Spend a little bit of time every week evaluating your relationship with your phone. Your phone isn’t evil, but it can quickly steal your attention away from important things if you let it. Define how you want to use it and stick to those boundaries.
IF YOUR BUSINESS WAS A SUPERPOWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Determination.
WHAT IS THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD GIVE TO YOUR YOUNGER SELF?
