This one feels like it’s only ever pulled out to question what someone else thinks is possible, but I do think it should be a rule. We don’t codify it much because it seems obvious.
“Don’t lie to yourself”
Are you really going to start a 4 times a week gym habit when you don’t go at all right now? No, but trying to make yourself go on a walk 4 times a week has way less barriers and work to make happen. Set the gym goals as the next step.
Do you really feel like you were fully in the right with the least fight you had? Or are you still hurt and you don’t want to be vulnerable until you felt heard?
And also to be clear, you have to be careful not to stagnate and hold yourself to different standards as you get older. Just because you couldn’t start a gym habit in your 20s out of nowhere doesn’t mean it holds true in your 40s. But if you keep failing to meet your own personal goals, or the expectations keep being off, I usually find that somewhere along the way I lied to myself about something. Being able to identify that is a huge step to self improvement.
holding the door open for someone who’s too far away to catch it in time. We all pretend to be polite, but then we just awkwardly stand there waiting for them to sprint.
Wash your hands when you’ve gone to the toilet. As a man it surprises me every time how many leave the toilet right after they’ve gone.
When COVID first started I laughed out loud because our prime minister felt it was necessary to explain to people how to wash their hands and why it was important to do so. I was like ”we all know that and do that, right?”. Oh, how naive I was. Started paying more attention to it in the last couple of years, and yeah…I can see why he felt it was necessary.
An unwritten rule that everyone secretly breaks is pretending to be busy when you’re not. Whether it’s at work or in social settings, a lot of people put on a façade of being super productive or important, even if they’re just scrolling through their phone or daydreaming. It’s like a social survival tactic!

If it’s unwritten and everyone breaks it, then it’s not a rule.
