Jag tänkte skriva något smart om mina nyårslöften men eftersom de inte är färdigformulerade så bjuder jag på en viktig lösning på många problem som man kan dras med: ge upp.

• Give up trying to be cool.
• Give up your golden handcuffs.
• Give up wanting to be a famous musician, artist, architect, thinker, writer, whatever-it-is. Maybe it’s smarter to make your purpose to have an impact, instead.
• Give up wanting to be different for the sake of being unique.
• Give up trying to be perfect.
• Give up keeping relationships with people you don’t really like.
• Give up trying to be the center of attention.
• Give up trying to be important. (Focusing on community is usually more fulfilling.)
• Give up achieving a lot of ego-driven goals.
• Give up trying to be super-focused. Sometimes the most compelling ideas come from the most messy, unexpected sources.
• Give up trying to be indie.
• Give up trying to popular.
• Give up caring about owning a lot of cool things, which keep you distracted from acknowledging that you don’t like what you’re doing with your life.

Give up trying to have a perfectly organized workspace and a zero inbox.
