I’ve noticed a pattern—I rush through tasks, even when I know deep down they require more focus. This week, I reflect on what it really means to stay disciplined while honoring the pace true learning demands.
I’ve noticed a pattern—I rush through tasks, even when I know deep down they require more focus. This week, I reflect on what it really means to stay disciplined while honoring the pace true learning demands.
After a tough stretch, I’m finally back on track. I’ve restarted my studying and training on a new schedule. It’s an adjustment, but one that’s already paying off—especially when it comes to enjoying life without guilt. Here’s how the first week of my new plan has gone.
One week into testing a new schedule, I reflect on unexpected setbacks — illness, injury, and the challenge of staying disciplined through it all. This is a raw look at adjusting systems and showing up anyway.
After a week of recovering from illness, I’m testing a new routine — adjusting my sleep schedule to balance discipline, personal growth, and my love for football. This 30-day experiment is all about intentional lifestyle design.
Even the most disciplined lifestyle needs space to reset. In this post, I share how I intentionally take breaks — no workouts, no study, guilt-free meals — to recharge, reflect, and return stronger to my Two-Pillar path.
Not everyone can turn their passion into a paycheck — and that's okay. In this post, I explore what it means to fund your passion with your job, how to explore new paths while working full time, and what to do if you're unsure where your passion even lies.
As I near the end of my health pillar, I’ve felt resistance, self-doubt, and emotional setbacks. But I’ve stayed disciplined, and now it’s time to push through, cross that finish line, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
I've never seen myself as naturally creative — but lately, I'm curious to explore that side. In this post, I share why I’m considering video editing as my next pillar, how IT work taps into creativity, and why a side gig could be both fulfilling and practical.
Living the Two-Pillar Life starts with clarity. In this post, I break down my current pillars—health and Cisco certifications—why I chose them, how I define success, and how I stay focused without getting overwhelmed. If you’re unsure where to start, this post is for you.
I used to start things constantly and never finish. Now I commit to just two meaningful goals each day — and it's transformed my focus, consistency, and results. If you’re feeling scattered or stuck, this post will show you how less really can be more.
Is discipline waking up at 5am or just doing what matters most every day? This post explores what true discipline looks like, how it shows up differently in different seasons, and why it's a practice—not a punishment.
What happens when discipline falters and a day slips away? In this reflection, I explore guilt, grace, and how to move forward when your two pillars go untouched. A reminder that rest is part of rhythm.
I recently passed the Cisco CCNA exam on my very first attempt, and it wasn’t by luck. In this post, I share my full strategy: the free study resources I relied on, how I tackled labs and practice tests, and how I used tools like ChatGPT to reinforce my learning. If you're studying for the CCNA or thinking about starting, this is for you.
Ever feel like the day slips away before you’ve done anything meaningful? In this post, I share how I flipped my schedule and took back control—by focusing on my two most important goals before noon. Practical, doable, and powerful.
