🎙️ New Episode: Your Summer Reset Starts Now: A Mid-Year Clarity Check-In


Hey, it’s Mark! 👋

We’re halfway through the year.

Let that land.

Are you where you thought you’d be when 2024 started?

If you’re feeling a little foggy, distracted, or behind on your goals… I’ve got good news:

👉 You’re not behind. You’re at a pivot point.

And right now—right here—is your opportunity to hit reset with three simple questions.

No guilt. Just clarity.

🔍 1. What’s working?

We don’t reflect on this enough.
What habits, routines, or systems are actually helping you right now?

Maybe it’s a morning routine that grounds you.
Maybe it’s a weekly planning ritual, or boundaries around tech use.

Whatever it is—spot it, and double down on it.
Summer often tempts us to loosen up, but the goal isn’t rigidity—it’s consistency.

🛑 2. What’s not working?

Time to get honest—but not harsh.

What’s draining your energy or attention lately?
What habits snuck in like mosquitos at a summer BBQ?

Are you checking email before your feet hit the floor?
Is your calendar full but your brain feels scattered?

Pick ONE thing to stop tolerating this summer.
You don’t need a total overhaul—just a clear shift.

🎯 3. What’s next?

Now comes the momentum.

Ask yourself:
“If I made progress on just one thing this summer, what would it be?”

One goal.
One focus.
One decision repeated daily.

That’s how you change the second half of your year.

You don’t need a full plan.
You need clarity—and that starts with these three questions.

If you want help cutting through the noise and deciding what your “one thing” should be?

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...
