Summary: Stella Garber shares some valuable advice she received from Coco Meers about different seasons in life. She explains that there are times when one should be focused on work, education, family, or creative pursuits, and it’s important to prioritize what is most important in the present moment. Stella applies this framework to her own life, recognizing that her current season is dedicated to building a startup and she may not have time for other activities. She also finds this perspective helpful in managing commitments in family life, knowing that certain phases are temporary and will pass. Stella expresses her gratitude to Coco for this mental model.
“In life you have different seasons. There are seasons where you’re heads down on work, and there are seasons where you focus on education. There are seasons that are more intense from a family perspective, and seasons where you can have more creative pursuits. If you think of your life in that way, you don’t fixate on all the things you may be missing, rather what’s most important right now.” (View Highlight)
