It’s been warming up these past few days where I am and I’m resisting the urge to turn on the A/C. What are your best tips to beat the summer heat? Any low-energy hacks?

    I currently carry with me a large, handheld foldable fan and I sometimes use an umbrella when I walk so I’m always shaded. I’ve been watching videos about paint that reflects the sun’s heat and wish I could prop some painted panels up outside my room.

    Keep your blinds or curtains closed during the day to let in less light/heat from the sun.

    Yes, it helps a lot to keep the blinds and curtains closed.

    For instant relief, stick your feet in a bucket of cold water while you work :D it's surprisingly effective and gives your coworkers something new to talk about.

    I plan on doing that, but I also have some houseplants in my room that need to be relocated first.
