🗺️ Change the Map:
Been stuck on the same map too long?
You know this place like the back of your hand, but it bores you.
New environments unlock new quests.
Travel. Move. Try new routines.
You can’t find new loot if you never leave the map.

👓 Change Your View:
The game didn’t change, but you did.
Sometimes all it takes is a shift in perspective.
See the challenge as XP.
Reframe the grind. "I get to do this".
Same game, new mindset = progress.

🧩 Play It a Different Way:
You don’t always need to switch games.
Sometimes you just need a new strategy.
Change characters. Use different tools.
Level up in a way that actually fits you.
Same game, better playstyle for you.

🔄 Switch Games:
You've beaten Ganon 100 times.
You know every side quest.
Maybe it’s time to swap Zelda for Call of Duty.
If the thrill is gone, it’s OK to try something new.
Some games aren't meant to be played forever.
The real win? Finding one that still excites you.

🧠 Level 1 mistake:
Spending hours naming your new project.
The name isn’t the mission.
Validate the game first. Does it matter, does it work, and do people care?
If yes, great. Name it later.
Naming’s more like Level 5.
Don’t get stuck at the character creation screen.

🕹️ Keep Playing the Right Game:
I chose recruiting as my main quest.
No XP at the start. Just cold calls and doubt.
I saw others crushing it and knew I wanted that level, too.
The more I played, the better I got.
Eventually, I mastered the game and got out of debt.

I had two final interviews for UK recruiting jobs:
1 healthcare, 1 IT.
Healthcare said no.
IT said yes.
The healthcare firm had no international ops.
The IT firm eventually moved me to the US.
That rejection?
One of the best things that ever happened to me.

Change Your Surroundings:
When I’ve felt stuck, it’s usually because life got too predictable.
A walk in nature, a short trip, or even working somewhere new helped reset my mindset.
Sometimes a new view is all it takes to feel unstuck.

I used to start work, check my phone, read the news, and suddenly the day was gone. Nothing done.
What helped me: Pomodoro.
Set a timer for 25–45 mins, focus on 1 task. When it rings, take a short break (No tech), then repeat.
This changed everything.

Getting up was a major drag, 15 alarms, snooze after snooze, still tired.
I thought I needed to “Become a morning person.”
I was wrong.
I needed something to wake up for.
Excitement is the best alarm clock.

Change the Game:
Is your current game serving you?
Do you love playing it?
If the answer to both of these is no, sometimes it's better to find a new game to play that you can grow to love.
This most drastic step requires the most change, but it could be what you need.

You should be excited to complete the activities on your list each day. It should be fun for you; that's what it looks like to win the game.

I found a career I loved. It changed my life in so many ways.
Then one day… I didn’t love it anymore.
I tried to transition to something else for a long time. I felt like I didn’t know anything else, or how to make a living elsewhere.
I was stuck.

I studied their moves, adapted fast, and passed them.
