What habit stacking combinations (like brushing/flossing teeth in the shower) do you use daily?

I sometimes keep dumbbells next to the coffee maker lol,caffeine for the brain,curls for the biceps before I even check my phone.
Gym and lecture recording/podcasts etc.
If stacking a *bad* habit on top of a good habit can be considered “habit stacking…” My family started a “10k steps a day” challenge a couple months ago, and I told myself I couldn’t be scrolling on TikTok, Reddit, etc. unless I was walking while doing it. I have a treadmill, but I’ll also just pace around the room sometimes.
I call it “step ‘n’ scroll” lol. I can hit my 10k pretty easily while doing it!
Empty dishwasher and put dishes away while dinner is cooking.
Take three makeup brushes into the shower with me every night and clean them – constant rotation of clean brushes with almost no effort required.
Every time I walk from my spare room where my pile of laundry lives intake a handful of clothing items with me to hang up.
brushing then mouth wash then flossing teeth lol
I do my makeup in the car on the way to work, while stopped at terrific lights. It’s a 30 minute drive with enough traffic lights to stop at that I’ve finished doing my makeup by the time I get to work. A few extra minutes to sleep in…
