Episode notes

Taking a month off seemed like a good idea until I tried to start again. I realized I was paying a "Restart Tax" I couldn't afford.

In this episode, I’m getting honest about why I fell off the wagon, the cognitive load of re-entry, and why your "maintenance mode" is actually a trap. If you’ve been struggling to get back to a project, a habit, or a dream.... this is your wake-up call.

What we cover:

  • The 3 hidden costs of the Restart Tax.
  • Why "getting back on track" is harder than staying on it.
  • The exact strategy I used to record this episode today.
