A short YouTube monologue by Donald Burns on how to reinvent yourself. Burns emphasizes starting with rigorous self-awareness — identifying habits, routines, and mindsets that hold you back — then making a concrete plan to let go of those patterns and adopt new habits and skills.

What do you need to change? What new habits do you need to develop? What skills do you need to learn?
