Some ideas of mine:

  • really bright lights
  • a cook book with healthy, easy, and quick recipes
  • some computer hardware, like a better keyboard or mouse, or a second computer screen
  • a few meditation lessons
  • good headphones (in terms of quality, not price)
  • some room decoration, e.g. plants
  • paying a delivery service instead of buying things yourself
  • an electric teeth brush (assuming you don't own one)

What about larger investments, i.e. $200-$500? If they lead to a proportionally better life, these might be worth considering as well.

What about larger investments ...

thus point 5 above :) don't limit yourself to $100... it's an anchoring point for ideas that are probably in the affordable range (for me)
