0:00Six months ago, you told yourself this
0:02is going to be the year. You set the
0:03goals, you made the promises, and
0:05chances are you probably fell behind.
0:07It's happened to the best of us. I've
0:08been there, wondering how the heck am I
0:10going to catch up on everything I said I
0:11would do. But, here's the good news. It
0:13only [music] takes six months to change
0:15everything. Some of the most successful
0:17people alive made their biggest leaps in
0:19a single six-month stretch. They just
0:20had a plan that made turning their life
0:22around feel inevitable. All you need is
0:24what I call the four-week edit to set
0:26yourself up for the next six months.
0:28Because you don't need to burn your
0:29whole life down, you just need to edit.
0:32I've shared this with thousands of
0:33founders I work with, and some [music]
0:34finally hit goals they've been
0:35struggling with for years, and I really
0:38believe you can, too. So, watch till the
0:40end because the version of you six
0:41months from now will thank you for
0:43[music] it. So, let's start with week
0:44one, where the focus will be to
0:46envision. Where are you actually going?
0:49You can't change your life if you don't
0:51know what you're changing it into. If
0:53you skip this, you'll literally spend
0:54the next six months busy, but you'll end
0:57up in the exact same spot you're at
0:58because you don't know where you're
0:59going. So, there's only two things you
1:01can do to set your vision, and the first
1:03one is to visualize your 10.0 self. Most
1:05people, they set goals like this. Let's
1:08get healthier. Let's make more money.
1:10But, if you can't describe the vision
1:11you have for your life with the same
1:13specificity as you could your current
1:15situation, then that's not a vision.
1:17That's just a wish. The 10.0 version of
1:19you is looking at all the best moments
1:22where you've shown up put together in
1:24one day. That is your 10.0 self. You and
1:27I [music] got to figure out what that is
1:29so that you can aim at it because you'll
1:31never hit a target you can't see. So,
1:33here's how we do that. Number one, we
1:35have to get specific in four key areas.
1:38No vague words allowed. The first one is
1:40the body. Then we've got your bank,
1:42>> [music]
1:43>> the money side. Then we have our
1:44calendar, our time. Where are we
1:47spending it? How are we investing
1:48[music]
1:49it? And then finally, we've got people.
1:52Now, here's the trick. We have to write
1:54it like it's already true. I like to go
1:56to the end and say like it's December
1:5731st and it's already happened. How
2:00would I write it down? I'm not just
2:01going to write like be healthier. I'm
2:03going to say I weigh, I completed a
2:05marathon, I completed a 5K, whatever it
2:08is. On the bank side, the money side,
2:10you say I made and I like profit, I
2:14invested, calendar, I spent.
2:17I work out.
2:19And then the people, now we're talking
2:21about I am surrounded and you also put I
2:24don't spend time with those people. This
2:28is how we set the vision. The trick is
2:31to do it in present tense [music] or
2:33past tense. What we never want to do is
2:35put it as future tense. Now step three
2:37is we grab all of this and we turn it
2:40into a vision board, visual
2:42representation of the life you're
2:43creating. And I'm going to give you the
2:45prompt that's going to make you generate
2:46the vision board based on what we've
2:47written down. I want to visualize what
2:49my life is going to look like in 6
2:50months from
2:54me for any gaps that might need to be
2:55there for context, then create a
2:57hyperrealistic image that puts me inside
3:00that life so that I can see myself
3:02living it every day. And the model's so
3:04good that you can actually feed it an
3:05image of yourself, you can actually make
3:07it real real. What I want you to do is
3:09save it as your desktop wallpaper on
3:12your laptop and anytime you open up your
3:13phone, you start working on your
3:15computer, ask yourself, how am I doing
3:17on that? I'm looking at this stuff three
3:19times a day meaningfully, like pausing
3:21and being there with it because I want
3:23to align all my actions to doing that
3:25work. Those 10 minutes will literally
3:27give you more clarity than you've
3:28probably had in the [music] last 10
3:30years. Now most people will just stop
3:32right here and just run with it, which
3:33would be awesome, but that's not what
3:35we're going to do. Knowing what you want
3:37is only half the job. Now we have to
3:39reverse engineer.
3:40Most people just do the work and they're
3:42like, I hope it gets me where I got to
3:44go. Hope is not a plan. And what we're
3:46going to do is we're going to flip it.
