How would you Optimize your Life if you Woke up Back at 14, Knowing Everything you Knew Today?

I.e how could you better reach and change your current goals, network, learn, pick/avoid college, get a job/start a company etc. etc.

Would you start paraphrasing/rewriting interesting ideas, academic papers etc. asap? Post about future events to gain a forecaster reputation? Avoid some mistake with your first love? Start selling candy in school, then drop out at 16 to work at McDonald to invest in real estate, short the 2008 market, then invest in bitcoin? Then what?

What would your telos be?


Let's keep any boring gotchas out of the way:

1) A wizard did it, you can trust the dates of big events, time the 2008 crash (as accurately as you know the exact dates right now)

2) Everyone and everything else are the same at the start. You can avoid people who betrayed you the first time around, but as you influence your social circles, things will start changing. (Presumably not impacting major events)
