Description

Everyone says to break goals into subtasks. But what if that’s exactly what’s slowing you down?


I show why this common productivity advice fails when you’re building something new—and what to do instead. You’ll learn a faster, lighter Agile-inspired system that:

- Cuts planning time to one hour

- Keeps you focused without overwhelm

- Builds clarity through action, not research


If you’ve ever fallen into the “perfect plan” trap, this video will change how you plan forever.
