"Young people love to tease and drag older folk for their seemingly "old person" habits, but recently, the BuzzFeed Community shared the routines they've adopted that actually improve their lives in delightful ways."
"I write vignettes about what happened the day before. It's my funny journal."
"I cook a full country breakfast every morning for my husband and me and then sit and watch an hour of TV while I drink my giant cup of coffee. The show I love best is Laramie. Old westerns are a great escape from the news!"
"There's always room for ice cream, at least according to all my grandparents"
Many people adopt habits stereotyped as 'old' that provide comfort, routine, and enjoyment. Writing daily vignettes about the previous day creates a light, humorous journal that preserves memories and encourages reflection. Cooking a full country breakfast and savoring a large cup of coffee while watching a favorite old western offers a calm ritual and a break from stressful news. Keeping treats like ice cream on hand embraces simple pleasures and family traditions. Routine tasks such as making the bed, knitting, fishing, and consistent self-care contribute to improved mental health, stronger relationships, and greater daily satisfaction.
