Friction usually exists because there’s no rule deciding what happens next.When there’s no rule, emotion fills the gap.When emotion decides, energy gets drained fast. A rule is not a restriction. It's a decision you make once so you don’t have to keep making it. Examples: - “If it takes less than 2 minutes, I do it immediately.” - “If it isn’t scheduled, it isn’t real.” - “I don’t respond to messages after 8pm.” - “Important decisions wait 24 hours.” Rules remove hesitation.They turn repeated choices into automatic behavior. Today’s work is simple:Find one place where friction shows up repeatedlyand create one clear rule to handle it going forward. Not five rules.Not a perfect system.Just one. Reflection prompt:👉 Where in your life are you deciding the same thing over and over — and what rule could decide it for you? Tomorrow, we’ll turn that rule into something that runs without willpower.

Clarity doesn’t start with answers. It starts by naming what’s unclear. Today isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about bringing one area of your life out of your head and into words. Your only task: Reply with one sentence that starts with: “Right now, I feel unclear about ___.” No explanations. No backstory. No pressure to solve it. Clarity begins the moment something vague becomes visible. I’ll pull patterns from today’s responses and share a clarity framework next.

Yesterday, we named the fog — the unclear thought, problem, or situation that’s been quietly draining your energy or focus. Today is about identifying friction. Friction is the part of your day, work, or thinking that: - Slows you down - Creates unnecessary resistance - Feels heavier than it should - Repeats itself over and over Most people try to fix the outcome without addressing the friction causing it. Today’s Exercise (5 minutes) Answer these questions honestly: 1. What task, decision, or thought feels harder than it should be? 2. What part of that process feels repetitive, manual, or mentally draining? 3. If this friction disappeared, what would improve immediately — time, clarity, energy, or results? Now here’s the important shift: 👉 Don’t solve it yet. Just identify where energy is being lost. Clarity comes before solutions. AI Mindset Tie-In AI isn’t about replacing effort — it’s about reducing friction.Once you can see where resistance exists, you can decide whether: - A system - A habit - Or a simple AI assist could remove it. Reflection Question (Comment please) What’s one piece of friction in your day that shouldn’t be as hard as it feels? Name it below. Tomorrow, we turn friction into flow.
