I almost didn’t write this

You’re reading this because I gave up on the wifi.

Third time in three weeks it’s gone down. Intermittent, no obvious cause, and it eats an hour of my morning before it decides to work again unexplainably.

It happened again today, so I stopped trying to fix it and wrote this instead.

It’s not the most polished email I’ve sent. It’s not the longest. But it’s shipped.

Honestly, my first instinct was to skip the newsletter today. I’d already lost the morning, I still have 40 items on my to-do list, and countless emails and DMs in the backlog from the weekend.

But instead of excusing myself I set a timer for 15 minutes, turned on my writing flow state and knocked this out instead. It’s not my best work but it’s out, which makes it infinitely better than the polished one still sitting in drafts. 

Published beats polished. Performed beats postponed. Flow state on demand for the win.

The wifi will come back on in an hour or so. It always does. By then this email will find its way into your inbox, I’ll already be on to the next thing, and I’ll get back to fighting with the router once the important stuff is done.

To your next level of momentum, meaning, and mastery,

Jason Schneider

P.S. If you want to get better at sitting down and producing on the days the conditions aren’t cooperating, that’s exactly what we work on in our small-group cohort. If you’d like to be considered for the next one, you can apply to join us here.

PPS. If you’re in South Florida we still have a few complimentary tickets remaining for next week’s café event on Stepping into Flow States of Peak Performance on Command.
