I like Boost because when I revisit a post, all the new comments are highlighted.
A lot of people feel the ways you do at one point or another in their lives, and that means you probably end up in their 90%.

The off light reminds me to unplug the device when I don’t need to use it.
Playing and studying chess, on www.lichess.org. It’s a free open source alternative to the heavily commercial chess dot com.
Learning a new language. Tons of free resources all over the internet
Learning card magic. You can go a long way with just a pack of cards and the 52Kards YouTube channel
Learning to play music. Tons of free resources all over the internet
Study a few pages every day of whatever is not motivating, and keep going for months and months
Have a vision of what you want to do later with that skill (for example "6 months from now, I program an app that can send Morse code through my phone’s flashlight ")
Every day, do the studying chores first, THEN do the fun stuff like playing video games or scrolling through social media. Never the opposite
Spend more time with those that have similar goals
Just checked: That post says 5 years, and I can see Otter’s comment
Don’t worry, things have been falling apart since at least the beginning of written history, and most certainly longer. At the same time, wonderful things have also been happening during all that time.
Just make sure you take good care of yourself and of the people around you.
A poster with pictures of airplanes, that you hang up on his playroom wall. And then you look at the planes together and name them every time you visit. That’s awesome fun for a 3 year old.

Don’t forget that back in 1998, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms reached a Trade Agreement with the Food & Drug Administration
WASHINGTON, DC—The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms and the Food & Drug Administration reached a formal trade agreement Monday. Under the terms of the deal, the ATF will provide the FDA with alcohol, tobacco and firearms in exchange for equal value in food and drugs.
“My administrative assistants and I were enjoying some of our food the other day when it hit us,” FDA Commissioner Michael Friedman said. “We have tons of food lying around, and tons of drugs, but nothing to drink, smoke or shoot. Then, someone—I think it was [deputy commissioner] Phil [Royce]—suggested we call up those guys at the ATF across town and see what we could get. Turns out, they were ready to deal.”

I was wondering the same for myself and here is a video that helped me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gkD2IGG6Hk
The whole channel is excellent if you are looking for tips on how to dress too.
Tldr: Why does anything cost money? Because someone will pay that amount to purchase it.
Start your own business, based on what you like to do AND on what some people around you need.
Become really good at it, and you will find people who will pay you to do it for them.
Do the best you can, and enjoy doing it, even if you don’t get so much money at first.
Eventually, as your reputation grows, so will your income, but it doesn’t really matter how long it takes because you are enjoying yourself already.
As we die, the question isn’t “how much money I had?”, but instead “how many of those days were worth living?”
