A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.
While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.
This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.
Rules and guidelines:
Hello comrades and welcome to the fourth improvement megathread of May! 
Some discussion ideas:
- How was your week?
+ Do you have some plans for next week?

any worthwhile (hopefully) short reads on time management for autistic adults? the war has just wrecked my schedule and routine that i didn't really plan for, and now i am constantly miserable, overworked and somehow falling behind on everything. fixing it takes mental effort that i keep finding myself out of budget for, and the "fixes" themselves require the same mental effort to start. so im just hoping if i can at least sort out my schedule i can find some empty time to relax without the "lack of productivity guilt".
I don't have autism but I read Getting Things Done in college and it greatly helped me become organized and productive. I also just found Getting Things Done with Adult ADHD 1, maybe that will be useful.
My pro tip is to make a schedule one day in advance. Then put the time blocks into your calendar app (I use Google Calendar) and enable notifications. That way you will get a notification on your phone which literally tells you what you need to do at any given moment.
My last tip is remember that none of this shit is your fault. Everybody in capitalism is overworked, time-starved, dopamine-starved and miserable. I sometimes listen to this guided meditation to unwind 
thanks i remain hopeful but there's not a ton to be hopeful about.
My doggy died this week. I've been doing my best to keep my head above water, I've not pushed myself with anything. Work has been hell.
Sorry for your loss. My dog passed one year ago, worst day of my life. Still miss her 
Sorry for your loss of the four legged pal comrade, losing pets is so hard.
Still mostly stuck in place in regards to going to the gym or just working out in general. I haven't for the past two weeks.
Small victories? First time making a baked pasta and it turned out pretty good. Eventually I want to try making my own sauce again (first time I got mixed results so I used a pre-made for this). Also installed an AC unit for the first time. It was a struggle for a bit since I did it on my own, but nothing that would be impossible.
For this upcoming week I want to try and refocus on working out as I have for a while now. Also starting to consider setting up a self hosting server for my media.
Still walking and doing therapy, TRYING to eat as best I can, but I did splurge and cheat and grab a pizza yesterday, making tacos this week. I've also been trying to look after myself more in regards to how I look, I've been shaving regularly, like today I bought some dollar shave razors even so I'll stick with it. For reference, I went almost 4 years without shaving and had a big ol' grief beard I was rocking and never going out in public. Well, I chopped it off and shaved my head. It's nice to look like my old self, if just a bit chubbier.
