4 Key Things I learned in 2024!
And not all of them art Art Related.
Hello everyone! Hope you all having a good 2025 so far!
2024 went by too quickly, and was probably one of the most difficult and tedious years that I’ve ever experienced.
But amidst all that chaos, here are 4 key things I learnt last year. Maybe there’s someone among you who really needs to know these:
1- 💤 Sleep more; especially if you've been avoiding sleep either for work or for movies. You'll be able to do more when your energies are properly replenished.
Sometimes when you’re too obsessed with work, or bombarded with ideas, or have fears that just seem to kick in exactly at midnight, it’s difficult to sleep. But, if you can overcome that, set a good sleeping habit and get your 8 hours of sleep, you’ll have a lot more energy and clarity of thought.
2- 🤝 Trust others' abilities, and ignore honest mistakes. Your mind will be a much better place after that.
3- 🪑 Sit straight, elevate your laptop screen to your eye level, and invest in a decent chair if you're gonna be sitting long hours! Thank me later! I experienced the worst back pain in 2024 and had to work on some ergonomics.
4- 🐎 Run longer, not faster. It's important to be able to do something consistently for a longer period of time instead of going too fast only to end up burning out soon. Or you could call it ‘slow and steady wins the race’ if you like the turtle and the rabbit context a lot better.
Have a great 2025!