3:48We now have the end goal in sight. Now
3:50we got to work backwards from that to
3:52build a plan that actually makes sense.
3:54You can have all the hope in the world,
3:55but if you have the wrong strategy,
3:56ain't going to get you anywhere.
3:58This is what I call identity-based
4:00goals. So, identity-based goals is
4:02pretty much have,
4:06be,
4:07and do. Have is all the stuff we just
4:10talked about, the things that we said we
4:11want. Vision,
4:13things around the money we want, the
4:15relationships,
4:18the body, the bank, right? Where do we
4:20put money? This is the things that you
4:22want to have. These are your [music]
4:24goals. So, we got to ask ourselves, who
4:26do I need to be to have those things?
4:28And these are the things, these are the
4:29I am statements, right? You want to
4:31write down an athlete, if you want to
4:34work on your body. I remember that was a
4:35big thing I wrote down and then I
4:36started doing CrossFit. And the first
4:38workout I did, they were like, "Hey
4:39athletes, what's up?" And I was like,
4:40"Oh crap, I guess I became an athlete.
4:42I'm valuable. I am productive." The big
4:46one for some of you is, "I am an
4:48extrovert." You can be an introvert in
4:50moments, but you can also show up as an
4:52extrovert. Write it down. This is our
4:54identity. This is who I believe that I
4:56am, even if today I don't have any proof
4:58of it, I need to be there. But now we
5:00got to go to the habits, the things that
5:02the person that's being, that has those
5:05goals, what do they do? I'll tell you,
5:06things like, "I don't drink. I eat
5:10healthy." Our lives today are a
5:13reflection of decisions we made 6 months
5:15ago. That's why for me, the identity is
5:18a byproduct of our habits. You can have
5:21the vision to have a six-pack, but if
5:22you keep eating in the kitchen, you
5:24will never have abs. Two years ago, I
5:27realized that I was an Iron Man, I
5:29didn't look the part. I didn't look like
5:31I worked out. I didn't look fit. So, I
5:33woke up one day and decided, "I'm going
5:35to have visible abs." And I went on the
5:37journey, and it was hard. Even when I
5:39was doing it, I worried that it was
5:41never going to happen, but I stayed at
5:43it. Two years later, continue to
5:44maintain the same body weight because my
5:46identity shifted. Things that were
5:48habits are no longer habits once you
5:50adopt them as identity. So, now we have
5:52a vision of what we want to achieve and
5:54now we have a plan on how to get there.
5:55But, now we got to go to week two where
5:57we learn to delete.
5:58Here's my question for you. What's
6:00quietly holding you back from this
6:02stuff? Cuz you can't build a new life on
6:05top of the old one. We need to make room
6:07for you to be able to install these new
6:08things and you have to cut before you
6:10build. And there's two things quietly
6:13eating away at your time and it's found
6:15in your calendar and in your circle. So,
6:17the first thing we have to do is we have
6:19to avoid the dragon. And these are the
6:21things that are pulling you off track
6:23that are just so easy to reach. The app
6:26that's one tap away, the one glass of
6:28wine every night just to take the edge
6:30off. All these temptations around you
6:32that you can just remove to make them a
6:34little harder to reach for. You won't
6:36beat those with willpower. Willpower
6:38runs out. So, instead of continuing with
6:41that, we got to add some friction. We
6:43have to make it hard to do the wrong
6:45things. It is easier to avoid the dragon
6:48than to slay it. So, here's how you can
6:50do it for yourself. First thing, we have
6:52to log your time for the week. See, most
6:54people don't know where their time goes.
6:56So, what I like to do is be very precise
6:58and log every 15 minutes. Have a timer
7:00that goes off and write down, what did
7:02you do? What did you work on? And we got
7:04to audit our time. And we got to do that
7:06for a week. Now, we have a log of
7:08everything we did. Step two is to go
7:10back through each one and circle in red
7:14all the things that are pulling you back
7:16away from your goal and your vision. And
7:18then circle in green all the things that
7:20were pushing you and supporting your
7:22vision. If you said yes to joining a
7:24call with a bunch of other peers that
7:26are like you, that was supportive. If
7:28you answered a phone call from a friend
7:30that you met in high school that
7:32continues to complain all the time and
7:33you know they're going to complain, you
7:34answer the phone just so you can listen
7:35to them complain, that pulls you away.
