The Exact Protocol (Copy This)
Here’s the 20-minute exercise that started everything:
STEP 1: Choose Your Problem (1 minute)
Pick one specific challenge you’re facing right now. Not “I want to be successful.” Something concrete: “I need to find $50K in funding” or “I need to figure out how to have a difficult conversation with my boss” or “I need to decide whether to leave my job.”
STEP 2: Set Your Timer (20 minutes)
Phone. Stopwatch. Kitchen timer. Whatever. The time boundary is crucial—it creates urgency and prevents perfectionism.
STEP 3: Write “A Day in the Life—Six Months From Now” (18 minutes)
Write in present tense. Start with: “It’s [day of week] morning, six months from now. I’ve solved [your problem]. Here’s what today looks like:”
Then describe ONE full day in detail. Not your fantasy life. Just a regular Tuesday where you’re the person who’s already solved this thing.
Include:
What time you wake up (establishes the scene)
One specific problem you solve (shows your transformation)
What someone says to you (makes it real)
How you feel in your body (engages emotion)
What you notice that you didn’t notice before (this is key—it primes your RAS)
Don’t edit. Don’t judge. Don’t worry about writing quality. This isn’t literature. It’s neuroscience.
STEP 4: Close the Notebook (1 minute)
Read what you wrote once. Then close it. You’re done.
That’s it. That’s the whole exercise.
