- stop worrying about time passing, in the sense of feeling pressure that each minute of your life is meant to be ‘productive’ - by whose standards do you define productivity?
 - journal daily - gain clarity on the present, and your vision for the future
 - take risks, get out of your comfort zone semi-frequently. life feels longer when you diversify your experiences
 - set morning intentions for how you want your day to go
 - end the week by asking “what felt most like me?” identify patterns, and learn
- consciously develop and understand your personal brand
 
 - regularly check in with yourself - for everything that you do, ask why? reevaluate
 - revisit old photos
 - revisit media that shaped you
 
next: motivation
