Rule 45: Slow down, do it right the first time
It takes half as long to do it right the first time than it does to do it again. Slow down, take a breath, and do it right.
This is me working in public. Every January, I share my three words, then add a new rule for life on my birthday in May, and finally reflect on the year every December.
It takes half as long to do it right the first time than it does to do it again. Slow down, take a breath, and do it right.
Never seek to be famous for the attention or seek out attention to be famous. Instead, commit yourself to something meaningful and valuable so if you garner attention or fame, it will be for the right reasons.


Get a therapist. See them regularly. If you don’t like them or they’re not helping, find a new one.


Each generation of your life has pros and cons, ups and downs, joyful moments and hardships…be mindful that you consciously experience them all, because you never get them back.
