You missed it — here’s the replay + the best takeaways from our recent live session
If you couldn’t make it live (because… life 😅), you’re not behind. You can catch the full recording below—and I pulled out the most useful “ohhhh THAT explains it” moments so you can get the highlights fast.
The quick highlights (with timestamps)
Here are the moments people usually rewind and rewatch:
1) The “try harder” trap (and why it backfires)
Around 12:05 — We dig into the myth that willpower is unlimited—and why “just push through it” is often a fast track to shame + burnout.
2) Hyperfocus isn’t a moral choice
Around 14:40 — Hyperfocus doesn’t show up because you “decided to be responsible.” It tends to show up when something is interesting, urgent, or emotionally charged—and we talk about what that means in real life.
3) Energy management beats time management
Around 21:15 — A super practical shift: stop trying to “time manage” like a robot. Instead, work in focused sprints and protect recovery (we talk about a 45-minute work rhythm + breaks).
4) ADHD is executive function—not motivation
Around 22:55 — One of the biggest reframes: it’s not about being “motivated enough.” It’s about how your executive function engines are running—and what helps them run better.
5) Your environment is either helping you… or hijacking you
Around 26:45 — We get really concrete about reducing friction and distractions (yes, including the phone ding problem), and building “external scaffolding” that makes follow-through easier.
The FastBraiin thread that ties it all together
A big theme of this session was shifting away from old narratives like:
-
“I’m lazy.”
-
“I just need to get disciplined.”
-
“I can do it when I want… so why can’t I do it now?”
…and replacing them with something more accurate (and more useful):
You have a FastBraiin. It’s powerful—but it needs the right setup.
That’s what this session is really about: less shame, more strategy.
Try this today (tiny changes, big wins)
If you want to apply what we covered immediately, start here:
-
Pick one friction point (messy workspace, too many tabs, phone within reach, unclear next step).
-
Remove one distraction (put phone out of sight, close extra tabs, clear the desk space you actually use).
-
Define the first “small win” (one page, one email, one 10-minute chunk).
-
Use a sprint (45 minutes focused + a real break).
You don’t need a total life overhaul. You need the right levers.
