@likelyjanlukas * shut off anything using electricity which is not necessary - lights, computers, charging plugs. Even plugged-in electric cords. * Shade if you can, especially large windows/sliding glass doors. Afternoon to sunset is strongest, so focus effort on those walls/windows. * house plants such as boston ferns use water to cool their leaves, and can cool the air slightly. Most everything is common sense things you already know, and do, but all I have to offer. 3/3 finis

@Amgine It looks like I've uncovered the same ideas as you shared here, but I DEFINITELY appreciate the reminder! ❤️ I always forget about ice on wrists and ankles, which is hilarious given that my first cross-Canada road trip in a car without AC was made bearable by that exact technique! 😂 The only items you suggest that I actively avoid is the swamp-cooler/misting techniques. I know the physics of how it works but for most of my life this has been a dry climate and I absolutely cannot stand getting wetter than my sweat is already doing! 😱😂 It's great for folks who like it, but for me it feels icky and I honestly don't feel as though it makes me feel cooler (but that could be the ick overriding the other sensations 😂). Thank you again! ❤️
