Fixing my life in 30 days: Day 23

My friend, Mitesh (my fav account to follow and one of the very few people I admire for how they think) tweeted, “What did 2023 teach you?”

I owe him for this issue lol.

I don’t know if these are from 2023 but I quickly wrote some one-liners that I could instantly think of. Or the things I think I have learned lately.

Here:

• Don’t make important decisions when you’re sleep, food, or social-life deprived

• Good ventilation is underrated

• Opportunities never come. Only you create them—directly or indirectly

• Cliches are boring. But they win you battles. examples: wake up early, exercise, eat healthy, use your phone less, meditate, etc

• You can’t be slow as a leader

• You don’t need to disrespect to disagree. Respect and disagreement can coexist

• Saying “this could have been better” is easy. Putting 10% of your opinions into action is fucking hard

• You’re flawed. So is everyone else

• Extremes for views in short-form. Nuances for depth in long-form. Both are crucial to build a content biz

• You never know if the person is on cloud nine or a volcano. Always try to be nice

• Learn to allocate your time and energy to the right people. Not everyone needs your absolute attention

• Those who follow religion without questioning will never truly understand it

• Remember those who stayed when you felt you were not good enough. Keepers

• How you treat your parents gives a glimpse of how you take people for granted, provided you have at least a decent relationship with your parents

• Be okay with both: breaking taboos and swimming the tide

• Your work is not your only identity. At least, it should not be

• Meet new people to realize how little you know

• Do things for the sake of doing things. Everything doesn’t have to have a reason or meaning

• Cringe is important

• Like someone’s work? Support it publically. It’s free

• Charity to tell people you do charity is not charity

• Be a doer today. You can be a thinker any day

• Stop flexing laziness

• When in doubt, sleep or exercise

• Happiness doesn’t necessarily have to make sense

I’ve posted the same on Twitter. Please retweet if you enjoyed reading it: here.
