- Be honest about the quality of the work you are doing
- Build structures that can withstand inevitable occasional breakdowns in character
- Ask for feedback from people you respect; don't show your work to someone you know will just default to complimenting you. Your ego does not need to be fuelled by that.
- Don't spread yourself thin. Pick what interests you rationally and pursue it with passion.
- Avoid burnout at all costs, and tend to yourself frequently so that a lack of energy does not cause overvaluing
- If the people you spend time with do not challenge you and inspire you, consider if the relationship is worth it
- Do not undervalue work that helps others. It is worth more than any kind of work you can do.
