Hey Reader, Sorry, I missed last week! I'm launching a new program & automating more systems, so I'm more consistent! Today, I want to talk about how overworking yourself builds cycles of inconsistency. The Sprint-Burnout LoopADHDers tend to push themselves way too hard. For example, I always planned to take it easy on my runs. But then I’d spot someone ahead of me, and next thing you know—I’m sprinting at a 6-minute pace for 4 miles. My ankle would start throbbing. I’d say, “Don’t be a bitch,” and keep pushing. And I’d finish with a swollen ankle and a limp that benched me for a month. What did I do a month later? Ran the exact same way. Again. Lol the life of an overly competitive dumbass Turns out, I had this pattern in every part of my life:
I lived in extremes: all gas, then total crash. The Hidden Cost of InconsistencyIn business, that sprinting mindset was a killer. If you sprint up a hill during a marathon and you're at mile 4, then you’re going to burn out. When I was inconsistent, I’d follow this pattern:
I was trading 1 strong week for 2 shitty ones. Lmao I was robbing myself. This is me trying to find out who's destroying my productivity (Check Below) The results?
What would be a lot better? Three good, consistent weeks. When I started approaching things this way,
Focus on consistency, not spikes. Your effort compounds week after week. But, how do you maintain this consistency? Build Systems, Not SprintsInconsistency thrives when you lack self-awareness. For example,
You need to study your habits, strengths, and weaknesses like a scientist studies a new disease. Then, build systems to protect your future self from your present self. Otherwise, you will repeat mistakes and be inconsistent. Example: I run with a watch now. Not to go faster—but to go slower. It stops me from sprinting past my limits. That’s why I kept injuring myself. Here are a few other “guardrails” I’ve built:
Each of these guardrails prevents me from falling into the old cycle above. Sure, I don’t always get it right. But my systems help me stay in the game and avoid the sprint-burnout loop. Don’t rely on willpower—rely on systems. Reply with your problems and I'll give a suggestion. Consistency Comes from Awareness

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how to bounce back from vacation without the post-trip anxiety spiral. Miami + Mexico City = Disaster In June, I traveled to Mexico City and Miami. Sounds amazing right? It actually was two weeks of anxiety and zero sleep. Miami was first—my sister had just won an enormous award (what a boss) and I went to celebrate. Shoutout Tricey!! I planned to work during the trip because my business was in a lull. Instead, I bounced between seminars, lunches, and...
Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how problem-solving is the key to unlocking your potential. Stop Covering Up Problems and Start Unlocking Your Potential Every problem you avoid is a thief—stealing your time, your energy, and your future. For years, I let mine rob me.

Instead of building my dream, as soon as I got off work, I’d...
Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how limiting beliefs will stop you from reaching your potential. The Belief That Almost Robbed Me In high school, I wrestled. I was handing out Ls in my first match A central part of wrestling is “shooting.” That’s when you attack your opponent's legs like this But in 3rd grade? I sucked at it. And I internalized a limiting belief: "I'm not good at shooting." By high school, I still carried that belief until my coach forced me to practice shooting. I...
