Why am I writing this

Most people want things. Very few actually get them.

Not because they’re less talented, but because they never build the clarity, habits, and momentum that make goals inevitable.

This week’s note is simple: one insight, one habit, one story, to help you get what you want out of life.

1 Insight

The biggest drag on progress isn’t lack of motivation — it’s the number of micro-decisions you keep making every day.

Once you reduce choices, you reduce friction.

Once you reduce friction, you move.

“The more you automate the path, the more you accelerate the outcome.”

Practical example:

Instead of deciding daily, “Should I write today?” → Decide once that you will write every day at 8 pm.

Small constraint, massive freedom.

1 Habit

Every morning, pick three wins for the day:

  1. One that moves your long-term goal

  2. One that improves your health or skills

  3. One that reduces future stress (admin, cleanup, simplification)

If all three are completed, the day is a net victory — regardless of the chaos.

This habit compounds into self-trust, which in turn compounds into boldness, which ultimately compounds into results.c

1 Story

When Jerry Seinfeld was building his comedy career, he used a simple system:

Write jokes every day. Mark the calendar with an X. Never break the chain.

He didn’t wait for inspiration. Didn’t aim for perfect jokes.

He only aimed for a longer chain.

His success wasn’t magic — it was the inevitable result of eliminating decisions + protecting a simple habit.

This is true for anyone: once the chain grows long enough, the outcome is no longer a question of if, but when.

That’s it for this week!!!

You can want anything.

But you only get what your systems, habits, and identity make unavoidable.

So this week:

Reduce decisions.

Choose three wins.

Start your chain.

And don’t break it.
