Shoutout to Devon for this week's win of the week.
Let me tell you a bit about Devon: He's VP at Student Works managing over $30M in business, getting married in July, and hit every single commitment this week:
- 5/5 lifts
- 15 min stairmaster after each lift
- 10k steps every day
- Dropped a pound, right on pace
The reason it worked isn't discipline. It's that he doesn't decide in the moment. Devon prelogs his meals before the week starts. The Saturday ice cream, the sweets he fits in during the week, the dinners out - all planned and logged before the day begins. He shows up to the restaurant already knowing what he's ordering.
That's the whole system.
The mistake most guys in his position make is trying to "be good" Monday through Friday and white-knuckle their way through weekends and dinners out. Then one unplanned meal becomes three. By Sunday night the wheels are off and Monday's "fresh start" energy carries them about 72 hours before they're back where they started.
Devon doesn't ask his willpower to do the heavy lifting. By the time you're sitting at a table after a 12-hour day, decision fatigue is going to win every time. So he makes the decisions on Sunday for the week ahead. Then he just executes what's already on the page.
You're not failing because you lack discipline. You're failing because you're asking your willpower to do work that planning should be doing.
Devon, congrats brother. Nailed it.
