one. Scrape all that stupid, nasty bullshit of your tongue first. THEN brush your teeth & tongue. THEN an alcohol-free mouthwash.

It's a lot easier to brush the bad bacteria & waste away if most of it has been physically removed before the brushing.

I know you're being funny, and I appreciate the joke. 🙂 But I am so serious...alcohol-free. Not only is it less 'sketchy', but it's better for you & will result in better breath.

Ever smelled a chronic alcoholic's breath, particularly after they haven't had a drink for a while? Rancid.

It's the same with the alcohol in the mouthwash; it kills all the bacteria & flora in your mouth. Good & bad. It wipes the entire landscape clean, and unfortunately, the bad/stinky bacteria tends to be more resilient than the good bacteria. It multiplies & becomes a persistent, dominant presence. Which doesn't help your breath, even with regular brushing & tongue scraping.
