I wasn’t failing because I lacked discipline.
I was failing because I made my life TOO COMPLICATED.

Too many SYSTEMS.
Too many PLANS.
Too many RULES.

Every time I felt OVERWHELMED, I tried to fix it by adding more structure.
And every time, I COLLAPSED under it.

So I did the opposite.

I removed almost everything.

What I’m left with now is just THREE QUESTIONS I ANSWER EVERY DAY.

The 3 Questions (That’s It)

Every day, I only answer YES OR NO to these:

MOVE
Did I move my body today?
A jog. A walk. Pushups. Anything intentional.

Not fitness goals.
Not aesthetics.
Just movement.

BUILD
Did I spend 2 focused hours building ONE thing?
One Framer template.
One landing page.
Not five ideas. Not multitasking.

One thing.

SHIP
Did I produce proof of work?
A screenshot.
A clip.
A commit.
An export.

UGLY is fine. INCOMPLETE is fine.
HIDDEN progress doesn’t count.

Why This Works (When Everything Else Failed)

This rule doesn’t ask how I feel.
It doesn’t care about motivation.
It doesn’t reward perfection.

It only checks ACTION.

If I hit 2 OUT OF 3 , the day counts.
If I hit 1 OR 0 , I don’t punish myself.

I reset tomorrow.

No guilt spiral.
No dramatic restart.
No “I’ve failed my life” speeches.

Just reset.

The Tracking Method (Even Simpler)

I don’t use NOTION.
I don’t use APPS.
I don’t use DASHBOARD.

I use ONE NOTE.

That’s it.

DATE:

MOVE: YES / NO BUILD: YES / NO SHIP: YES / NO

ONE LINE NOTE:

No journaling.
No reflections.
No emotions.

Just facts.

What This Taught Me

I didn’t need more discipline.
I needed FEWER DECISIONS.

I didn’t need motivation.
I needed A FLOOR I COULDN’T FALL BELOW.

Some days are BAD.
Some days are empty.
Some days I BARELY show up.

But this system survives bad days.

And that’s the point.

If You’re Tired of Starting Over

STOP asking yourself big questions like:

• “What’s my PURPOSE?”

• “What should I be DOING with my life?”

• “Why am I not CONSISTENT?”

Ask smaller ones:

Did I MOVE?
Did I BUILD?
Did I SHIP?

That’s enough for today.