7:37Just be honest with you. Does it support
7:40or does it subtract? Now, what we do is
7:42we take the list of everything that was
7:45pulling you away and we put it in a
7:47bucket and we build a plan. First off,
7:49we should cut it. Make it hard to
7:52access. If we can't, then we want to add
7:55some friction. I don't know if you've
7:56ever seen these like bricks that are
7:58like an NFC tag where you tap your phone
8:00and essentially if you tap it, it means
8:02you can't go to Instagram or any social
8:04media app that you set up until you come
8:05back and tap it again. It creates
8:07friction to make it hard for you to make
8:10decision. And look, I get it's easy to
8:12say but it's harder to do in practice.
8:14The best way to stay compliant is once
8:15you made these decisions, tell your
8:17friends, tell your wife, tell everybody,
8:19"These are my decisions. If you see me
8:20doing it, question me on it." Once you
8:22free up your time, the worst thing you
8:25do is go and waste it again. So, that's
8:26why I built the perfect week template
8:28that's made just for busy CEOs that are
8:30juggling their team, their family, their
8:32travel. So, if you're a CEO that
8:33struggles with this, just find me on
8:35Instagram and DM me the word YouTube
8:37week and I'll send it right over. But,
8:38your time is only half the battle. The
8:41bigger problem is who you're doing it
8:43with. Now, we got to delete some other
8:44stuff that are taking our time and those
8:46are the people. You want to run a friend
8:48inventory. You are the byproduct of who
8:51you spend the most time with and they
8:52quietly set your ceiling. The ceiling
8:54could be so much higher if you
8:56surrounded yourself with people that are
8:58more positive. We allow ourselves to be
9:00around folks that take our energy. They
9:02suck our time. I call them energy
9:04vampires. And then there's people in
9:06your life that you know, when you're
9:07around them, they energize you. They
9:09drive you. They push you. They support
9:11you. Those people are amplifiers. When I
9:14was 17, I made a bunch of bad decisions
9:19and I ended up in rehab for 11 months.
9:21Through that process, I learned a lot
9:23about myself but one of the most
9:25powerful things they asked us to do at
9:26the end was build a transition plan. The
9:28decision of who we were going to not see
9:31and remove out of our life and who we
9:33needed to add and even if we didn't know
9:34who those people were, what kind of
9:36people they were. And if I didn't do
9:38that, I'm telling you today, I wouldn't
9:40be here. This for me was life or death.
9:43That decision saved me at 17, and
9:45honestly, it's what scales founders at
9:4740. If your enemy put sugar in your
9:50water, that won't hurt as much as your
9:52friend accidentally putting poison in
9:54it. I call it a friend inventory, and
9:56here's how we run it. So, we got the
9:58traits, we got vampires, and amplifiers.
10:01What I'm going to ask you to do is
10:02first, we have to write down the traits
10:05of people that are aligned with your
10:06goals. The habits, the vibe of that
10:09person. First one I'm going to write
10:10down is positive. I'm going to write
10:12down driven.
10:14Financially successful.
10:15I'm going to write down kind. I love me
10:18a kind, driven person. [music] The
10:20second step is we want to list everyone
10:22you've spent a lot of time with over the
10:24last 60 days and make a list of them,
10:26cuz we're going to categorize them into
10:28one or two lists. On the left side, we
10:29have our vampires. These are energy
10:31suckers. These are the people that are
10:33always asking you for stuff, or even
10:35worse, when you share your wins with
10:36them, they make you feel bad about it.
10:38On the other side, we have the
10:39amplifiers. These are the people that
10:41pump you up. These are the ones that
10:42teach you things every time you talk to
10:44them. They're always introducing new
10:45ideas to you. I always want to be in
10:47somebody's amplifier side. And that's
10:49what I'm doing here for you right now.
