10 things that I've seen have the highest ROI:
Connect 2 people together
Bringing two like-minded people together is the best thing you can do for your network.
If they're truly compatible (in business, friendships, or love), they'll remember you forever.
Play the positive-sum game.
Be kind (go the extra mile)
Going the extra mile for someone is never forgotten:
It often takes some more time or a little more effort but completely makes someone's day.
And then they pass the energy on to someone else. You've created a chain reaction.
Arrive 5 minutes early to zoom meetings
It's a small yet effective gesture. It shows that you are punctual.
If you're attending a class,
It's one of the best ways to stand out and be remembered (trust me — I say this as a teacher and student).
Write online
Publishing your thoughts online is the best way to find like-minded people.
I love this quote from @mkobach:
"Twitter lets you be a lighthouse for like-minded people"
Take a one-week break
It's easy to get stuck in the race:
You're doing a ton of things. But nothing progresses you towards your goals.
When you feel like you're stuck in a race,
Take a step back and do something different. Take a break.
Go on walks
Plus points if you don't look at your phone...
Walks are one of the best way to detach yourself from work and immerse yourself in the environment.
Teaching
Surprisingly, a lot of my happiness comes from teaching nowadays.
Helping other people in whatever way possible is my favorite way to energize myself.
Plus point: you also get better at your craft when you teach.
It's a win-win.
Be impatient with actions
Inspiration diminishes quickly over time.
If you wait for too long, you won't be motivated enough to execute.
Being impatient with actions helps gain initial traction which will inspire you further:

Be patient with results
Most things in live compound.
The fruits are not seen until 2, 5, or 10 years into something.
But most people will quit before the major returns are on their way.
Keep at it.
Hope you learnt something new here:
I definitely didn’t know that teaching would bring me so much happiness.
Anyway, definitely try a couple of these things out.
