60: Get Ahead Of 99% Of People This Year By Doing Less (Archive)

If you're anything like me, you've likely found yourself ensnared in the hustle and bustle culture that has become pervasive in today's society. Last year, the incessant demands and overwhelming to-do lists may have led to a stressful experience, perhaps resulting in burnout and the temptation to abandon everything.

I've been there, and I believe there's a more fulfilling way to live than perpetually spinning on the hamster wheel of endless tasks.

This year, I've made conscious changes to my approach, and I urge you to consider doing the same. I am confident that by the end of this year, you can achieve more and find greater satisfaction in your life.

My decision is clear – instead of juggling multiple projects, I've committed to focusing solely on this newsletter. My goal is to share knowledge and life experiences to help as many people as possible.

While the number of individuals I can assist is uncertain, one thing is definite: if I can garner $784 per month through your support via donations, I will bid farewell to my part-time job and dedicate more time to this newsletter while continuing my college journey.
