How to live a miserable life in 5 easy steps:

1. Don’t decide. Spend tons of time planning and thinking, very little doing.
2. Don’t set goals. And certainly don’t track progress (or lack thereof).
3. Switch from thing to thing every quarter or year. Mastery and compounding is for suckers. Starting from scratch will be easier.
4. Don’t have a best friend. Tons of acquaintances will suffice! Loving a buddy like family and caring for them is gay!
5. Buy individual stocks. Index funds are dumb. You’re smarter than 90% of hedge funds with billions in budget and thousands in headcount. Your picks will help you sleep easy.
