• Online I see people committing 'social media suicide' all the time by one of two ways. Firstly by responding to all criticism, meaning you're never going to find time to complete important milestones of your own, and by responding to things that don't warrant a response.

• The only thing I think about is doing something where I'm the only person making all the decisions - I think that would be fun to do, just to get it out of my system.
