Journal. You have to write in order to learn how to think. Journaling gets you into the habit of writing, spending some time offline and simply thinking about what you’re doing.

When you’re stuck, or figuring out a failure, ask yourself why. Challenge each answer with a ‘why’. Ask yourself  this five times to get at the root cause of an issue.

Always take time to learn. There is always opportunity to grow no matter how good you are. Keep learning new things unrelated to your craft. It’s shocking how often different disciplines help you to grow in your own field.

Break your goals down into the smallest steps possible. Though taking big leaps are sometimes required, consistent incremental progress is more sustainable over the long term. Set the bar so low that you’ll actually do it.
