Key takeaways:
- You don’t want struggle to turn into suffering. Bringing struggles into light allows you to set goals and create habits to avoid them in the future.
- If you learn to ask great questions, you get great answers. By answering a question with a statement, you’re just ensuring that you will likely get that question again.
- Align your schedule with your energy - 9am energy and 4pm energy is completely different. Try to be proactive in the mornings when your energy is high, and reactive in the evenings when your energy is more depleted.