10:50All the amplifiers will have the traits
10:52typically that you need to become, and
10:54you put those people on this side,
10:56because if you spend the most time with
10:58them, then you'll become like them. Then
10:59everybody else becomes a vampire. And
11:01this is a tough one, because a lot of
11:02the people on this list are probably
11:04going to be family members. They're
11:05going to be friends you've known for 20
11:06plus years. But I'm telling you, the
11:08decision to create some space and love
11:10them from a distance will change your
11:12life. And what we got to do is we got to
11:14adjust our time to spend less time with
11:16the vampires and more time with the
11:17amplifiers. And if you don't have
11:18anybody in this list, let's go find
11:20them. And the pro tip, do the same thing
11:22with your social media feed. My rule is
11:23this, if I saw the person in the mall,
11:25would I pretend not to see them? They're
11:27vampires. [laughter]
11:28Just do yourself a favor and unfollow
11:30them, unfriend them. You don't have to
11:31have them in your life because you sat
11:33next to them in grade seven. So, now
11:34that you've made all this room in your
11:35time, here comes the fun part. We got to
11:37fill it back up, but this time with the
11:39stuff that actually will change your
11:41life. Week number three, install.
11:44Now that you have a vision and you have
11:45a clear junk drawer because you cleaned
11:47it all out and only the good stuff is in
11:49there, now we got to build the new life.
11:50We got to start putting stuff in it that
11:52are going to support the dreams. The
11:54first thing we have to do is we have to
11:55set our thermostat. Every person has a
11:58thermostat for things they feel they are
12:00allowed to have in their life. And
12:02essentially, if it goes up or down, you
12:05put on too much weight or your bank
12:06account has too much money, you will
12:08react. It's kind of crazy because some
12:09people are like, "Oh, I'm all into
12:11visualization and positive mental
12:13attitude." I'm like, if I stuck you in a
12:15commercial-grade freezer, I don't care
12:16how much positive attitude you're going
12:18to have, you're going to feel cold. So,
12:19it's all about your environment. Just
12:21look at Lewis Hamilton, the F1 driver,
12:23seven-time world champion, one of the
12:25greatest ever, one of my favorite
12:27drivers. And he drove for Mercedes.
12:282025, he switches to Ferrari, and
12:31suddenly, he can't even win. He can't
12:33get a single podium. He called it his
12:35nightmare. Same driver, same talent,
12:38different environment. Now, he's turned
12:40it around since, but that's how much
12:42your environment matters. It can make an
12:44amazing talent great, or it can hold
12:46them back. And your space, your
12:48environment, shapes you way more than
12:49you think. Last week we talked about
12:51making the bad stuff hard to reach. This
12:53week we flip it and we make the good
12:55stuff easy. So, what we got to do is we
12:56got to design your space that does the
12:58work for you. Number one, we got to make
13:00the good stuff easy stuff, and we got to
13:02put it right in the path. So, for
13:03example, if you make a commitment, you
13:05want to go to the gym the next morning,
13:06grab all your stuff, put it right next
13:09to your bed so that when you wake up,
13:10you literally step into your gym
13:11clothes, step into your shoes, and you
13:13go to the gym. If you need to drink more
13:15water, you can preset your water jug the
13:17day before and have it on your desk, and
13:19you can make a commitment. You can set
13:21an alarm that goes off to remind you.
13:22You want to do something today that
13:24makes the decision of tomorrow super
13:26easy. And next, we have to upgrade our
13:28inputs. This goes back to the feed. I
13:30love to use my social media to feed my
13:32mind. I'm building an AI venture studio
13:34to a billion dollars. So, all of my feed
13:36is AI people talking about building
13:39billion-dollar companies. Anybody who's
13:40always complaining about things they
13:41can't control, guess what? I either mute
13:43them, unfollow them, and they just don't
13:45end up into my world. And number three
13:46is we have to surround ourselves with
13:48people who've already achieved the
13:49things we want. That is the ultimate
13:51hack. I don't care how rich you are, you
13:53get in a bigger room and you're the low
13:55person on the totem pole, you will
13:57naturally want to rise to the rest of
13:59the room. So, that's why you want to
14:00install good spaces, inputs, and people
14:04into your life. And here's a pro tip. If
14:05you're ever trying to get connected to
14:07somebody, instead of asking them for the
14:09thing, ask past them. Be like, "Hey, do
14:11you know anybody who could help me with
14:13X, Y, Z?" If they're open to it, they
14:15might say, "Well, I could. What do you
14:16need?" But if they're not, they'll just
14:17say, "Well, no, but I know this person
14:19can help." And that works really well.
14:21Nine times out of 10, they'll actually
14:22reply saying, "I can help. What do you
14:24need?" If you get this right, doing the
14:26right thing stops becoming hard. It
14:28doesn't need discipline, it doesn't need
14:29willpower, it just becomes automatic.
