i did it again and failed tried to make progress on everything at once and barely moved anything forward something @AlexHormozi said stuck with me: "get really good at one thing instead of juggling ten" but for me: i can’t drop work, family or most of my commitments but i can reduce friction, stop context switching and focus at one thing at a time so here’s my plan: πŸƒ marathon prep β†’ zone 2 only for now πŸŽ₯ timelapses β†’ same setup, every single time πŸ› οΈ building β†’ walklock first, then a scalable website redesign agency with cold outreach less switching, more finishing, more progress at a time if you see me chasing another shiny idea: call me out pls keep me accountable πŸ‘€

my wife completely redesigned my home office πŸ₯Ή but there’s one thing ruining the whole vibe that ugly ceiling light πŸ’€ i hate it so much i barely even turn it on now i want to make the room feel even cozier looking for some lighting inspo πŸ’‘ warm indirect lighting, LED strips, panels, anything that gives it a modern, cozy vibe i’m already thinking about adding an LED strip behind the wooden shelf with the model cars bonus: it should make my walking + working timelapses look better in the dark @stemonte @StefanRows you have banger office setups πŸ”₯ any lighting or setup recommendations? what would you add to this room?
wifey is the best πŸ₯Ή yesterday i came home from work and barely recognized my home office she completely redesigned it without me knowing a thing 🀯 i’d been unhappy with the room for a while: random gym equipment, office stuff everywhere, no real organization so she took matters into her own hands πŸ—„οΈ new cabinets πŸͺ΅ wooden shelf 🎨 wall painted in my favorite color: british racing green she even order our dads to build everything and the best part was what she said: β€œyou spend half your day in this room, it should be a place you love” i’m still speechless πŸ₯Ήβ€οΈ

Day 8 building while walking 04:30AM 5,912 steps even before sun rises now switching to bike for the next 10 km to work how do you build movement into your day?
β€œwe don’t need a new website, we already have an agency” that’s what a potential client told me last week but i've convinced him to show my work to him i already rebuilt the landing page they’re spending money on Google Ads for not just to make it prettier (that obviously too) but a focus on increasing their conversion rate and turn more clicks into customers called him again during my lunch break today we’re meeting on thursday so i can show him the actual result πŸ₯³ no deal yet, but i’m finally selling a potential outcome instead of just promising my work would you build something upfront to win a client?

filming with my phone kept interrupting my work Day 6 building while walking 7,397 steps mounted an action cam so my phone stays free what can’t you work without?
Day 5 building while walking 16,305 steps today finally found my zero-friction setup: Garmin in my pocket, no workout, no app, just step on and walk (everytime again) the easier the habit starts, the easier it sticks What’s your best β€œjust works” solution?

funny what gets you excited at 33 cycled 48.86 km to work and back today but the number i’m happiest about is 13.4 secs 13.4 secs for running 100 m sprint 26.9 km/h on my own legs 🫑 the final discipline i needed for my German Gold Sports Badge πŸ₯‡ between my 9–5, family and building SaaS, there’s always something to do felt pretty damn good to finish something that has nothing to do with a screen ran 100 m for three times my legs are absolutely fried now, lol
pov: it’s 5 am and you’re commuting through the fog to your 9–5 while everyone else is sleeping

Day 4 building while walking 12,250 steps before the main job even starts legs feel heavy today, constant walking adds up, especially on the tendons At what point does a good habit become too much?
