You get the hard stuff done.
The “easy” stuff? Not so much.
You’re (mostly) kicking ass at your dream job,
but you haven’t been to the dentist since 2019
You’ve published a dozen articles,
yet renewing your driver’s license is somehow impossible
You built a successful business from scratch,
but you can’t go to bed on time
You’re winning awards for your teaching,
but your book project has been “almost done” for over a year
Retirement savings?
What retirement savings?
You said yes to everything,
and, well, um, in hindsight maybe that wasn’t the best idea
You can do literal rocket science,
but you can’t come up with a morning routine
You are constantly coming up with new brilliant ideas,
but the projects you’ve already started are gathering dust
Your research is revolutionary,
but your inbox is the stuff of nightmares
You’re working hard,
but it feels like you’re not getting anything done
You’ve downloaded three different budgeting apps,
but your financial “plan” is really just crossed fingers and a lot of hope
The problem isn't that you "lack discipline" or "just need to try harder."
It's that traditional productivity strategies weren't built for your brain.
Good news: there are ways to get things done that don’t rely on a mix of last-minute adrenaline and existential dread.