14:31But the perfect space, that environment
14:33without the right daily non-negotiables,
14:36will never work. So, we got to lock
14:37those in. Lock in your non-negotiables.
14:40One of the components of the coaching
14:42work I do with people is these five
14:44daily non-negotiables. And what I asked
14:46myself when I started that program is,
14:48"What are the things I could ask my
14:49clients to do every day that if they
14:51just did, whether they talked to me,
14:53showed up, studied, do the things that I
14:55was teaching them, would guarantee their
14:57success?" You remember those daily
14:59habits that we circled back in week one?
15:01Now, we need to make sure you stick with
15:02them for the long term. Because the one
15:03thing about habits, it's either we're
15:05doing them and our life is spiraling up,
15:07or there's a day where we skip it and we
15:09slowly spiral down. That's why I have a
15:11rule, I never skip the gym more than two
15:12days in a row. For years, I've never
15:14gone two days. One day of travel, no
15:16problem. Two days in a row, no, no, no.
15:19And that's the difference between people
15:20who can change and people who don't. If
15:22you can't build non-negotiables, then
15:24you don't have the foundation to push
15:26off of. But, how do you turn them from a
15:28habit to what I call a non-negotiable?
15:31Here's how we make them stick. First
15:33off, we have to pick the
15:34non-negotiables. These are one or two
15:35habits for each of the like mind, body,
15:38or business that we talked about in the
15:39do part of the identity-based goals.
15:41Two, we have to make sure we start with
15:43embarrassingly simple, small, easy wins.
15:46I'm talking about writing one page of
15:47your book or one short workout or one
15:50call to somebody you don't know. So
15:51small that you're just going to do it
15:53cuz it seems so simple. So, you're
15:54trying to build momentum. Number three
15:56is we're going to habit stack. We're
15:57going to attach each one of those
15:59non-negotiables to something you already
16:01do. So, for example, if you know you got
16:02to take your vitamins and you brush your
16:03teeth every day, you put the vitamins
16:05next to your toothbrush, so you tie the
16:07brushing of your teeth to taking your
16:08vitamins. I have a Kindle that's next to
16:10my hot tub, so every time I go in the
16:12hot tub, I read my Kindle. I make it
16:13really easy to do the right thing by
16:15making them non-negotiables. I'm
16:17installing those things into my life to
16:19make them super easy. And number four,
16:21one of my favorite things to do is
16:22create rewards and stakes for each one
16:24of them. As I mentioned, when I did
16:26Project Visible Apps, I had stakes on
16:29the line. If I didn't hit my goal, which
16:30is kind of crazy at the time, 90 days to
16:32lose 32 lbs, if I didn't hit it, I made
16:35a commitment to everybody that I would
16:37enter in a fitness competition as is.
16:40I'm talking no tan, [music] no shaving
16:42my chest, just straight up on stage in a
16:44mankini. Like, did not want to do that.
16:47Luckily, my desire to not show up on the
16:49internet having those photos exist was
16:51more than the pain it took to get
16:52visible abs. But, it's got to be
16:54something that costs you big time. And
16:56then the reward was a new supercar. I'll
16:58tell you, I did more to avoid the thing
17:00I didn't want than the thing I wanted.
17:02And I do this all the time. Even last
17:03year in my media company, me, Sam, and
17:05Todd, Todd runs it, says I'm a creative
17:07director, and myself, we had a goal, get
17:09to 8.8 million followers across all
17:11platforms on social media. If we don't,
17:13we put our Porsches on the line. We
17:15literally put our cars. And I will tell
17:17you, right up till the last day, it was
17:20a question mark if we were going to keep
17:22our cars. But it kept everybody aligned.
17:24The upside is I bought them some really
17:26cool Rolexes, but the downside was
17:28losing their car. And I'll tell you, for
17:29the three of us, we didn't want to lose
17:31our Porsche. So now everything is ready.
17:33We got the vision, we got the space, we
17:35got the habits, but this is exactly
17:37where most people completely fall off.
17:39So let's make sure that's not you. Week
17:41four, we track.
17:43How do you make sure that it actually
17:45sticks? You built the whole machine now,
17:47but this week is how you keep it running
17:48for 6 months. Setting it up is
17:51relatively easy. I said it was 3 weeks,
17:53but you could probably do it in like 45
17:54minutes. Sticking to it, that's where
17:56most people fall off. Most of the time
17:58it's because we don't track our
18:00progress. And if we don't track it, we
18:01don't keep score, we don't create
18:03momentum, it doesn't feel good. So we
18:04have to keep score.
