The best advice I ever received was: Don't try to do too many things at once. Pick 1-2 things to focus on and do them really well. Multi-tasking is a myth - your brain can only effectively focus on one complex task at a time. Jumping between multiple projects prevents you from getting into deep focus and doing your best, most creative work on any of them. Simplify, prioritize, and go deep on what matters most.

A friend said, stop waiting for perfect conditions. Start now with what you have. Itās helped me stop overthinking and just take action.
I read in a book, You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. It made me really mindful of the company I keep.
The best advice I ever got was from my dad: Never make a permanent decision based on a temporary emotion. Really helps avoid impulsive choices you'll regret later! Curious what gems others have gotten... š§

Don't be hasty.
"Don't take anything personally" - this advice from Don Miguel Ruiz's book The Four Agreements really stuck with me. Most things people say or do are about them, not you. It's a powerful shift in perspective that reduces unnecessary mental suffering.
