ANECDOTE

Spontaneous Pennsylvania Reset

  • Chris and Lori took an impromptu fall weekend in Pennsylvania that felt like a movie scene with fires, a T-bird, and a fox hunt.
  • The spontaneous trip unexpectedly filled their souls and became a powerful reset for both of them.
INSIGHT

Opposite Action Creates Breakthroughs

  • Sometimes doing the opposite of what feels most important produces breakthroughs instead of more of the same.
  • Working more from empty tanks only yields checked boxes, not meaningful progress.
ADVICE

Schedule Nonnegotiable Pattern Interrupts

  • Intentionally schedule pattern interrupts so you show up even when they feel inconvenient.
  • Treat pre-booked travel or events as nonnegotiable recharges to avoid working from empty tanks.
