    • Workout. Doesn’t have to be a lot but be consistent
    • No matter what everyone says, keep on learning.
    • Try to be in contact with your close friends
    • Don’t compare yourself to someone else. There will always be someone better.
    • Develop some hobbies which doesn’t involve a mobile phone or other people
    • Read books. Even two books a year is great.
    • Don’t do drugs or smoke. It’s not worth it.

      Expanding on your first point, be aware of the difference between “workout” and “work out”.

      “Workout” is a noun. “Work out” is a verb. You can tell because you can conjugate the verb without having to split it apart.

      “He works out”, and not “He workouts” or “He worksout”. That’s how you know it needs a space.

      You can tell the one without a space is a noun because you can pluralize it. “Arm workouts for women”.

      As a bonus: “Every day” means “each and every day”. “Everyday” means “typical”, like for clothing.

      You could have “everyday clothes”. But you don’t “work out everyday” – you work out every day.

      It’s funny when someone says “i workout everyday” thinking they wrote three words, yet they made three spelling/grammar mistakes. Even monolingual English speakers make these kinds of mistakes.

        I know the difference instinctively but i think i may have written it wrong in many places. “I’ll add this exercise to my workout” vs “We should work out more”.

        Thanks for the detailed explanation.
