Get your kill for the day.

I wake up every morning with anxiety — a gnawing sense of dissatisfaction.

It doesn’t matter how great yesterday was… it’s always just there.

For a while, I thought something was wrong with me.

But after ​our podcast with bestselling author, Steven Pressfield​, I realized:

I’m just a caveman. And I haven’t made my kill yet.

Back then, if you didn’t hunt — you didn’t eat.And that pressure? It was real.

Today, it’s not a spear I carry — it’s a to-do list.But the instinct is the same.

Until I’ve done the one thing that matters —the meaningful thing that moves the needle —I feel off.

So here’s the system I’ve adopted:

Every night, I answer one question:

What’s my kill for tomorrow?

One clear, meaningful task.

Then in the morning, before I do anything else, I go hunt.

No phone. No distractions.

Once that’s done? The rest of the day feels like dessert.

So this week, I have a challenge for you:

Before you go to bed tonight, write down your “kill” for tomorrow.

Wake up, lock in, and don’t come back empty-handed.
