Comment on Ask HN: What is something you wish you were taught at a younger age?

The Trivial: How to properly tie my shoes. Half the time, by chance, I'd be tying them wrong, and they'd come undone.

How people think, and especially the fact that nobody has it figured out. We're all guessing at how to do things. If you think you do have it figured out, you're likely very wrong.

The value of curation. I picked up a lot of hoarding habits along the way that are so destructive, so much waste and loss. I wish someone had taught me about picking and choosing, instead of just collecting more and more stuff.

The last one hits home. Along with habits, I guess it also applies to people and memories.
