Your competition is weak. Now is the time to strike
Your competition is weak
They wake up, lay in bed for 45 minutes, then grab their phone and scroll for another hour
They walk to the kitchen, attempt to make breakfast, but then end up scrolling 80% of the time
They sit at their desk ready to work, but end up scrolling and watching videos for the next 2 hours
The time they spend not doom scrolling is spent being bitter and angry at anyone accomplishing anything
They’re completely incapable of getting off the dopamine treadmill
They will accomplish nothing special in their lives.
They are born, chase dopamine hits, then die
If the above matches the description of your day, you’re wasting your existence
If the above doesn’t match your day, and you’re able to actively focus for more than 15 minutes, you are winning. You are going to beat your competition
Now if you’re a part of the rare .01% who can focus for an hour+ a day, you are going to accomplish more than you can imagine.
The single most difficult thing anyone can do in 2025 is focus. Everything around us is designed to grab and hold our attention
Focus is nearly impossible for most. Even people who has supposedly “made it”
I’ve been on retreats with people who you’d think have it all figured out. They spend the entire retreat doom scrolling on their phone. Their dopamine receptors completely fried. Their position completely up for the taking.
If you are going down the wrong path and are completely incapable of avoiding the doom scroll trap throughout the day here is my challenge to you:
Tomorrow when you wake up don’t touch your phone
Go for a 10 minute walk, get some sun in your eyes
Do 10 pushups
Write for 10 minutes
Then sit down and get some work done
This should only take an hour. If you’re able to do this every day for a year, that’s over 2 weeks worth of deep work you’ve created out of nowhere.
Think of how much 365 hours of deep work would change your life. That’s more than enough to build a product with AI that makes you money,
If you’re able to do all of this, I personally guarantee you’ll accomplish more than 99.9% of people in this world
Your competition has never been weaker. Now is the time to strike. Now is the time to lock in and actually get shit done.
Most won’t be able to take this challenge because the temptation of sitting on your couch and staring at your phone for 2 hours will be too difficult to pass up on
But if you’re one of the few to do it, I promise you’ll win

I love this article. I really needed to hear its message because I am one of those time-wasters. Not on any devices, but on cleaning, organizing, and creating. It may not sound bad but it really is because I use these things as an excuse to not have to work on what I should be working on. Which is creating my new app. Or writing the book I've always wanted too.
.01% who can focus for an hour is a little extreme 😆 pretty sure I’d make millions a year if that’s how few of us could hahah
