ADVICE

Build Your Social Foundation First

  • Prioritize building and maintaining a social network before over-analyzing your issues.
  • Spend daily time with friends and join multiple social groups to anchor your reality and test beliefs.
ADVICE

Limit Planning, Force Action

  • Stop over-organizing as avoidance; limit planning time and force action.
  • Reduce planning to simple prompts like four Post-it notes and prioritize real interactions.
INSIGHT

Experience Trumps Overthinking

  • Thought alone can't fix social and emotional problems without validated real-world feedback.
  • Interacting with people gives you mental models and experience you can't get from organizing or reading.