18:06Most people don't quit because they
18:08fail. They quit because they can't see
18:10they're winning. They don't stop to look
18:12back at how much elevation they made as
18:14they've climbed that mountain or how
18:15much money they made in their business.
18:16They just see the massive gap between
18:18where they're at and where they want to
18:19be. So we have to keep score so that we
18:21can measure it because we can't manage
18:23what we don't measure. What gets
18:24measured gets managed. Seeing the proof
18:26stack up is what keeps you going and
18:28what motivates you. Those little tiny
18:30wins, those little daily habits that
18:32might feel super small. I'm telling you,
18:34if you do them for three, four, five,
18:35six days in a row, you'll feel so good
18:37about yourself. Do you know that most
18:38people have never gone to the gym for 8
18:40days in a row? They're like, I got to
18:42take a rest day. From what? You're not
18:44even sore. Now you're building momentum.
18:46Now you're feeling good. Now you're
18:47identity building. So here's how we keep
18:50score.
18:51We have to track.
18:53The first thing we have to do is we need
18:55a north star [snorts]
18:58metric. This is the one number that
19:01proves you're moving. This could be
19:03weight, this could be revenue, this
19:05could be the pages read, this could be
19:07the workouts done. But essentially, you
19:09log it, you measure it, you have it
19:11tracked. Not 20, [music] that one one.
19:14It's like the leading indicator of
19:16everything else. If you're making
19:17progress, everything falls into place.
19:19Then, we need a daily scorecard. This is
19:23where we can have other data points that
19:26we measure that are aligned, that are
19:28precursors, that are activities that
19:30make this easier. And we want to put it
19:32into a spreadsheet, and we want to do it
19:34the same time every day, no exceptions.
19:37I like to put it in my calendar. At the
19:40end of my day, I log in, it's the last
19:41thing I do, and I update my scorecard
19:43for the activity that I was doing for
19:45that day that's aligned with my goals.
19:47And then lastly, we have to do a weekly
19:51check it. This is where you review and
19:53you see if you're making progress, cuz
19:55if you're not, this is your opportunity
19:57to make feedback. Every Friday, the last
19:59thing I do on Friday is to review my
20:00week to then adjust my next week based
20:02on my calendar, based on my time, based
20:04on my energy. What do I need to install
20:05that's aligned with tracking? Then I
20:07choose the one or two moves for the
20:09following week, not 15, and I install
20:12them into my week. That process will
20:14make it so inevitable. Now, here's a pro
20:16tip, cuz I've done this several times in
20:18my life. You share this progress
20:20publicly. I'm talking 75 Hard, post the
20:23photo. Iron Man training, post the
20:25photo. Project Visible Abs, post the
20:26videos. Make it so that you can't hide.
20:29Make it this is non-negotiable, this is
20:31what we're doing, this is the strategy,
20:33and I'm going to make it public. Cuz
20:34guess what? Sunlight sanitizes all
20:37things. Sanitizes bad habits, it
20:38sanitizes willpower. It will make sure
20:41that you got what you need to win this
20:42time. If you do this for 6 months and
20:44you stack those wins, you will wake up
20:47to a completely different life. So,
20:49that's the plan. Edit. We have to
20:51envision, we have to delete, we have to
20:52install, and now we have to track. 4
20:54weeks to set you up for the next 6
20:56months. But here's the twist that nobody
20:58sees coming. The loop. This isn't a
21:00one-time thing. It's something that you
21:02set up over the next 4 weeks that you
21:04live for the next 6 months, and then you
21:06run it again. You start from envision.
21:08Now, we need to delete. You go to
21:10install, and then you find the new
21:12track, and you do it over and over and
21:15over. But, this time you want to dream
21:16even bigger. You want to ask yourself
21:18what more you can do. Who do you need to
21:19become? A life well-lived is
21:21well-examined. And this allows you to
21:23examine it so you can get better. Don't
21:25wait till New Year's Eve because the
21:27calendar was never the point. You just
21:29start. 6 months is 6 months. Let's start
21:32today and change your life. So, here's
21:34my ask. Leave a comment and let me know
21:36what's the first thing you're going to
21:38delete this week. Write it below in the
21:40comments. And remember, if you want my
