FIX PROBLEMS
When you fix problems you can provide value.
People will be willing to listen to you.
Consume content that will help you with this.
Side note: Don’t remember to ignore your mental health.
Fix your mental problems first before you try to help other people

My previous thread went about intermittent fasting and the problems that can co-exist with this as a female.
Somebody asked me something about this topic.
I noticed a gap of knowledge which I could solve. https://twitter.com/SarahThooft/status/1356635636288139267

Create the content on a fixed date without distraction.
For me, that is on Saturday morning.
I look into my collection and schedule all my tweets.
This gives me a head-start to focus on consuming content for the next week.
