This week we kill the drag.

Drag is everything in your environment pulling you backward. The people. The places. The patterns. The invisible weight you've been carrying that you barely notice anymore.

Here's what nobody tells you about willpower: It's finite.

Every time you resist scrolling. Every time you push through a bad environment. Every time you work in a space designed for distraction—you're spending willpower. And when it runs out, you lose.
