Take something I like in a restaurant and just buy the ingredients in the grocery store.
Salmon with french fries and salad? Buy the salmon, get a bag of salad mix, and frozen french fries. Not exactly the same, but a lot cheaper.

You don’t necessarily have to always object on things you don’t agree especially if they aren’t going to impact you. Example - your political views vs someone else’s, who is best actor, which is the best movie, best place for vacation and so on. Better save the energy because no one usually changes their opinion that quickly.

When I had an office job, I had a spare suit jacket in my desk. If I wanted to leave early I'd hang the suit jacket on my office chair and leave the lights on in my office. Everyone just assumed I was somewhere in the office working. I just made sure to come in a few minutes early the next day to put the jacket away.

Learning to use a task and projectmanagement tool with the getting things done methodology. After that my career is booming. I renovated a house while I got my kid. Before that my ADHD usually got me stuck in spirals. And yes I'm tired as hell but all people with young kids I know are, but most aren't doing half what I'm achieving.
