5 Things I Wish I Knew In My 20s
About this video
Sacawa shares five lessons he wishes he had known in his 20s: building a versatile wardrobe with intention rather than impulse purchases, establishing a consistent skincare routine early, prioritizing rest and avoiding burnout, understanding the deeper purpose behind your pursuits, and taking calculated risks with a plan in place.
Key takeaways
- Sacawa argues that building a wardrobe requires starting with basics, making a plan and budget, then gradually adding pieces that work together—rather than buying individual items that don’t coordinate
- Sacawa emphasizes that consistent skincare in your 20s prevents visible aging later and recommends establishing a simple routine with clear instructions on when and how to use products
- Sacawa stresses the importance of building rest and relaxation into your schedule to avoid burnout, which can make you resent the work you love
- Sacawa recommends digging deeper into understanding the ‘why’ behind your pursuits, as connecting to your larger purpose provides grounding and transformation
- Sacawa advises taking risks but doing so strategically—weigh factors and create a plan forward before making major decisions rather than jumping in blindly
