Excellent Advice for Living
~presented as a list of 406 pieces of advices rather than in paragraphs.
Here are a few of my favorites:
• Never hesitate to invest in yourself—to pay for a class, a course, a new skill. These modest expenditures pay outsized dividends.
• When you find yourself procrastinating, don’t resist. Instead lean into it. Procrastinate 100%. Try to do absolutely nothing for 5 minutes. Make it your job. You’ll fail. After 5 minutes, you’ll be ready and eager to work.
• Think in terms of decades, and act in terms of days.
