You'll grow a lot in the next 10 years. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and make course corrections as you go. Get some rest, drink some water, and focus.

Learning from failure is a pretty common trope. Next time you consider doing something new, think about what you might learn if you fail and add it to your pro/con list.

Quitting something is hard, especially when you've dedicated so much of yourself to it! Take a little time to write down what good that thing did for you because you'll always have that.

If you have a variety of interests and skills, it may be hard to pick a few to turn into a career. Try the experimentation funnel: explore a lot of your interests at once. After a year, experiment with the ones you still love & cut the rest. Then repeat. #productivity

If you're working on too many projects, deep down in your soul you will know it. Free yourself from as many of them as you can and make a bigger impact on the things you truly care about.

When you're learning something and it's not coming to you as easily, or it outright drains you, you might be working against age-old habits, experience, or even trauma.

Freelancer, solopreneur, work-from-home parent... whatever your role, accountability can be challenging. Having a check-in partner or joining a mastermind group is a great way for more minds to consider the problems you're trying to solve without taking up too much time.
