If you want to change your life in 2026—like really, seriously, no bullshit, actually change your life—do this:
Step 1: Write down everything you care about.
Step 2: Arrange the list from most important to least important.
Step 3: Cross out everything but the top 3 things.
Step 4: Re-organize everything you do around those three things.

What is 1 action that is of the greatest impact you want to achieve in 2026 John?
Well?
Values Clarity: Discipline is effortless when actions align with your authentic values. The real work is identifying what truly matters to you, rather than pursuing goals you think you should care about.
