Too many people are glued to busyness - it’s why meditation is also a struggle when everyone starts out.
The addiction of being “in motion” is destructive and is the reason people wake up one day and realize they are miserable in their work, marriage, friendships, etc.

I think this is why intersectional studies are really important during education. We need to learn how to think and ask the right questions.
For example, instead of figuring out how to build X super quickly, maybe we should ask if X should be built in the first place.

It sounds dumb, but building my habits around what I want my identity to be is a game changer.
For example, every morning, I jump out of bed and immediately say, “I am disciplined. I am a morning person.” It’s what helped me wake up @ 4:30am every day during college 🤯

Man, sometimes I’m just blown away by the kindness of people. The people who are often most generous and thoughtful are the ones who are least conspicuous about it.

Be nice to people regardless of how you perceive their status.
People never forget if you were only nice to them when they "became worthy"
...or, if you were nice to them when they were still a "nobody."
Kindness is free and an insanely valuable currency. Spend it generously.

I’ve talked with my team a lot about career growth. My advice:
-Be proactive with creating high-value-adds for the company (documentation, big events)
-Build in public/be unafraid of sharing what you’re working on
-Be a self starter: create opportunity
What are your tips?

How to build great relationships with contractors/freelancers:
1. Talk to them like they're business owners — because they are.
2. Pay them well for their time.
3. Don't nickel and dime them on their contracts.
Such simple steps with insane upside, but tragically underutilized.
