There is wisdom in knowing when to stop pushing an idea uphill. There is also a man in regional Tasmania who has been pushing a wheelbarrow uphill since Friday morning and is now too committed to discuss it. #gooderliving

Today’s challenge: Encounter an entirely ordinary situation and quietly assess whether it would benefit from a small committee. Do not form the committee. #gooderliving

You don’t always need to understand a situation completely to proceed. Sometimes all you need is confidence, a packet of marshmallows and a functional clipboard. #gooderliving

Somewhere between a sensible decision and an inexplicable one lies a third option, quietly eating a sandwich and waiting to see what happens. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Today’s challenge: At the next opportunity, take a completely ordinary sentence and add the phrase "pending parliamentary approval" to the end of it. Continue as normal. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

A surprising amount of life is simply knowing which strange little thing can be safely ignored until tomorrow. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

There is no shame in making a perfectly reasonable decision for reasons that would be extremely difficult to explain to a magistrate. #gooderliving

Today’s challenge: Notice that something is happening an hour earlier than expected. Accept this information without conducting an investigation. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

There are days when everything seems slightly out of place. This is normal. The important thing is to keep going while quietly wondering who has moved the hallway. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

A good plan does not need to be elaborate. It just needs to survive contact with reality, preferably without becoming a regional incident. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Today’s challenge: Notice something mildly inconvenient and give it the amount of attention normally reserved for a suspicious noise in an unfamiliar building. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

You do not need to have everything figured out. Sometimes the correct approach is simply to identify the burning thing, deal with it, and submit an incident report to the nearest horse. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Some problems are best solved immediately. Others need to sit quietly in a corner until they understand what they have done. Eventually they may request a biscuit. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Today’s challenge: Find an ordinary situation and briefly consider whether it would benefit from the presence of a lighthouse. Email senior management with your findings. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

A perfectly ordinary day can contain tiny victories, administrative nonsense, and one person somewhere confidently pressing the wrong button. Carry on accordingly. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

There is no shame in changing your mind. Several excellent minds have been changed by sandwiches. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Today’s challenge: Pay for something using your card and, when there’s no mysterious little surcharge appearing at the end, quietly regard this as evidence that society may occasionally move in the correct direction. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

There is no need to have everything figured out. A surprising amount of life can be navigated with reasonable intentions and one suspiciously specific hunch. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Some situations benefit from careful consideration. Others benefit from a shrug, a slight nod, and continuing in roughly the same direction. #gooderliving

001

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Today’s challenge: Adopt the quiet confidence of someone who has just received extremely important information, despite having received absolutely no information whatsoever. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

There is wisdom in knowing when to investigate further and when to quietly accept that the situation appears to involve a goose for reasons nobody has documented. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

A day does not need a grand narrative. It can simply contain several small decisions, a moderate amount of confusion, and one inexplicable administrative development. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Today’s challenge: Make one completely reasonable decision while carrying yourself like someone who has just received classified information about a very ordinary sandwich. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Good decisions do not always arrive wearing trousers and carrying a clipboard. Sometimes they turn up sideways, mumble something about toast, and are nevertheless completely correct. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Somewhere between "this is fine" and "why is there a ladder in the kitchen?" lies a perfectly respectable way to approach the day. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Today’s challenge: Briefly behave as though you have been appointed interim supervisor of a completely imaginary department. Make one sensible decision. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

You don't need a perfect plan. You need one decent idea, a willingness to begin, and absolutely no involvement from the Department of Unnecessary Complications. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Some problems resolve themselves. Others simply lose interest and wander off to bother someone else. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Today’s challenge: Complete one extremely ordinary task with the solemn concentration of a technician defusing an explosive yoghurt. Then continue your day as though nothing unusual occurred. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

The day does not need to make sense. It merely needs to remain technically operational until further notice. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

A perfectly ordinary day can contain one completely unnecessary detour and still arrive somewhere useful. This is how side quests become infrastructure. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Today’s challenge: Make one completely unnecessary but harmless administrative decision, document it mentally as "resolved" and proceed as though a small but important government has just been stabilised. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

A perfectly reasonable plan can survive a small amount of nonsense. In fact, it may require some nonsense for structural integrity. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Not everything needs improving. Some things are perfectly adequate and would like to remain that way, preferably without being placed in a focus group or given a laminated action plan. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Today’s challenge: Give one completely ordinary decision the level of ceremony normally reserved for the launch of a major space programme. Announce it to your family group chat. Proceed with the decision. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

A day does not need a dramatic achievement to count. Occasionally it is enough to leave fewer problems behind than were found. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Sometimes the correct response is neither action nor inaction, but standing nearby with the expression of someone who has read the instructions. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Today’s challenge: Say "I have a theory about this" immediately before doing something entirely ordinary. Then carry on as though the theory was extremely important. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Sometimes the best approach is to stay quiet. A surprising number of situations improve when nobody introduces a new idea during the final five minutes. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

There is no shame in taking the sensible option. Civilisation was largely built by people deciding that this seemed less complicated. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Today’s challenge: Make a completely unnecessary but technically valid adjustment to your usual breakfast routine. Do not explain it. Let history decide. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Not every problem deserves immediate intervention, a clipboard, or a strongly worded email. Some problems resolve themselves. Others simply lose interest and wander off to bother someone else. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

There is something deeply reassuring about a plan that survives contact with reality without requiring a small committee and an emergency biscuit. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Today’s challenge: Find an entirely unnecessary reason to use the phrase "well, that’s certainly one way of doing it" and deploy it with complete sincerity. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

A reasonable decision does not need a ceremonial trumpet. Sometimes it just needs to be made and left quietly on the desk. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

There is no universal requirement for everything to make sense immediately. Some things need to sit around looking suspicious for a while. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Today's challenge: Introduce the word "snorple" into a completely normal conversation, then behave as though everyone already knows what it means. This is a perfectly cromulent approach. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

You are allowed to change your mind. Preferably before the kettle has boiled, because kettles take these things personally. #gooderliving

000

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

A sensible life occasionally requires making peace with the fact that the instructions were written by someone called Trevor. #gooderliving

Gooder Living @gooderliving.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Today’s challenge: Enter a room with the calm, deliberate purpose of someone who has just remembered why they came in. Then immediately forget again. #gooderliving
