5. It’s bloody
confusing
My mistakes:
Expecting it to get easier
Expecting to get ‘better’ at it
Saying ‘yes’ to things that don’t matter
Not focusing on things that do matter
Focusing too much on ‘doing’
Working too hard for too long
@WarrenOF
6. Look after yourself
you idiot
My solutions:
Enjoy the journey
Accept that being ‘good enough’ is fine
Actively refuse giving time away
Spend time thinking about what to do
Spend time with mentors
Take time off to get better
my job
on’t matter
matter

Tomorrow is always a new kind of difficult
You can’t say ‘no’ to any problem
You’re building and learning as you go
You have to focus on doing things that matter
You can’t just work hard, you have to work smart
