Going into 2026, ask yourself these 4 questions

I'm not a fan of resolutions.

I'm a fan of habits that stick.

So quick challenge for any of you guys setting resolutions: Start them today.

Want to lose weight? Start the diet now.

Want to grow your skool? Film a youtube and send some outreach today.

Want to get in a relationship? Go sign up for some events surrounding your interests right now.

But here are some questions to help you figure out what you need to focus on in the big picture.

What's something you do for fun/to relax that you have no positive memories of? Delete it.
What's one thing you didn't think was productive that led to a win? Do more of that.
If you removed 1 thing from the past year, to help you hit your goals, what would it be? Delete it.
What's the best week you had this last year? Engineer that to be your every week.

Answering these questions made me realize that any time on social media was lost time. I had no positive memories from social media, and very few from any type of television.

Boom there's 2 things to cut out.

If I removed sugar from my diet, I'd have more energy to work late. I've already started eliminating processed foods to eliminate sugar completely.

One thing that felt unproductive was writing and documenting my ideas. Turns out those became my best content and eventually a $40k launch.

"Write more" is something I started last month.

Finally, the best weeks I've had this year were filled with 14 hour work days, lots of writing and calls, evenings outside running, or walking with my Fiancé, and going to bed exhausted because I worked so hard.

So more deep work sessions paired with outdoor adventures *for me* are the ingredients I'll be insuring are always in my schedule.

And remember....

Your life is happening now. It doesn't start when you hit a goal. You're not preparing to live.

You're living...

The moments you spent reading this post, are gone. Go and live each future moment.

So that when it's all said and done, you can look back with a smile, knowing you lived.
