Some gems that resonate:
"Don't pickle things." = If you have something special, use it now. Not later, now. It's hard, though, to be brought up in the ways of discipline and deferred gratification to let go and actually enjoy things. Really hard, not just sometimes, but most of the time. The work striking the right balance between the two instincts is ever continuing.
"Touch it once." = Just deal with it, don't let it sit. A common piece of advice. Just takes a while for it to sink in and be implemented. Working on it.
"Things don't have to be perfect to be wonderful." = Truth. Just let it go. Good enough is good enough.
"Boyfriends come and boyfriends go, but SAT scores are forever." = Already internalized.
