Ever notice how a new habit feels great for a week, then suddenly turns into an impossible grind? We dig into the 2 hidden reasons change collapses, and show how to flip both. Using intermittent fasting as a working example, we unpack what’s really happening in your brain when routines shift: the nervous system flags big change as threat, stress hormones surge, and your mind rushes to restore safety by pushing you back to old patterns. That’s not failure; it’s biology ...
The ground keeps shifting, but your core doesn’t have to. We dive into the art of evolving your identity without feeling lost, using one deceptively simple question to turn uncertainty into clarity. When we anchor to purpose and let the packaging change, we gain freedom to pivot, experiment, and still feel like ourselves. We start by dismantling the end of history illusion, that sneaky belief that who we are today is who we’ll be forever. You’...
Forgetfulness isn’t a character flaw - it’s a design problem. When your mind is crammed with small reminders, you burn the fuel needed for creativity, focus, and complex thinking. We walk through a simple, 3-step blueprint to make good habits effortless and free up your best mental energy. The key is treating habits like brain software: write a clean script and it runs without fail. Ready to build habits that don’t fail and reclaim your focus for high-impact work?

Overwhelm doesn’t come from having no options. It comes from having too many options, and feeling like the “right” one is always out of reach. Today we open up a grounded way to choose when the stakes are high and the clock is ticking, using a 4-lens framework that cuts through noise and surfaces what actually matters for the life you have right now. With that foundation in place, we walk through the 4 lenses: Values, Joy, Success, and Impact, borrowed from Decisions ...
Ever notice how a choice can look perfect on paper yet feel wrong in your gut? Or do you ever wake up with this thought, "What was I thinking?" We unpack why that happens and how to fix it by pairing clear analysis with the kind of steady feeling that signals identity and values. Instead of chasing quick relief and regretting it later, we walk through a simple routine that turns impulse into alignment and helps your future self breathe easier. You’ll learn a 3-step in...
Food advice that finally meets real life and your future. We break down the new U.S. Dietary Guidelines for 2025 and translate them into clear, doable steps you can apply today, whether you’re an athlete, a busy parent, or just trying to feel better and think sharper. From higher protein targets to gut-friendly eating, we explore what matters, what to skip, and how to turn policy into a plate you can repeat. We start with personalization, calories, and hydration. Then we dig into the biggest...
Ever feel like you’re doing more and moving slower?! We dig into meaningful productivity and share three practical frameworks to help you ship the work that matters without burning out or drowning in “work about work.” First, we reframe productivity around outcomes, not activity. Taking on too many projects creates coordination overhead, constant context switching, and slower delivery. We explain how a simple limit on simultaneous projects, paired with a ...
Your sharpest ideas can still fool you into doing the wrong thing. Today we unpack why smart, driven people overtrust their thoughts, and how a simple 3-question filter turns hunches into high-quality decisions. Instead of chasing certainty, we practice decision hygiene: use evidence, test small, and weigh real outcomes before you go all in. We start with the cognitive traps that quietly steer choices: availability bias makes vivid stories feel true, while the halo ef...
Ready to stop sprinting into burnout and start winning your year with calm, focused momentum? Focus not Frenzy? We dig into why so many smart, motivated people fail on their goals and how a few design choices can flip the odds in your favor. Instead of spreading energy across a dozen ambitions, we show how to pick the one that matters most, translate it into daily behaviors, and engineer your environment so doing the right thing becomes the easy thing. We ...
Want steady energy without complicated biohacks? We walk through the small, overlooked habits that create outsized gains - from underappreciated easy sleep hacks, to nutrition supplements and the science of drinking water. This is practical leverage for high performers who need clarity, energy, cognitive stamina, and mood stability to do their best work. Choose your weakest link and start small. These simple shifts compound fast. If this helped you think differently a...
Resolutions don’t fail because you’re undisciplined; they fail because the system around you was never built to help you win. Kicking off 2026, we get brutally practical about why goals crumble by mid-January and how to make behavior change stick using evidence, not hype. Drawing on research from behavioral scientists like Katy Milkman and hard-won coaching lessons, we unpack 7 common traps and turn each one into a simple, brain-friendly plan you can use today. By the end, you’ll know exact...
What if your best ideas are getting crowded out by mental clutter, not a lack of talent or willpower? We dive into simple, science-backed habits that free working memory, protect your peak focus hours, and turn effort into meaningful output without relying on endless caffeine. We walk through practical tools you can use, then we map your day to biology to honor ultradian cycles with breaks that reset your brain instead of scrolling. We also tackle the hid...
Big decisions get heavy when our lives don’t match our values. We set out to change that by getting ruthless about clarity and gentle about self-honesty. Think of this conversation as a blueprint for making choices that align with your best life you always think about: together we define deal breakers across career, relationships, and where you live, and we show how a short pause for reflection can prevent months of second-guessing. Instead of hoping the shiny option will evolve into your bes...
Most big goals don’t fail because they’re impossible. They fail because people never set themselves up for winning. They fail because the plan is vague, the timeline is short, and the strategy doesn’t fit the person. We dig into a single question that changes everything: what would have to be true for this (for YOU) to succeed? From there, we map a decade-long vision into near-term moves you can actually execute, and we show how to replace wishful thinking with a system that compounds. This ...
What if the motivation you need to reach your goals doesn't last because you don't know how to set your goals? We dig into the goal gradient effect and the surprising lesson from elite marathoners who don’t stare at the finish line. That shift fuels engagement in careers, health, and creative projects. Then we tackle 3 research-backed changes with outsized payoff. First, swap leap goals for stretch goals so effort reliably becomes progress. Second, trade blind positi...
Busy isn’t the same as better. We sat down with product strategist, coach and consultant, and now a pubslihed author Tim Herbig to unpack a simple truth: real progress with impact that matters happens when strategy, metrics, and discovery align. If you lead change across a product, a platform team, culture or your own habits - you’ll leave with a clearer way to choose what to focus on, what to measure, and what to learn. Say no with confidence. Retire progress theater. And build momentum you...
What if worry stopped being a wall and became an action signal? Today we take on the everyday fears that stall big goals and break them down using a simple, repeatable framework that turns anxiety into momentum. Drawing from coaching work and the fear-setting method popularized by Tim Ferriss, we show how to move from vague dread to concrete action without pretending fear disappears. You’ll leave with a t3-step tool you can use today: define the fear, prevent what you...
What if follow-through wasn’t a willpower problem but a design problem you can fix? We unpack a clear, 5-part system to create dependable action for yourself and your team. Drawing from behavioral science and real leadership practice, we show how uncertainty, skill gaps, weak rewards, and hidden blockers quietly kill momentum, not laziness, and how to replace them with simple, repeatable processes that make high performance the default. By the end, you’ll have a strai...
Waiting for motivation wastes the best hours of your day. We break down a simple, reliable system to create more motivation on demand. We dig into why discipline isn’t about loving hard work; it’s about doing the important thing when desire is missing. You’ll learn how behavioral activation flips your brain from rumination to action, why dopamine rises in response to movement, and how tiny, friction-free starts trigger the energy you thought you needed first. We then share 3 prompts that ...
What if consistency were easy? We pull back the curtain on how long‑term results come from better decision design, not iron will. After years of yo‑yo attempts, I found three frameworks that made health, work, and daily choices surprisingly easy to sustain—even through parties, vacations, and stressful seasons. If you are ready to stop white‑knuckling and start designing for habits that stick, this conversation gives you the playbook to build automaticity, instead of tra...
