Time is essential.
3 months is a season.
6 months should give you results.
After spending 180 days (half a year) of your life on something (or with someone) you should be checking for results or moving on.
– Pope
Don’t, don’t even try
Do not compare me. That is a trigger for me. Make reference to case studies, Be specific about what the other person did that you'd like me to consider or even emulate. But, Do not compare me with anyone! We all have our peculiarities. - Pope
