Have you ever finished a day feeling like you worked all day… But made no real progress?
That’s not laziness. That’s scattered energy. And scattered energy kills big goals faster than anything.
You don’t need more motivation. You need a system that protects your priorities from everything trying to steal them.
That’s what changed everything for me. Two simple rules helped me stop reacting and start building real momentum — in my business, creativity, and coaching work.
What Is the 90/90/1 Rule?
Pick your number one goal. Then spend the first 90 minutes of your day working on it. Do this for 90 straight days.
No emails. No scrolling. No multitasking. Just deep, intentional work.
For me, this meant creating a new online seminar I had been “thinking about” for months.
But every day, I’d wake up and dive into email or client calls. By the time I got around to it, my energy was gone.
So I made one shift:
I blocked 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. every weekday. No phone. No browser tabs. No noise. Just me and the work.
And something powerful happened.
By day five, the outline was done. By week three, the first module was ready. By week six, I was delivering it live.
90 minutes a day built something I had postponed for over a year.
“Focus is the modern superpower. Without it, your best work never sees the light of day.”
What Is the 5/25 Rule?
- Write down your top 25 goals
- Circle your top 5 — the ones that really matter
- Avoid the other 20 like your future depends on it
Because it does.
Those other 20 aren’t bad. They’re seductive. They’ll trick you into feeling productive — while quietly draining your focus.
Once I did this, it became clear what I needed to drop:
- Rebuilding an old workshop that no longer fit my audience
- Redesigning my website mid-launch
- Saying yes to shiny collaborations I wasn’t excited about
Cutting those freed up time and energy for what I truly wanted to build.
Try This Tomorrow Morning
- Set the alarm 30 minutes earlier
- Write your #1 goal on a sticky note and put it by your desk
- Turn off email, notifications, and all distractions
- Get your coffee, sit down, and begin
- Use a timer — protect that 90-minute window
- At the end, write: “Here’s what I moved forward today”
You don’t need to finish it all. You just need to start with presence.
Do this for 5 days. Then watch what happens.
