i know it sounds cliche; but i just turned forty and if i had to distill every thing i’ve ever learned into one piece of advice it’s the idea of “no zero days” daily incremental progress is life changing. it could be a fitness goal, work goal, interest in a new hobby. don’t let the day pass without some progress. even if it’s 1 push-up at 11:59. that’s progress. the time will pass anyway.

There is a social phenomenon called the “liking gap” where there tends to be a discrepancy between how much a person thinks another person likes them and that other person’s actual opinion of them.

Studies have found that people tend to *underestimate* how much people like them and want to spend time with them.

You never feel like a grown up. You mostly just fake it and assume everyone else are actual adults. My data is only valid from ages 0-46 years of age.

Yep 44 here and I don’t feel like an adult. I always get nervous to meet my kids friends parents cause I figure they are real adults and they’ll be onto me.
