☆ I cofounded a billion-dollar company and left it behind to teach high school. Teaching was way harder but more rewarding than working in tech.

In 2020 he left to teach computer programming at his hometown's high school. In 2020, a year before the company I cofounded would be valued at $1 billion, I returned home to Cesis in Latvia to start my new job as a programming teacher at the local school. I realized how tough teaching isThe work of preparing for classes was all on me. My company and I found a suitable replacement candidate and agreed with the school to pay two-thirds of his salary. I didn't know the kids, they didn't know me, and we didn't know what to expect from each other.

☆ I quit a stressful marketing job that was giving me insomnia and took a warehouse job. I realized other people's opinions don't matter.

Dainis Gzibovskis, 32, left his exhausting marketing job to work in a warehouse. I was the head of marketing of one of the country's largest supplement-and-vitamin suppliers, Pro Supply. Three months later, I left Pro Supply and my team of 10 that I had built from scratch to become an order picker at the local grocery store. Others felt sorry for me, assuming Pro Supply had fired me and the warehousing job was the only one I could get. I'm certain that I'll be able to return when I'm ready to go back to marketing again.
☆ I tried this TikTok trend to solve my bad procrastination habit. I can't believe it worked.

She found a TikTok that urged people to sit in an empty chair whenever they procrastinated. She tried this advice with her colleagues and said it worked surprisingly well. I call it the "Lone Chair" productivity hack. I informed my colleagues that everyone could use the chair if they felt uninspired and started to procrastinate. Having tried other productivity hacks, I was surprised that during the week I tried this experiment, my productivity increased by 17.6% while the time spent procrastinating decreased by 36% from the previous week.
