Avoiding Blunders | Exist Plan
Most outcomes aren't shaped by brilliant moves. They're shaped by one obvious mistake you didn't have to make. Here's how to catch it before it happens.

Big Small Fees | Exist Plan
A 1% fee sounds harmless. Over decades, it quietly takes a fortune. The same pattern shows up everywhere in life.

Picasso sketched on a napkin in 30 seconds. Charged $10,000. "But that took 30 seconds!" "No. It took 40 years."

Your wealth is leaking, one "small" fee at a time. 📉

Do the math on those subscriptions and expense ratios. If you ignore them now, you're giving away years of freedom later.

"It’s just 1%." That sentence could cost you six figures over a lifetime. Small fees aren't small when they compound against you.

"Do the laundry" sat on my list for 3 days. Not because it was hard—because it was vague. The real first step: gather clothes. Now I can start.

We tell ourselves stories about who we are. But the truth? Look at what you've done this week, this month, this year. That's who you are.

Stop planning. Stop scrolling. Just look at the thing you're avoiding—until the next honest step becomes obvious.

You practice guitar chords, but not how you hold the pick. The basics are invisible because they're constant—and that's exactly why they matter.

We practice “big” skills and ignore the invisible ones: how we type, sit, walk, open files, make coffee.
Those tiny frictions tax attention all day.

Stop treating rest as a reward for finishing your list. The list never ends.

If you do not schedule time to disconnect, your body will eventually force you to stop.

We keep waiting for a massive life overhaul. But looking at the data, real change is just a stack of boring, gentle choices made 1% better every day. Why the small stuff wins:

Your calendar shows where your time goes, but it lies about where your energy goes. You can be perfectly scheduled and still completely burnt out. Stop managing minutes, start managing focus

Unfinished tasks are like open browser tabs in your brain. They eat up RAM even when you aren't looking. Responsibility is not a burden. It is the only way to close the tabs and speed up the system.

"When did I last water the plants?" My brain is too full of code to remember maintenance loops. I built Since to track recurring tasks. The longer you wait, the higher they float to the top.
