20 ways to be an adult


  1. Put your phone down when you talk to people.
  2. Stop complaining. Kids complain. Adults problem solve.
  3. Stop talking about people behind their back, this isn't high school.
  4. Think before you speak and they'll be more likely to listen.
  5. Have civil conversations. Especially when you disagree.
  6. Care more about people than proving your point.
  7. Admit that you just might be on the wrong side of the issue.
  8. Plan your day before it starts.
  9. Be thankful for the small things.
  10. Get up early.
  11. Cut your fingernails. Biting them doesn't count.
  12. Read at least one book a year.
  13. Make it home for family dinner.
  14. Build something bigger than yourself.
  15. Do things that matter.
  16. Don't follow the crowd just so you can fit in.
  17. Take a walk by yourself with no phone.
  18. Also take a walk with a friend... and no phones.
  19. Become a better listener.
  20. Control what you can control.
Now if I could figure out how to do at least half of these on regular basis, I'd be doing okay. 😀
