Things that won't take care of themselves.

Your career. Your physical and mental health. Your relationships. Your community and connections. Your learning and growth.

Unless we build a system, unless we put ourselves on the hook, unless we start finding incremental actions that help us grow, we would find ourselves at a distressing level for any of these.

Each of these can be broken down into actions and habits that if we consistently ship can help us take care of them.

• Career: consistent prospecting, conversations, portfolio development, skill development.
• Health: physical activity, mindful eating, nature, social connections, meditation, sleep.
• Relationships: meaningful conversations, small acts of kindness, making people feel seen and heard.
• Community and connections: reaching out, initiating conversations, attending community events, organising community events.
• Learning and growth: listening to audiobooks and podcasts, reading, doing workshops & courses, joining a mastermind or study group.

Yes, we can work on fixing the system when crisis hits. But, it's way more effective to design and build a lifestyle that avoids crisis in the first place.

We don't need to fix everything in one go. But we need to start somewhere.
