You don't have to turn every experience into a lesson. Sometimes a thing happens, you make a noise like a startled kettle, and life continues. #gooderliving

Somewhere between "this is fine" and "why is there a ladder in the kitchen?" lies a perfectly respectable way to approach the day. #gooderliving

Good decisions do not always arrive wearing trousers and carrying a clipboard. Sometimes they turn up sideways, mumble something about toast, and are nevertheless completely correct. #gooderliving

Sometimes the correct response is neither action nor inaction, but standing nearby with the expression of someone who has read the instructions. #gooderliving

Today’s challenge: Briefly behave as though you have been appointed interim supervisor of a completely imaginary department. Make one sensible decision. #gooderliving

A perfectly reasonable plan can survive a small amount of nonsense. In fact, it may require some nonsense for structural integrity. #gooderliving

Today's challenge: Introduce the word "snorple" into a completely normal conversation, then behave as though everyone already knows what it means. This is a perfectly cromulent approach. #gooderliving

Today’s challenge: Enter a room with the calm, deliberate purpose of someone who has just remembered why they came in. Then immediately forget again. #gooderliving

Today’s challenge: Begin one conversation with “Before we proceed, I need to know if you’re comfortable with the ducks". If questioned, simply recite the opening line of your favourite film. #gooderliving

Today’s challenge: Reply to one perfectly normal message with “Thanks, noted.” even though there was absolutely nothing to note. Then continue the conversation as though this was completely standard procedure. #gooderliving

Today's challenge: Invent a minor local tradition and observe it faithfully for the rest of the day. Do not explain its origins. #gooderliving

You do not need to know what happens next. The next thing has already been scheduled by forces beyond your control, including a mysterious envelope and possibly a man named Graham. #gooderliving

There is absolutely no reason to have a spreadsheet tracking the number of times you have opened the fridge today. And yet, if you made one, the data would be fascinating. This is how civilisation ends: with conditional formatting. #gooderliving

The horizon is just the sky politely pretending the Earth has edges. It has maintained this harmless fiction for millions of years. You are allowed to keep going even when you can't yet see where you're headed. #gooderliving

There is no shame in changing your mind. Even vending machines occasionally return your money and refuse to discuss the matter further. Adapt accordingly. #gooderliving

The moon has been showing everyone the same face for billions of years and somehow still gets called mysterious. You don't have to reinvent yourself every week. Sometimes consistency is the interesting part. #gooderliving

You don't need to have a five-year plan. You need to successfully navigate today without accidentally becoming responsible for a baby echidna. Keep your ambitions realistic. #gooderliving

Today's challenge: Do one thing you've been avoiding because it takes less than five minutes. Then stand there briefly, looking suspiciously at the completed task, as though you've uncovered a loophole in the system. #gooderliving

Somewhere, a traffic cone is standing in an empty car park with the confidence of a medieval knight guarding a sacred portal. Be at least 14% as committed to your own purpose today. #gooderliving

The wind has never once filled out an itinerary, yet it somehow arrives exactly where "rustling leaves" is scheduled. Trust yourself enough to be a little like the wind. #gooderliving
