I’ve done the diets. The strict ones, the flexible ones, the ones with phases and the ones with points. They all worked—for a while. Then they didn’t, and I was back where I started, sometimes worse.
The pattern was always the same: big effort, temporary results, eventual collapse. I kept thinking I needed to find the right diet. Eventually I wondered if the whole model was wrong.
Change through accumulation
I could have built a weekly digest. Or a searchable archive. Or a book. Any of those would be easier to make and easier to sell.
But none of them would work.
Change doesn’t happen in one big moment of clarity. It happens through accumulation. The same ideas, arriving from slightly different angles, until one day you notice you’re thinking differently about something you used to not think about at all.
The question isn’t whether today’s prompt will change anything. The question is what 365 of them will do.
I’ve been receiving my own prompts since I started building this. Most days I read, nod, move on. But something has shifted. I notice things I didn’t used to notice. That’s the whole game—and that’s why I send one thought a day, not a weekly summary.
