150 - 15 MINUTE MONDAYS!! CONGRATS TRIBE :-)

MOMENTO MORI! Would this still matter in 2125?
If not - ship it or scrap it.

In this episode I introduce one of the most powerful mental models for life, leadership, and business: The 100-Year Filter - a tool that strips away ego, urgency, and emotional noise so you can make decisions with clarity instead of reactivity.

I unpack why most people drown in short-term thinking, how temporal blindness fuels stress, and why leaders who think in centuries build trust, reputation, and alignment far faster than those who think in minutes.

You’ll learn an expanded 5-step framework that helps you audit your week, elevate your decisions, protect your integrity, and eliminate the tasks and tensions that don’t deserve your bandwidth. Whether you're a leader, creator, business owner, or someone rebuilding life on your own terms, this episode offers a long-term lens that changes everything.

✨ Key Takeaways

• How the 100-Year Filter eliminates emotional reactivity and short-term noise.
• Why most burnout isn’t workload - it’s temporal blindness.
• A 5-step framework to assess decisions through a century-level lens.
• How to build decisions that age well - not decisions that soothe the moment.
• Advanced long-term thinking strategies used by founders and elite leaders.
• How to protect your integrity horizon and avoid micro-compromises that damage your future.

Burnout isn’t too much work, it’s too little payoff per unit of effort.

In this episode of 15 Minute Mondays, I challenge the outdated belief that burnout is fixed by rest alone. The real problem isn’t your workload, it’s the structure behind it. You’ll learn how to redesign your day around energy cycles instead of clock time, using neuroscience-backed strategies that help you perform better, recover faster, and feel fulfilled again.

I break down the 3R Loop: Reduce, Reassign, Remove, to help you eliminate friction and focus on high-value work. You’ll also discover how to build a visible Win Ledger to reconnect your brain to progress and prevent emotional depletion before it starts.

This isn’t about doing less. It’s about designing smarter, so your energy fuels growth instead of survival.

Key Takeaways

• Why burnout stems from misaligned effort, not overwork.
• How to map and use your natural energy cycles for peak output.
• The 3R Loop to declutter work that drains your focus.
• How to use a Visible Win Ledger to create proof of progress and motivation.
• Advanced tools to align effort with meaning and protect long-term performance.
