Remember: We can plan for the future, but we can only act in the present.
Each choice today either moves you toward your goals or away from them.

What's one micro-habit you could adjust this week?

Your action plan:

1. Pick ONE habit working against your goals
2. Fix it (aim ridiculously small)
3, Once it's automatic, find the next one
4. Repeat

The path is infinite. So is your potential for improvement. ♾️

🌳 Think of habits like tree roots.

Everyone admires the beautiful leaves and strong trunk, but it's those hidden roots that sustain everything above ground.

Small habits = hidden roots 😉

Real example: I started going to bed 30 minutes earlier.

Result? I could wake up before my kids, hit the gym, and start each day with clarity and energy.

One tiny change. Massive ripple effects. 🌊

🔄 Here's the secret: Everything is interconnected.

Better sleep → more energy for gym → improved mood → better relationships → increased focus → better sleep

It's a positive feedback loop. But the reverse is also true - bad habits compound too.

The areas that actually matter:

💤 Sleep (7-9 hours, cool room)
🎯 Eliminate distractions (less scrolling)
🥗 Intentional nutrition
💪 Regular strength training
🧠 Know your cognitive biases
🤝 Positive relationships

Better question: What am I doing RIGHT NOW that moves me toward (or away from) my goals?

And each morning, the game restarts. 🌅

We love to dream big:
- "I want to make more money"
- "I'll learn a new language"
- "I need more energy"

But these grand plans lack the daily micro-steps that actually get us there.
The problem? We're blind to our own patterns.

Starting with to-dos, I've been a huge fan of Things for Mac. In particular, I've been using Areas and Projects to organize my day to day tasks. You can learn more here: culturedcode.com/things/suppo...

But the list is infinite, and it's true that these are small improvements, but they compound over the days, weeks and months if you keep working on them.

- Improving my email filters for work, so I spend less time in my inbox.

- Investing in tools that helps me reduce my workload (creating PRs automatically with Cursor, for example).

- Creating aliases for very common terminal commands.
