I find and note my limits. I eliminate choice. I write everything down. I keep in touch with my mentors and mentees. I listen to a song on repeat to help me focus. I remind myself as much as I can about what I value and what I know I’m good at to combat negative self-talk. Now I’m supposed to say here that as I reflect on my life, my set of rules and brain hacks have been and will continue to be critical to my success, but that is an oversimplification. The truth is, I’m still learning.
