Why My Boundaries Have a Moat (and Yours Should Too)
|
Hey there, boundary-building rockstar 👋 Ever wonder how I keep my energy high, my schedule sane, and my clarity razor-sharp? It’s not caffeine. It’s not willpower. It’s… 🧱 Boundaries. Ruthless ones. Not cute little “maybe later” boundaries. I’m talking:
Too much? Maybe. Effective? Ohhhhh yeah. Because when you’ve got zero boundaries, you say yes to everyone else’s chaos—and no to your own momentum. And I refuse to live that way anymore. ✅ I don’t help people move. Instead… 🛌 I start winding down by 8:00 PM All because I know what fuels me—and what drains me. So let me ask you: Are your boundaries letting the wrong people and priorities storm your castle? If you’re feeling exhausted, foggy, or secretly resentful… that’s your sign. Build the moat. Add the snipers. Protect your energy like your future depends on it—because it does.

I also take reading walks — exactly what it sounds like: reading a physical book while walking. I do this as part of my daily 4:30 a.m. 30-minute prayer/reading time up and down our hallway,...
Hey, Reader! Gamifying your productivity is one of my biggest secrets to getting more done without feeling miserable. Here’s the simple premise: You turn productivity into a game. You compete against yourself. Who doesn’t like playing games? I’ve been doing this for years, and it’s helped me maintain my daily running streak since August 29, 2017, hit 15,000 steps for over 770 days, stay consistent with cold showers, weight lifting, meditation, outreach for speaking gigs, and more—even at 60....
Hey, Reader! Confession time. I’ve been preaching the power of time tracking for years. I tell clients it’s one of the fastest ways to gain clarity and kill procrastination. Yet for a while, I wasn’t doing it myself. Even Mister Productivity falters sometimes. After a recent speaking engagement, I got convicted. I realized I was telling others to do something I had quietly stopped doing. So I made a decision: I’m back to tracking my time. But I wanted to keep it simple. Complexity is the...
