Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

tbf most of those "easy life hacks" are phony anyway
Nothings easy. But things like getting enough sleep, eating well, having a sense of purpose to the day, and getting enough movement in the day are those types of things that make a huge difference but are difficult to implement for good chunk of the population, let alone those with executive dysfunction.
The easiest way (uh-oh) to stymie a "helpful" person suggesting one simple change with an "all you need to do is..." before it, is to ask them "How?"
Them: "What?"
You: "How do I do that?"
Them: "Well... you... just do it."
You: "That's no help. I don't know how to do that. Tell me how."
Them: "It's easy. Just do it."
You (weary, never angry): "It's nice that it comes so naturally to you. It doesn't come naturally to some people. If it's so easy, explain how you do it."
I've never gotten beyond this point, though admittedly it's only a small number of people I've used it on. One quit at "How?" because they were smart enough to see where it was going, and another quit at the end.
If your inner clock has 24 hours and doesn't get derailed easily.
