A good question to ask yourself: a year from now, what will you regret about something you’re doing today? If the answer is clear, stop doing it today.

Time is your most limited resource. Don’t invest it in things you already suspect are dead ends. Let go of obligations that don’t align with what you want to become.

Use that energy for things that will still matter a year from now - projects, skills, relationships, habits, goals.
