    2023 Sucked - But Let's Make 2024 Great!

    This is the most low-key motivational video you'll ever see. It won't be super hype-y, but it will hopefully be helpful instead.

    2:35 - if you want to make a change, the battle is never over
    3:46 - improve yourself so that you don't suffer needlessly
    5:26 - pick your gurus and motivators carefully
    8:25 - start with the recipe for failure
    10:03 - just don't do nothing
    14:41 - think of what worked before
    18:29 - if you're not doing the basics already...then do the freakin basics
    22:40 - if you think you missed out or it's too late...relax
    24:41 - setting priorities and picking goals
    25:41 - how to know if you're on track
    27:58 - happiness is the meaningful struggle that makes sense
