The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Notes -
There's an alternate model of Chemex that just has a glass handle, no leather knot involved. My husband, who's enough of a coffee snob that he buys green coffee beans to roast at home, is a great fan.
And speaking of roasting your own beans, it's not too troublesome or expensive to get started - the company we buy from, Sweet Maria's, has instructions for roasting beans in a cheap air popcorn popper - though be warned that home roasting creates a strong burning smell so it's best done outside.
Yeah I've ended up on the Chemex with a glass handle in my research, just not sure if I can go with the so-called 3 cup version (which is max 450 ml, I think) or if I need a bigger one. Most of the time I'll only be brewing for 1-2 persons.
