I recently began flossing every other day. I've also been managing to maintain my exercise program, a very un-ambitious schedule of running 2 miles twice a week; I had a long break during the spring when I was much troubled with allergies.
On flossing, I want to note for others that my dentist said once every other day was sufficient. I like once a day so that when I forget it shouldn't matter. I haven't done any research to confirm or deny this, though. Also, the number I was given was that flossing increased your life expectancy by two years - prior to hearing this I had never motivated myself to floss.
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!
Academian put up a wiki page with links to the prior May and June threads for reference. Good idea, thanks!
