Huge Win as I continue to apply the 1% effort rule daily. The biggest lie I tell myself is "I'll do this when I have time." Time never shows up. Inertia does. The fix is the 1% rule. Not 1% better. 1% effort. The smallest deliberate action you can take on the thing you're avoiding. In practice: - Open the project you've been avoiding. Read one paragraph of the docs. Close it. - Send one outreach message to one prospect on your list. - Write one line of the email you've been drafting in your head for a week. - Refactor one function. One. Then stop. - Test one new tool you've been meaning to try. Hit one button. Done. That's it. No streaks. No accountability hacks. No new app. Three things this actually does: 1. Breaks the resistance loop. Starting is the hard part. The 1% bypasses resistance because there's nothing to resist. 2. Keeps the project alive. A task touched today does not decay into avoidance. A task ignored for two weeks becomes a different beast. 3. Compounds quietly. One paragraph a day is a finished doc by month-end. One outreach a day is a real pipeline by quarter-end. The point is consistency, not volume. The mistake is thinking you need a clear afternoon and full motivation. You don't. You need 90 seconds and the discipline to stop after. Try it on the thing you've been avoiding the longest. Set a 90 second timer. Do the smallest version of it. Close the laptop. What's the thing you'd run this on?

Skill name: flexxen-post What it does: Takes any topic and writes 3 branded Instagram post variations — hook, caption, CTA and hashtags — in my exact brand voice, for my exact audience (Pilates and boutique wellness studio owners in Australia). How I trigger it: /flexxen-post [topic] Example: /flexxen-post cancellations and no-shows → 3 ready-to-post captions. Instantly. Saved to a file automatically. One optimisation I made: I added guardrails — no sales pitching, no generic wellness clichés, no American spelling. Because I know my audience and I know what I DON'T want it to write. The output that blew my mind 👇 "I used to absorb every no-show like it was my fault. I'd find reasons. They must be sick. Something came up. I didn't want to be the difficult one. So I'd say nothing. And they'd do it again." I didn't write that. The skill did. In my voice. First try. Next I'm building /flexxen-reel and /flexxen-story so every content format has its own skill.
