Say "yes" more, try more things, try things at least 3 times before giving up.

Also, I had so many ideas that I didn't get around to trying until my 30s, and it was mostly because instead of just going for it, I would share them with others first, and get talked out of it for various fear-related reasons.

I would tell more people more things about what I've already done, and fewer people fewer things that I haven't done yet but am planning, unless they themselves were good at those things or involved in my plans.

Were these ideas around tech related projects or other things?

Off the top of my head:

Minimizing my money requirements and living minimally.

Getting a car I can sleep in comfortably and doing that.

Less time professional work, more on personal projects.

Intimacy with multiple people people long-term.

De-compartmentalizing my relationships.

Un-separating beliefs, passion, art, work, love.

Living outdoors more.

Opting out of things I don't want to be supporting.

Spending more time socializing, talking with people.
