YAYYYY ITS MY BIRTHDAYYYY 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

I apologize to my younger self for all the moments I put her in harms way by dismissing the red flags shown by toxic people, engaging in self-destructing habits out of complacency, allowing disrespect from others, seeking out validation in all the wrong places and with the wrong crowds. I will do everything to ensure that I'm taken care off and I will never gaslight myself out of uncomfortable truths and situations, I will always look out for my best interests without feeling guilt or remorse. I owe it to myself to always be there for me because I'm the only reliable person I will ever have in my life.

Essentialism, Greg McKeown

Be highly selective. Don’t attend meetings when you have nothing to contribute, don’t read newsletters if you already know or if it doesn’t really matter to you. Stop moving an inch forward in a million different directions and start gaining momentum in getting one major thing done.

Pursue less but better in a disciplined way

Warren Buffet owes 90% of his wealth to just 10 investments

On trade offs: don’t ask ‘what do I want to give up?’ ask ‘what do I want to go big on?’

Less, but better : if trying to start a journaling habit, start by always writing less than you want to. Usually, on the first day, you’ll write many pages, and then you’ll quickly start to dreading having to write so much. Until you’ve made journaling a habit, write very little.

Your strategy can’t be “pretty clear”. Anyone who wears glasses knows there is a difference between “pretty clear” and “really clear”.

Learn the art of the slow yes and the quick no

Beware the sunk cost bias: continuing something we would otherwise move on from, simply because we have already invested time or money in it. It’s a vicious cycle

To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, subtract things everyday. - Lao Tzu

Cues are essential in making routines smoother: if you charge your phone each night and you’d like to start journaling, put your journal right by your charger

Tackle your routines one by one: to get big results, we must start small

Eat mindfully. Live in the moment

Check in often to ensure meaningful progress
