“What’s Something ‘Low Effort, High Reward’ You Wish More People Knew About?” (27 Answers)

Walking daily. Even just 10 minutes in the morning helps a lot.

Sunscreen and a hat works better than a $300 skincare routine.

Drink enough water daily.

I find it really rewarding giving people genuine compliments. Often I'll think, Oh that person always dresses nicely when I see them, or, her nail polish is really cute, and i used to just think this and move along. Lately, I've been telling people if I think something nice about them and you'd be surprised how genuinely happy it can make people.

We were shopping at this big outlet mall and there was a nice but pretty unhappy looking lady (in the States people smile a lot but not so much in this part of Europe; i understand that but this wasn't a case of that, really, she looked like she might be having a bad day) helping us. While she was packaging up the purchase I noticed her nails were really cute and, though I was kind of intimidated to say something (I try to mind my business here in case my small talk is unwanted lol), I said, "I like your nails, your nail polish, it's so cute." Her whole demeanor changed, it was like a dark cloud lifted from her face. She smiled and held up her hands to show me and said, "I did them myself!" I said, "really? It looks so good and it's like Easter colors" (this was before Easter). She was so happy, "Yes! I did them for Easter!" When we left the store she still looked happy and it felt so nice to me to think i made someone smile even if it was just for a moment.

7 minute stretching routine when you wake up and before you go to bed. Stretching is an extremely underrated type of exercise that can drastically affect how well your body moves without pain, especially as you get older.

Doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, every time you've eaten food.

I've made it a habit, and it's so nice that I can just go to my clean kitchen and start cooking, or make me a sandwich, whenever I feel like it.

I've begun cleaning while I cook, that limits the piles of dirty cooking gear afterwards, making the cleanup a lot easier and faster.

Working out, even for 10-20 mins every 2 days is enough to keep you in a better condition than the average person.

I live in Indiana and had kids in my 20s. I took online classes at community college with PELL grants for 2 years. While working. I didn't get a degree but I looked at what certificate I could get related to my day job. I worked at a warehouse. Got a certificate in Supply Chain Management and Logistics. I've gotten two promotions since then at the same company. I mailed my transcript to corporate HR and my profile in the system gives me credit for basically having a degree when I apply for jobs. I work in the office now doing inventory on spreadsheets and records etc.

Making bread or, in general, your own baked goods. So much better than what you get in a package (in taste and quality) and not as hard as people think.
