Step 1: get a good pair of fabric scissors Step 2: see if you have tshirts in your closet that you don’t wear much anymore step 3: try cropping them, shortening or taking off the sleeves, making it a tie-front, anything! If they’re out of your rotation anyway you have little to lose and a possible crop top/ tank top/gym shirt/pyjama top to gain
ok this isnt a old shirt this is a crop top I bought from my thrift store job with the express purpose of turning into a muscle tee but i digress!!!! they are fun and a good way to give unloved shirts new life!
anyway I found some tiktok tutorials that I took inspo from when cutting off the sleeves but you do you boo:

I’ve done this every time I’ve found myself between full time jobs and it really makes the whole time better. You have a little money coming in and you can collect material for your future memoir. Some odd jobs from my past: Axe throwing coach
Closet designer
Lunch catering delivery
Balloon bouquet maker
Background extra i found them on big job boards like indeed and also Craigslist (Searching “part time” gets you less garbage results). If you hate it after you start you can just quit! Also if you like pets, signing up for dog walking or petsitting will keep you active and you get to hang out with pets.
I love doing this, it’s wonderfully disorienting. Theres still so much day left afterwards it’s basically a whole new day, like an optical illusion, but of time.
Shopping cart with a bad wheel.
Sock slipping down your shoe.
The day after you burn your tongue when it’s still all sensitive.
An eye twitch.
bad toilet paper (thin, scratchy).
clothing tag that itches.
Really strong static shock that makes you jump.
getting perfume in your mouth.
