It's 6:25 AM in a Midwest Panera and I'm writing my second Waymarks newsletter this morning because I'm implementing systems that force my hand. Task stacking, no excuses, no skipping, no “I’ll do it tomorrow” allowed.
Real freedom, be it in work, money, or creativity, isn’t endless options: it’s a set of tiny, boring systems that quietly remove the daily question marks so your finite willpower can stay pointed at the horizon you want instead of the next choice.
Pick one promise you keep breaking and lock it into a non-negotiable recurring calendar event. Let your system shame you into becoming the reliable person you already claim to be.
