I bite my nails. I hate that I do it, it's a pretty gross habit, and I've tried all sorts of tricks to kick it. The best solution I've found is to give my hands something better to do when stress [[link]] or boredom kicks in. So for the last seven years, I've [[link]] kept a fidget toy on my desk (or in my pocket) at all times.

I've tried at least a dozen different toy designs in that time—some super satisfying, others total junk—and think I've figured out a winning combo for "adult" fidget toys. It's gotta be small enough to use with one hand, have a variety of "actions" so it doesn't get boring too fast, and if it has buttons with loads of feedback, that's a huge bonus. There are loads of adult fidget toys on sale during October Prime Day that often go for less than $20. Some are even under $10. Some I've owned before and others look so great that I'm hovering over "add to cart" myself.
