Time to Journal and Take Notes
What are your takeaways so far? Everyone should be recording in a journal what they have learnt, and it should be updated monthly.
The pandemic gave people an opportunity to ask themselves, what do I really love, miss and need in my life?
And, how does it feel when you don't have to do something? Therefore, only do things that make you happy; stop doing things not out of a sense of obligation.
Slow down to speed up. That’s where connections happen.
Final Tip
Write down the things you did to get through the toughest times, especially the isolation. Write down the steps you took and if you ever get stuck or face another tough time, go back and read your notes. It will help you get through it.
Who were the key people around you? Your goal is to create an Owners Manual for yourself.
