Here’s my one unsolicited advice for the day, keep a pack of those little flossers in your car, at your desk, or somewhere else you are commonly. Then, use those after lunch daily, or while on a meeting.

I’ve done this and my dentist has noticed!

I hate floss, and while I dislike the little flosser picks less, they still annoy me too, but I have now discovered they sell large (8 inch long or so, similar to a toothbrush) sticks with a flosser head (replacable, extremely cheap) on them.

I love them and they've helped me floss more often! I can just get through it so quickly and it doesn't feel like a chore. Just great manueverability that lets you fly through it rather than keep figuring out how to reposition.

If you have a hard time getting yourself to floss daily, try them.

(I won't mention a specific brand name because that rankles my anticonsumerism, but, you can easily find it at the drugstore)

It took me a minute to connect this with "oh right, everyone's all on permanent wfh now".

Even though I'm also wfh 4 days out of 5.

This. This is the one. I have those little flossies in an opaque jar on my coffee table and invariably, every night after dinner, I have flossed. Make it easy to do and you might do it more often.
