<aside> 🚢 This is the Biggest Lessons Learned section of The Dickie’s Digest Best Of 2024 Curation.

I originally wanted to create a list of my personal favorite things of 2024—books, podcasts, purchases, habits, lessons, places I visited, etc.

But I thought it would be more fun (and valuable) instead to curate the best recommendations of a wide variety of people, rather than just me.

So below you’ll find links to 50 small lessons learned after polling roughly 408,000 people on X.

If you enjoyed these, check out some of the links to the right to share them with a friend or with your audience. And if you have recommendations that I should add, DM me on Twitter and I’ll add it to the list!
