You have to be curious about the world in which you live. Look things up. Chase Down every reference. Go deeper than anyone else - that’s how you’ll get ahead. - Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon
I challenge myself to remain curious daily. What does that mean? For me, having hobbies and interests like painting, reading, exercise and guitar - skills I develop outside of work to actually help with work. They help reduce stress, improve problem solving skills, allow breaks during the day, and perhaps make me more interesting to clients (you’ll have to ask them).
Remind yourself that if you don’t want to be in a grind, do things daily to get out of it.
