You start strong on January 1.
You hit the gym twice, take an ice shower, and have kale for breakfast.
You promise yourself that this year will be different.
But by Day 3, everything falls apart.
A meeting runs late, cutting into lunch.
A friend wants to “catch up” quickly.
Going to the gym shifts from essential to optional.
This is not a big problem, but a small leak.
It sneaks in with "just five more minutes,"
ignored notifications,
and back‑to‑back calls.
Your schedule gets cluttered with extra time between tasks,
checking emails,
and putting things off.
Your focus gets pulled in different directions with notifications
and unfinished messages.
Your mind starts making excuses:
"It's still early, I have time."
This trick leads to delays.
Changes first impact how you see yourself,
then your results.
Drift doesn't feel wrong at first,
and that makes it dangerous.
By January 20, the excitement you had turns into just paperwork.
Remember: keeping momentum is a numbers game.
One lost hour leads to five more lost.
That’s why I created The 90-Day Discipline Blueprint (currently 25% off)
to help you stop drifting and take action.
Many people ignore this truth:
every small decision pushes you towards being ordinary.
Think about that discomfort.
Identify the small leaks you need to fix before you sleep tonight.
If this resonates with you and you want to learn more about taking action,
consider joining the 5% Club (which offers a 7-day free trial).
Tomorrow, I’ll explain the cycle that makes drifting in January hard to avoid —
unless you decide to break it.
