Loved this article. Stepping away from those time-gobbling black holes, otherwise known as social media and the news, is a goliath challenge and although I realise I will only start feeling like I am moving forward again once I step away from them, boy is it hard! But yes, time to improve that information diet and take action where appropriate.

As with every addictive substance, kicking social media to the curb is a herculean feat. But totally possible. You won't kick yourself if you succeed!

One tip we've found helpful is to fill your time pursuing goals that will bring you joy and make you proud on your death bed. Regularly run the mental exercise of living life backwards.

Great points!

Online portfolio investing (using fake money) is similar to sex in that you can practice and learn on your own all you want, but certain things you just need to experience firsthand.

Great article! People need to be accepting of advice/wisdom before it has a chance to take hold. I can jump my kids way ahead by just sharing what I’ve learned, but they need to ask me. Whenever I volunteer it, it won’t work.
