INSIGHT

Why Ambition Feels Stalled

  • Goal displacement happens when your daily actions drift away from your long-term goals without you noticing.
  • This drift isn't laziness or distraction but a failure to align weekly routines with year-to-decade objectives.
ANECDOTE

Decades Stuck On The Same Week

  • Rían tells Derek's story: decades of working on a PhD with no meaningful progress.
  • Derek wasn't lazy or unclear; his weekly actions simply didn't bridge to his long-term goal.
ADVICE

Run A 90-Minute Weekly Ritual

  • Run a 90-minute weekly Goal Flywheel session to lock your brain onto your priorities.
  • Use it to neuro-prime your goals on Sunday so flow states become automatic Monday–Friday.
