Could you share your advice on maintaining consistency to reach your goals?
I minimize friction at every step. I don’t start with the hardest part of my day; I begin with the easiest tasks—right now that’s responding to community questions, which is low effort and wakes me up. After 30‑45 minutes I’ve completed the highest‑ROI part of my day, then I move on to harder tasks and get into flow. I prioritize the most important work in the first couple of hours and keep friction low. I treat it as a daily habit rather than a weekly one, which aligns with the neurobiological basis of habit formation and our circadian rhythms. Doing the same things at the same time each day builds consistency and improves performance over time.
I stay consistent by simply showing up every day and doing roughly the same routine each morning. I didn’t see huge results on day one; it took me about 20‑30 days to start seeing real progress. It takes time for the brain and body to adapt to a new habit, so don’t expect day‑one performance to be your forever level. By day 300 my output is roughly a hundred times what it was on day one, which shows that consistency pays off.
I wake up between 5 and 6 a.m., letting nature wake me instead of an alarm to avoid adrenaline spikes. First I check my higher‑ticket community (Make Money with Make) and respond to any recent activity—either writing text posts with Aqua dictation or recording custom Loom videos that solve members’ problems. I repeat the same process for the Maker School community, which usually has more roast requests because it’s larger and full of beginners. After that I take a call—either a community call, a coaching session, or a sales call—usually between 8 and 9 a.m.; if it’s at 8 I sometimes get cut off, but at 9 I can finish my prep work beforehand. Once the call ends I’m warmed up and I record the daily updates video. After the video, if I have content for the main channel I film it, then the rest of the day is agency work: reviewing new LeftClick clients, drafting proposal templates, recording Loom videos for prospects, discussing strategy with my business partner Noah, and working with a developer on our website revamp. I finish the day with lower‑value tasks. I order my workflow this way because I start with the activities that generate the most revenue and move down to those that earn less, ensuring I always hit the high‑impact items first.
Rather than strict time-boxing, structure your schedule by front-loading your highest-ROI, nearest-to-revenue tasks first and taking as long as needed to complete them. For instance, replying to community comments in Maker School directly drives retention, revenue, and goodwill, so it is completed first thing every morning.
To speed up execution over time, record yourself completing a recurring task, review the footage to strip out wasted effort, and establish a realistic 'ideal time' benchmark. Track your time daily as a KPI until you consistently reach that benchmark.
The key to productivity is productizing your daily schedule—repeating the exact same core high-value actions every day so you build speed and mastery, rather than constantly switching between contextually different tasks.

I’m not naturally organized and often let tasks slip through the cracks—I’ll forget things for weeks and have to reshuffle my to‑do list constantly. Even with more money and the ability to delegate, I still struggle to stay on top of daily work. I try to improve my systems, but at the end of the day I’m just figuring it out like anyone else.
