something nice to do for humanity, especially if you have a less common blood type, or a rare one.
go figure out your full blood type (what's your rh, do you know?), and donate. make it a cool bonding activity that you do with your friends, family, significant other(s), teammates or co-workers, for the good of others...then go brag about it online to make it even more popular, but also to feel better about your selflessness, get those virtual applause and boost your level in the merciless world of online presence.
this can also be a motivator to keep yourself healthier (read it how you see fit, focus on what matters). would you want someone to get bad blood? obviously not! do regular blood check-ups.
also, check before you donate if you can. sometimes you might not be the best person to do so, for example, if you have low blood pressure, just got a tattoo or other skin procedures (wait 6 months), smoke pot sometimes (get clean first, you have bigger issues, you are making your brain mush), take diet pills or other medication that you should not, etc.

Get the blood donation mug.to overbusiness, the process of overbusinessing, a state in which you can find yourself (ideally on purpose)
to just succeed in business with pure nonchalance, to shake hands and close deals en-mass and be a serial hi-fiver, to have a certain flair for the money, to make it happen fast in a world where capitalism is law and be the alpha gamer of the game, to build an empire where few others, as a percentage, have dared to, to come out of every human interaction with a new action-investment plan, to be Starfleet, not Kirk, on your enterprise.

Get the overbusiness mug.although mostly described on the internet as something taking massive, complex proportions, this is pretty much every moment when you choose to not focus on your actual life, and instead pick to escape to some other version of events.
also known as counterproductive daydreaming.
can you make a choice (most often a series of choices) that can change your circumstances in some way? if the answer is "definitely no, i am stuck here, for real, with no escape whatsoever, seriously", then think about working with yourself to improve some other aspect of your life instead. it will not be in vain.
an action plan that you actually plan on taking action on, but you think about a lot, will not fall under this category...unless you are a coward, and keep delaying taking action. that's maladaptive.
some consider this type of daydreaming/fantasising as manifestation, or, worse, as meditation. that is why they are, most likely, behind on their goals...or they just have unethical goals and the universe said: "denied!".

Doug's brain: it's summer. it's too hot. i'm uncomfortable. i am seeing myself engulfed in snow..making snow angels..skiing..making more snow angels (loop on last image)
some God: i'm thinking hard right now where to place this. might be maladaptive daydreaming, it's a bit of a gray area. the snow angels are a nice touch though, thanks!

Get the science fiction mug.something you definitely need, regardless of how old you are, and untouchable you feel right now (me, at 18), to make sure you will always age gracefully (aka. for sure less wrinkles and sunspots). use A LOT! pick the highest SPF you can find, and reapply regularly, the sun has no mercy! and keep in mind that, broadly speaking, right now, that SPF pretty much refers to how often you need to reapply. understand the difference between a chemical sunscreen and a mineral one, read some reviews and pick the type you are most comfortable with. and yes, one will make you look a bit more white when it has a higher SPF, but it's healthier.
a tan is a skin burn, so it's damaged skin. embrace your natural, initial, skin colour, and don't blindly follow current beauty trends. think about your future look.
stick to the shadows, if you're seeing natural light around, this means the sun hits you in some way already, don't worry so much about your vitamin D, that's not how you optimise heath for your bones (but do go and check to see if you have a vitamin D deficiency, it might be genetic, and you might need supplements, you might need to take some vitamin D3).
don't go to the beach to get a tan, go for the view, the salty air, the vast open space for swimming, or just the pleasure of hanging around in water, if that's more your style.

Doug: i see light outside, the sun is there, somewhere. where's my 50+ SPF mineral sunscreen? this London weather is not kind on my skin. where are more clouds? damn you, global warming, damn you!

Get the sunscreen mug.music genre that can infuse even the most sad romantic song with anger, making you feel the bitterness behind the soft flowing words, previously too subtle, before this translation, teaching us not to make the mistake of idealising toxic, co-dependant situations, and glorifying drama as passion - "It must have been love", a good example, and what many like to focus on when looking at their relationships.
for the keen introspecter, there will be truth to the words "heavy metal broke my heart".

Get the heavy metal mug.something nice to do for the environment, especially if you live in a country where a large percentage of the energy is clean. even though manufacturing it has a big impact on the environment, because of those darn batteries that every electric car company, and not only, is working on improving to the point of exasperation, with your purchase, you would be supporting the research to build better things, faster.

friend: you're getting a car? i hope it's an electric car, you promote them like you work there, don't disappoint.
Doug: placed my order. waiting. (pacing impatiently) delivery estimate sometime next year. this will be a hellish wait. it takes way too long to build my electric baby! we need to move faster. funding always helps. have you considered an electric car? better than that old Covid Audi of yours.
