I finally removed these things from my life.
And I'm happier & more productive because of it.

Complaining about taxes
Taxes suck. Always have, always will
Itâs the price we pay to live in a functioning society

Being serious all the time
The best advice I heard on this topic:
âYou donât have to be serious to act seriousâ
Smiling, laughing and unserious attitude is a serious life/work unlock

Cutting transactional âfriendsâ
Some friends use you when you're convenient
Real friends are there in the good times and the dark times
Know who your real friends are and giving them your energy

My favorite quote on friendship:
"When someone treats you like an option, help them narrow their choices by removing yourself from the equation. It's that simple"
True.

True.
My POV on retirement:
Retirement means you can retire from chasing money
Retirement means do what you love
You can retire at 25, 35, 45

The need to impress strangers on Instagram
Instagram is often like fast food. Tastes great in the moment, but its bad for you
Use in moderation

Giving up on hobbies
At the first sign of struggle, many of us just say âok, whateverâ on playing piano or learning to become a magician
Itâs easy to give hobbies a back seat
But hobbies are the spice of life
Keep going

âCatastrophisingâ
Constantly imagining the worst case scenario is called catastrophising
Ex:
- What if this meeting goes completely wrong?
So much is out of our control so life is hard to predict
If you avoid the prediction game: youâll be happier

Keeping your ideas to yourself
Thatâs no fun
Sharing ideas = clarity & potential to be remixed
"If I have an apple and you have an apple and we exchange them, we both still have 1 apple
If I have an idea and you also have an idea and we exchange them, we both have 2 ideas."

Talking negatively about others
imagine a scenario where someone is talking bad about you, your creations or your startup.
Thatâll help you visualize the damage your doing a bit more
It never pays to be negative others

Spending money recklessly
It wonât make you happier and it wonât make you more grounded
Spend on what makes you happy
Spend consciously

Times New Roman
Being default is using Times New Roman
Itâs the usual, itâs uninspiring and it isnât fun
Your life & creations suffer from it
Lifeâs too short to use Time News Roman
