Learn to enjoy your own company.
Travel alone.
Take walks alone.
Go to cafes alone.
Learn to be happy alone so you don’t waste your life chasing validation from others.
7 habits that’ll get you ahead of 95% of people in their 20s:
Learn to enjoy your own company.
Travel alone.
Take walks alone.
Go to cafes alone.
Learn to be happy alone so you don’t waste your life chasing validation from others.
Every day, your dopamine is being drained.
• Phones
• Social media
• Hyper-palatable foods
This causes you to hop from stimulus to stimulus.
Over time, you become like 90% of people…
Unable to focus for more than 5 minutes.
Pick 1 habit:
• Writing
• Reading
• Meditation
Anything with no immediate reward.
Practice it for 5 minutes and up the time every session.
Over a period of week/months, you’ll develop laser-like focus.
Writing is focused thinking.
It forces you to develop 1 idea at a time.
Just like your body can’t build muscle without exertion, your mind can’t build understanding without exertion.
Block out 1 hour a day - no notifications, no people - and write.
Questioning conditions you to look for answers:
• Who can help the most?
• What can be done better?
• How can it be done faster?
Asking questions will open loops in your brain and force it to find answers.
Your risk to reward ratio will never be better than in your 20s.
You can fuck up for 10 years straight and still be okay in your 30s.
Your downside is limited to 0 but your upside is limitless.
If you have low risk:
• No kids
• Few liabilities
• Zero dependants
You can take “high” risks with:
• Business
• Investments
• Opportunities
Chase your “unrealistic” goals.
Relationships shouldn’t be transactional.
Make friends with ambitious people and make it a habit to give value with 0 expectations.
This results in 10x returns.
Goodwill compounds.
“Yes” to one opportunity is “no” to another.
Your focus is your most powerful currency and your time is your most important asset.
Save it for what will move the needle the most.
Say no to everything else.
1. Solitude
2. Delaying gratification
3. Writing
4. Questioning
5. Taking tactical risks
6. Giving without expectations
7. Saying “no”
Give the 1st tweet a retweet to help others in their 20s.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇
It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha
I've read it so you needn't!
Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.
The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.
Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
