Distraction seems to have been the theme of my life the past few weeks. Living in the modern age, it's becoming incredibly difficult to differentiate between what's *actually* important in life and what's simply a distraction.

Having a perfect work-life balance is impossible. After all, how do you define it? I now use this chart to to rank myself from 1-10 in each categrory. All 10s is impossible. You really have to think about your focus area from time to time.

Lagom, a Swedish word meaning 'just the right amount. not too much, and not too little'. Super impactful for finding a balance in my career and life.

I feel like I wake up every day with endless questions in my head. And then the rest of the day goes into figuring out the answers. Curiosity never stops. But it does sometimes keep me up at night 😄 Ever had the same experience? 👇🏼

I remember when I was a little kid, I used to tinker with gadgets, record players, and old time computers all the time.🖥️ Most recently, I got to ride in a fully driverless car and I was blown away!🤯 Grateful to be in the world of technology and surrounding myself with it 😍

I found out one of my mentees still has the written card I wrote him when he joined our company. He told me: he reads the card during the down days. Hearing this made my day. Written words of appreciation are underrated: the time & effort really shine thru in the digital age

🙄Call me old school but i love journaling on paper with ink on a notebook. -> Why? 1. There are no ads 2. There's no pop up notifications 3. There are essentially no distractions unless you're sitting next to a digital device

When I started my career, I felt super lost. As the oldest child of an immigrant family, I had little guidance on what path to take. My goal is to share things that helped me excel in my life, career, and finance. By no means have I figured it out; I'm here to learn too :)

A full breakdown how I went from an idea to a published book!!! If you're an aspiring author, I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions. Happy to help you get started on this journey.
