Notes to Self

Things I'd like to make sure I don't forget.

  1. Frustration is natural, endure discomfort, it is inevitable and manageable.
  2. Everything has a trade-off. The key is being intentional about it and understanding the risks you're choosing.
  3. We move forward by doing. Don't freeze. Avoid overthinking. Use intuition — and validate it.
  4. Don't take things so seriously.
  5. Feel connection and excitement with your work — chase that feeling.
  6. When the body wanders, the mind follows — walks invite creativity.
  7. Motivation appears while doing, not before.
  8. Step away — time and distance often finish the thought.
  9. Craft with care and authenticity.
