How I Beat the Afternoon Slump with Binaural Beats and My Rebounder


Hey, it’s Mark!

It was a warm and humid Houston Friday afternoon…

The kind that makes even this Diet Coke-loving productivity coach feel like he’s wading through molasses.

Energy? Flat.

Focus? Fizzled.

Momentum? M.I.A.

But instead of cracking open another can, I turned to something I never expected to give me a real boost…

Binaural beats + my rebounder.

I slipped on my headphones, cued up a track of Beta wave binaural beats (13–30 Hz), and gently bounced on my rebounder for about 15 minutes.

And something clicked.

Mental fog? Lifted.

Mood? Elevated.

Clarity? Rebooted.

I felt like ME again—bouncy, clear, and ready to take on the world (or at least my to-do list).

But let me be clear:
This is a short-term energy booster, not a sleep replacement.

Binaural beats and rebounding can reignite your fire when you're dragging, but they don’t make up for poor sleep habits.

If you really want to stay clear, focused, and high-energy over the long haul?
Prioritize quality sleep.

  • Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day (yes, seven days a week).
  • Your body craves consistency—it’s the best performance hack I know.

This combo is for the days when you just need to finish strong—not an excuse to skip sleep tonight. 😉

You don’t need hours—or caffeine. Just:

  1. A short beta wave track
  2. 15 minutes on your rebounder
  3. A willingness to try something that actually works

Hey, Reader! If your to-do list feels like a never-ending dumpster fire of random tasks, you’re probably making the single biggest mistake possible: You have one giant catch-all list. Stop. That’s chaos disguised as productivity. Here’s the system that actually works (the same one I’ve used for years and still swear by): Create separate, smart lists instead of one monster list. Shopping – one list per store Walmart, Costco, Trader Joe’s, pharmacy – whatever you actually shop at. Bonus: share...

Hey, Reader! Overwhelm isn't a sign you're failing—it's a signal something needs to shift. These seven habits have carried me through the busiest seasons, and they still work because they're simple, repeatable, and rooted in how God actually wired us for rest, joy, and rhythm. Prioritize real sleep Your brain and soul need 7–9 hours of consistent rest. Same bedtime, same wake time—even on weekends. When we're exhausted, everything feels heavier than it is. God built a rhythm of work and rest...

Hey, Reader! Your phone is winning. It pings, it glows, it steals hours you’ll never get back. Here are the four moves that actually work in 2025. I’ve used every one of them for years. They still work better than any new app or “focus mode” gimmick. Clear your home screen completely. Leave only your wallpaper showing. Nothing in the dock if you can stand it (I keep four essentials). First thing you see when you unlock? A photo that makes you smile — your dog, your kid, a sunset — not a wall...
