Dental floss is not expensive. Why not buy many rolls? I have one in my work drawer, one on my desk at home and one in the bathroom.
I wish I could say this was motivated by clever psychological foresight. In fact, I routinely buy duplicates of consumables like dental floss, deodorant, sticking plasters, painkillers, etc., because I forget where I put the ones I already have. It actually works out quite well.
I only ever floss at home, in the morning after breakfast (if I eat breakfast) or after finishing my coffee and at night after dinner, so I don't feel like I need them scattered everywhere. If I put them all at home, they're taking up space and I'm not actively using them, so I feel like having 2 is enough at this point. I suppose I'm also less forgetful than you are: my dental floss has exactly one "home" so I always know where it is.
This is the public group instrumental rationality diary for the week of July 9th. It's a place to record and chat about it if you have done, or are actively doing, things like:
Or anything else interesting which you want to share, so that other people can think about it, and perhaps be inspired to take action themselves. Try to include enough details so that everyone can use each other's experiences to learn about what tends to work out, and what doesn't tend to work out.
Thanks to everyone who contributes!
