What a mistake coming back to help my sister. Apparently I owe her half of the 200$ she gave me for cleaning her house for a mnth n taking care of her hurt cat. Im so disappointed in my sister in all ways..and if ur child can not sleep at 11pm u do not start coloring with her n entertaining her u let the 4 year old cry n let them wear themselves out they are not babies anymore and they can manipulate every situation if u let them. Ugh ready to be back in Saskatoon where normal thinking ppl are lol

@Martin Hunt had tried the diaries, the apps, the journaling, literally everything. Then day one happened: "In fact, after day one, where we're given some insights, I wept." @Heather Jensen came in burned out, convinced she had to fix that first before anything else could work. She found "a community of people who I don't have to explain myself to and I'd often mask around", and then the week went straight at the source of the burnout itself. @Richard Chambury, London, undiagnosed and stuck on an NHS waiting list: "It's the first time I have ever finished an online challenge like this." @Diana Domantay, 39, Tampa, single mom, diagnosed at 38, calls herself a lifelong researcher: "I stopped searching after completing the five day challenge. And for me, that's saying a lot." @Azmath Syed has been studying therapy since 2020 and joined skeptical: "Honestly, there's nothing else out there like this, at least none that I know of." @Judy Hamilton arrived with "I'm a good starter but I don't finish things." Now: "I'm starting to embrace my new code: I am a finisher." @Dario Costa, Italy, never even thought he had ADHD: one small event from his childhood, the kind you dismiss for decades, turned out to be running the way he works and lives. "This gave me a lot of very deep insight." @Tracy A Weiss is 66 and has worked with ADHD coaches for years: "I think I have learned more about myself than I could ever have hoped for." @Lynn Berry opened her own Reiki practice at 72. And there are hundreds more.... Then the sentence I hear most, word for word, from people who look nothing alike: "I've stopped being at war with myself." Not "I got more done this week." A different relationship with the person in the mirror. That's the level this challenge works on, and it's exactly why it sticks when nothing else did.

Im back at my sisters to help take care of their cats Cocoa. She got her himd leg amputated yesterday. This morning she is a lot happier and less growly.

"Jim doesn't apply himself." That's a real sentence from my elementary school reports. I found them a few years ago, while I was rebuilding my life after my burnout. Black on white: "Jim doesn't apply himself." "Jim is easily distracted." "Jim has potential, but." Here's the part that got me. I had no memory of any of it. But some part of me clearly did. Because I spent the next twenty years proving those sentences right. Starting things and abandoning them. Calling myself lazy. Collecting 30K worth of unfinished courses as evidence. And that's the realization I promised you on Friday: Every app, planner and course I ever bought was trying to change what I DO. But underneath what you do, something else is running that decides everything: the story of who you believe you are. Sentences installed by teachers, parents, bosses, a system that was never built for your brain. Most of them before you turned ten. You never chose them. You don't remember agreeing to them. And they've been quietly running your life ever since. Those sentences are where the daily stuff actually comes from. The procrastination. The overwhelm at a normal to-do list. The anxiety. The overthinking. The fear of being judged. You think you have a productivity problem. You have old beliefs with productivity symptoms. The difference between "I am lazy" and "I have a belief that says I'm lazy" is huge. One is a life sentence. The other is code you can rewrite. That is what makes this challenge differente. Not just productivity tips. Five days where we go underneath the behavior, find who you were before those sentences, and start closing the gap between who you are right now and who you're actually built to be. This is the work that changed my life. Not the apps. This. Last Friday, many of you shared your intention for this challenge. I read every single one, and most of them are versions of the same wish: to finally finish something, to stop fighting yourself.

I run three companies, have won several awards, work out almost every day, but more importantly, I can finally say that I live a peaceful and fulfilling life. A few years ago, I was an exhausted gaming addict who didn’t even dare to open his own mail. Here’s what happened. The kid with the headphones is me, around ten years old. I spent years escaping into games, because real life felt too overwhelming to face. Later the games became festivals. Every weekend: party, drinking, numbing. Every Monday: flat, anxious, useless. From the outside it looked like fun. From the inside it was mail I didn't dare open, a room I couldn't keep clean, 15 minute tasks I procrastinated on for months, and one word on repeat in my head: lazy. The bottom photos are the part I almost didn't post. The numbing. The version of me that eventually burned out completely, sitting at his desk at 2am wondering what was wrong with him. By then I'd spent over 30K on courses and programs to fix myself. Finished none of them. Now the right side. The gym, almost daily. The water tower is my office. I rent the top floor and work there with my brother and my best friend. The purple one is the T500, an award for tech entrepreneurs here in the Netherlands. I am traveling the world. I don't show you this to brag, and before your brain says "good for him": my life is not perfect. I still have ADHD. I still lose my keys, I still overcommit, I still have days where nothing works. So what changed? Not discipline. I still have almost none. Not an app or a planner. Those all worked for about nine days. Not the diagnosis, and not the medication. That's a story for another day. What changed is who I believed I was. On Monday I'll tell you exactly what I mean, including something I found in my old school reports that I had zero memory of. And maybe your left side looks nothing like mine. No gaming, no festivals. Maybe yours is quieter: the to-do list that makes you want to cry. The anxiety before opening one email. Being exhausted at 3pm after a day of doing "nothing". Overthinking every conversation afterwards. Procrastinating on exactly the things you care about most. The fear of being judged if people saw the real state of things. Calling yourself lazy while what you actually are is overwhelmed.
