You ever look up from your phone and wonder, “Where the hell did the last hour go?!”
You sat down to work.
You had momentum.
You were ready to build.
But now you're deep in someone else's behind-the-scenes.
Scrolling tutorials.
Watching highlights.
Consuming content that leaves you inspired for five seconds and drained for the next fifty minutes.
You were supposed to be creating something.
Instead, you’re watching someone else’s process while yours collects dust.
We’ve all been there.
And for a lot of creators, that’s where the story ends.
Buried in content.
Stuck in comparison.
Wasting time that was meant for building something real.
But a few creators don’t just break that cycle. They turn it into a mission.
