"18 Lessons We Learned in 2018" [Creator's Block Ep. 97]

The end of the year always tends to be a time for some self reflection; a time when we look at what we’ve accomplished or learned over the last year.

So, Justine and I thought it would be a good idea to make a list of the 18 lessons we learned in 2018!

Join us for our final episode of the year as we count down the hard (and not so hard) lessons we've learned through the last 525,600 minutes.

6. Close down apps to help yourself focus.
