I have made some very significant changes in the way of think in the way I move every day and the way I eat in the last four weeks. This deep deep work has uncovered patterns and voices that it has been challenging to see and to clear. I was in a great space yesterday morning after the call. I came to work, got in a car to drive it for a mechanic and when I reached over to open his door my back tweaked. Every vertebrae in my lower spine T12 and below is pronated, prolapsed, degenerated, slipped - there are many very clear reasons for the excruciating nerve pain that in the past has laid me up for weeks. It's also a pattern that I was so programmed that I had to earn my place, in the world, and my family, in school perfectly or I was not worthy of love or acceptance. I broke my back when I was 19 and it became a great excuse. Yesterday, I know KNOW it was much more about my body resisting this change and screaming for its comfort zone of sedentary, safe and pretty boring life, barely subsisting financially. Already too long a story to go through everything, but I did the medical things I knew would prevent it getting worse. But I also had a great conversation with SAGE about the other aspects of this pain, the timing right as I'm getting ready to be pushed off the cliff and fly! I see it, and I am not in debilitating nerve pain right now although my low back is really tight and sore it's a pain I can deal with. I know this is what is happening and it's still really hard guys!!!

@Vicky Salisbury @Tia ColemanCarr @Donna Bjurlin @Simon Sharpe @Dorothea Habtamu @Mary Christou @Joan Jones @Linda Hernandez @Mads Munk @Heather Jensen you all mentioned task initiation, motivation, procrastination, or feeling overwhelmed by everything on your plate. We covered this during the Q&A so here's the breakdown. The main message: most productivity advice is way too simplistic. A new Notion dashboard or switching to a different app is not going to fix it. That's putting a bandaid on a broken system. The Harmony Productivity System works in layers, and skipping layers is why most approaches fail. Also see the attached image for reference. Layer 1: Regulation first. You can have the best system in the world, but if you sleep badly, you won't be productive. Period. The first domino is always: optimize sleep, add some movement (releases dopamine naturally), improve nutrition. Without a regulated nervous system, nothing else works. This is why so many of you feel like you "can't start." Your brain literally doesn't have the fuel. Layer 2: Purpose & Alignment. Once regulation is handled, figure out what actually lights you up. You don't need your full life purpose right now. Just arrange things so what you do is at least somewhat aligned with who you are. @Heather Jensen this is your situation. If your current job drains you, that's okay, but have a plan for what you're working toward. Knowing the "why" behind the grind makes the grind bearable. Layer 3: Two Big Rocks. Don't set 10 goals. Pick two. Mine are my health and my business. Everything else follows from keeping those two on track. @Mary Christou , this is the answer to "what should I focus on?" Fewer priorities means more follow-through. Pick two, let everything else be secondary.
