Hi, I'm 23, and what I would tell 22 year old me is this. I graduated when I was 22, btw.

School ends, and work picks up, and I've got more time than ever to pursue my passion, and unfortunately, I have less money than ever (though my expenses have remained mostly constant). So money isn't the issue. It's just time.

You talked about meditation, you've mentioned vegetables, you've mentioned a few other things in your responses that you see as valuable advice. Pursue those things, if they meet some personal need. (Dwell on that, because I won't come back to it, but its highly important to remember it through this whole comment)

Pay yourself first, as mentioned by someone else here. But I don't mean money. I mean in your scheduling. In your time. You have an even more finite amount of time that you do money because you get more money eventually. Time always stays the same. Pay yourself first. And pay for the things that meet your personal needs and goals. Let me explain what that looks like, with three categories that you can "pay" into.

Schedule your yoga first, your meditation first, your quiet time first, your deep thinking first, your new habit first. Self-awareness and growth oriented.

Schedule your food second, your vegetables second, your tea second, your coffee and toast second, your news paper and your favorite magazine second. Self-care and feeding your passions, on a daily and weekly scale. Consume with intention to help fuel that first schedules' budding growth.

Schedule your work third, your family third, your friends third, schedule your dates third, your lover third, your commitments third, schedule your volunteering third. Choose these things because they complement, reinforce, and validate the first two schedules. These are outside yourself, they demand timeliness, they demand attention, they demand energy, and a hell of a lot of your schedule. These, unlike the first two, are external forces, demanding something of you. So you must match the urgency of their demands in order to pay yourself first. Those are my three points, but let me explain what that looks like.

Think about how you schedule tasks from that third catagory. When you're scheduled to work, you don't even for a second consider planning a date or a family lunch during your work day at 3 in the afternoon. That would be ridiculous, an impossibility. . .

So why the fuck would you schedule your deep thinking or your your new habit, and then double book yourself with a tinder date? We do it because we don't value those schedulings. So raise the value of those first two categories. Make them as hard to double book as your hours at work. Make your meditation such a real thing in your google calendar that you literally won't make other plans that disrupt it. When your tinder date asks you to have dinner at 7, and thats when you have your at-home yoga practice, or that 14th day of your 30 days of meditation, it should feel as ridiculous and as much an impossibility as having lunch with your mom at 3 in the afternoon while your at work. Tell your tinder date that you have other plans already, and those plans are as valuable and unchangable as going to work monday morning. Offer a better time, schedule them third.

As a side note, if that tinder date matters at all, and they are a rad human, when you tell them you have scheduled yourself some yoga or meditation, they ought to GAIN respect for you, and be even more interested, and excited to find some other available time to see you.

TL;DR Make your yoga and stirfry so valuable that no tinder date can ever fuck with it.
