I’m Playing the Next 74 Days of My Life on “Nightmare Mode”
How and why I’m doing whatever it takes to turn my dream life into reality
“Winter Arc,” “Monk Mode,” “Hustle Season” — whatever you call it, that’s what this is. Except that standing above all of those (in difficulty, psychotic-ness, all-around effed-up-ness), we have…Nightmare Mode.
It just so happens that Christmas Eve is now 74 days away at the time of writing, and you won’t see me before then.
Not unless you’re at the gym, the library, or maybe the grocery store, except one of my next hires for my business/life is going to be a personal grocery shopper, that’s for damn sure.
I literally can’t spare the 45 minutes a week it takes me to go get groceries.
All my time, focus, attention — all my OBSESSION — is going toward the accomplishment of a variety of challenging (yet meaningful) goals I’ve set for myself between now and Christmas.
There are just too many damn distractions, man, and I’m not going to submit to them any more. Enough is enough, and I’m deploying the nuclear option because my goals are that important to me. Some will understand, hopefully you do. And if so, I hope this article will be helpful to you as I lay out my plan, let you in on what’s coming, what I’m moving toward, etc.
