It's a new day, and the bad day is in the past.
Think of a funny memory or a good memory.

What makes you feel that way? Do you feel the same way about books?
I have the opinion of taking advantage of knowledge that exists so I don’t have to figure everything out for myself
I think part of life is that every generation, or all youth on average, stands on the shoulders of the people who came before them

Exactly, and the same people tell you you can rest when you are dead. As if rest is a reward....

That newsletters or advice columns are meaningless and act as noise to stuff you should be figuring out yourself.

I have a planner for balancing my work, and balancing my life. I specifically put in cute stickers, use pretty colors, and leave myself notes such as "Dream big!" and "You're worth it!"
I also specifically restrict how much space lists work appointments. This is to remind myself that work is only a part of my day, not my whole life. I don't use a day planner that lists time slots so that work doesn't take it over.
I actually use the planner put out by Sarah's Scribbles. If you google it, you'll find pictures.

Wow this is great! I’m totally with you
Your first and last example in particular stand out to me because those are pieces of advice that sound undeniably safe, but still have a lot of nuance to them
It’s making me wonder if there is any piece of general advice that can be blindly followed.
Thanks for sharing this! 🙌

Front end developer here. I have a dozen gaps of more than a month, some are a year. It’s made no difference in my getting hired. The one time they asked I said I took time off to rest.

It's important to consider the source of advice and how it applies to your specific situation before following it. Here are a few examples of common pieces of advice that may not be applicable or even harmful in certain situations:
- "Follow your passion." This can be problematic because not everyone has a clear passion, and even if they do, it may not be practical or financially feasible to pursue it as a career.
- "Fake it 'til you make it." Pretending to be confident or competent in a situation where you lack experience or qualifications can lead to failure or harm your reputation.
- "Work hard and success will follow." While hard work is an important factor in achieving success, it's not the only one, and success also depends on factors such as luck and opportunities.
- "A penny saved is a penny earned." While saving money is important, it's also important to invest and make your money work for you in order to achieve long-term financial stability.
Advice that may have worked well in the past, or may be effective in some situation, may not be suitable for everyone. It's important to evaluate advice critically and consider how it applies to your unique circumstances.
