I have two

figured out how to reformat an old hard drive that i needed the space to store new shows I wantef to have and was able to make room for so much stuff. It took way to long for me to sit down focused and walk thru a 5 minute youtube video explaining it and it paid off. I knew that was the solution all the while, just took a long time to buckle down and do it. I need to get more in that habit
Couldnt remember debit pin and its annoyed me for a long time when i needed to withdraw cash various times. Found a forum post saying the exact process in the banks app and had it sorted out in less than a minute. Itd been like 3 months I put up with that and its just not an issue anymore

Had stinky feet throughout my whole adulthood. Always wore padded shoes with a fake leather cover, like every shoe shop throws at you with promises of them being breathable.

Then recently bought shoes with canvas for the cover material and they single-handedly solved the problem. My feet are not always hot anymore, because I am just wearing two pieces of cloth over them (canvas+socks) rather than thick padding. And they are actually breathable, too, allowing sweat to dissipate pretty quickly.

And if I do sweat more in the summer and they start to smell, I can chuck them into the washing machine¹ to undo that entirely.

At the risk of wholly explaining what a cloth is, I guess, I should also mention that moisture does not just go out of the shoes more easily, but obviously also into them. So, they're not as great of a choice for rainy days. But yeah, that tradeoff is definitely worth it for me.

¹) The shoes I got actually recommend putting them into the washing machine. Might not be a good idea with other canvas shoes.
