twenties

*there's never going to be an age where you feel like you know enough in order to 'adult' enough.*

1.  *1. **expect doubts.*** allow the acknowledgement to make the process lighter.

2.  *2\. **follow the fun!***  if you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.

3.  *3. **every piece has to be an autobiography.*** from imagery that means something to you to feeling the emotions of your characters.

4.  *4\. **tell your truth!*** be vulnerable. willingness to not need to know how it's gonna play out.

5.  *5\. **listen to the work.*** create what is asking to be born. create what you wish already existed.

Some people will choose the right fig the first time, and that is great. But odds are, the first fig you pick won’t be the best one for you. That’s ok—as long as you do something about it.

1.  **RESULTS**. Analyze external (numbers) and internal (feelings) data. Then decide what you're next step is.

**REFLECT**:

-   what gives you energy? What drains your energy?
-   the conversations you enjoy having?
-   the projects you like/disklike working on? why?
-   think about your emotions, your energy, your executive function.
-   understand yourself better and your relationship with work.
