We just saw one of our favorite podcasters, Chris Williamson, live on stage.

He shared a discipline hack that we'll never forget...

When faced with temptation of any kind, he asks himself one simple question:

What would the me in 24 hours want me to do?

We call it The 24-Hour Rule.

We've been trying it ever since... and it actually works.

Here’s why: it puts you in an objective state.

You step outside the BS story in your head and see yourself like a friend.

You stop judging. You just do what future-you needs.

Want to skip the gym? Hit snooze? Eat the late-night snack?

The current you might feel satisfied...

but the 24-hour you would be disappointed.

So today, live for tomorrow-you.

And do one thing they'll be proud of.
