"This year is make or break for me⌛"

"This year is make or break for me⌛"

I remember feeling this way every year in my 20s.

This year is when I had to do it.

Else I won't be able to.

The story is repeated every year!

Truth is - in an 80yr life no one year has the power to impact your life unless you allow it to.

The 20s is quite a weird decade.

The 20s is quite a weird decade.

We are surrounded by the most people we have ever been surrounded by.

And yet constantly feel alone.

And at 42 I realize that a large part of the reason is these self-imposed beliefs we live our 20s by.

A set of rules that we feel are fixed.

They are not.

This world...

"Health and sleep can wait😴"

We pull out all-nighters. Sleep odd hours.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
