La voz que dice &#8220;solo constr&#250;yelo&#8221; se vuelve m&#225;s fuerte. La voz que dice &#8220;primero averigua&#8221; se siente como dilaci&#243;n.</p><p>Quieres hacer lo dif&#237;cil. Quieres sentarte con los datos que contradicen tu visi&#243;n. Pero el impulso de saltarte pasos, de externalizar el pensamiento, de dejar que la IA maneje la parte inc&#243;moda&#8212;ese impulso gana m&#225;s a menudo de lo que te gustar&#237;a admitir.</p><p>El costo aparece despu&#233;s. Despu&#233;s de que has construido. Despu&#233;s de que has gastado el tiempo y el dinero.

Eso significa elegir el esfuerzo sobre el impulso cuando el impulso es m&#225;s fuerte&#8212;cuando saltarte la investigaci&#243;n se siente eficiente, cuando dejar que la IA haga el pensamiento se siente inteligente, cuando construir r&#225;pido se siente como impulso.</p><p>En nuestra &#250;ltima reflexi&#243;n (<a href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/p/la-cultura-de-lanzar-en-una-semana">La Cultura De &#8220;Lanzar En Una Semana&#8221; Est&#225; Matando La Disciplina</a>), nombramos el problema: saltarse el pensamiento no ahorra tiempo, solo mueve el costo. Los katas de abajo entrenan tu capacidad para permanecer en la parte inc&#243;moda el tiempo suficiente para realmente saber qu&#233; est&#225;s construyendo. Cada uno toma 30-120 segundos. Juntos, construyen el m&#250;sculo que te permite elegir claridad sobre velocidad cuando importa.</p><p>Tambi&#233;n hay un segundo beneficio: evidencia. Cada vez que ejecutas un kata en lugar de ceder al impulso de salt&#225;rtelo, te pruebas a ti mismo que puedes soportar lo inc&#243;modo. Esa prueba se acumula.

You know the research matters. But every scroll reminds you someone else shipped yesterday, and here you are still mapping assumptions. The voice that says &#8220;just build it&#8221; gets louder. The voice that says &#8220;find out first&#8221; feels like stalling.</p><p>You want to do the hard thing. You want to sit with the data that contradicts your vision. But the impulse to skip ahead, to outsource the thinking, to let AI handle the uncomfortable part&#8212;that impulse wins more often than you&#8217;d like to admit.</p><p>The cost shows up later. After you&#8217;ve built. After you&#8217;ve spent the time and money. After the confidence you started with has turned into doubt about whether you actually know what you&#8217;re doing.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/foundations/understanding-your-context/context-overview?utm_source=paid_companion">Understanding Your Context</a> &#8212; Learn why your environment shapes what feels possible</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#127919; What You&#8217;re Training</h3><p>You are training self-control through deliberate discomfort. That means choosing effort over impulse when the impulse is loudest&#8212;when skipping the research feels efficient, when letting AI do the thinking feels smart, when building fast feels like momentum.</p><p>In our latest reflection (<a href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/p/launch-in-a-week-hype-culture-is?utm_source=paid-companion">Launch-in-a-Week Hype Culture is Killing Discipline</a>), we named the problem: skipping the thinking doesn&#8217;t save time, it just moves the cost. The katas below train your capacity to stay in the uncomfortable part long enough to actually know what you&#8217;re building. Each one takes 30-120 seconds. Together, they build the muscle that lets you choose clarity over speed when it matters.</p><p>There&#8217;s also a second benefit: evidence. Every time you run a kata instead of giving in to the skip-it impulse, you prove to yourself that you can endure the uncomfortable. That proof compounds. It becomes the confidence Abbey described&#8212;not the confidence of someone who hoped for the best, but the confidence of someone who did the work.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/foundations/building-your-foundation/designing-low-friction-routines?utm_source=paid_companion">Designing Low-Friction Routines</a> &#8212; Structure your environment to support the hard choice</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9889; The Katas</h3><p>Katas are short, named practices. Each one takes 30&#8211;120 seconds. Practice them on easy days so they&#8217;re automatic when stress hits.</p><div><hr></div><h4>1&#65039;&#8419; The Assumption Log</h4><p>This kata trains judgment pause. Use it when you feel certainty about what users need before you&#8217;ve asked them. You will notice the gap between what you think you know and what you actually know.</p>

Alguien que lanz&#243; un SaaS en 48 horas usando IA. Alguien que pas&#243; de la idea al producto en una semana y ya est&#225; hablando de qu&#233; sigue. El contenido est&#225; en todas partes y el mensaje es consistente: las herramientas son tan buenas ahora que la parte dif&#237;cil b&#225;sicamente se ha ido. Solo usa prompts para llegar a un producto.</p><p>Quiero hablar sobre lo que esta cultura realmente le est&#225; ense&#241;ando a la gente.</p><p>Porque aqu&#237; est&#225; la cosa: el enfoque impulsado por el hype s&#237; funciona a veces, seamos honestos. Hay productos liderados por fundadores que tuvieron &#233;xito enteramente por la visi&#243;n del fundador, la velocidad y la suerte. As&#237; que no estoy aqu&#237; para decirte que lanzar r&#225;pido siempre est&#225; mal. De lo que estoy aqu&#237; para hablar es de qu&#233; sucede cuando saltar el pensamiento se convierte en lo predeterminado, cuando se convierte en h&#225;bito, cuando la gente deja de hacer el trabajo no porque tomaron una decisi&#243;n estrat&#233;gica de moverse r&#225;pido, sino porque todo a su alrededor les est&#225; diciendo que el trabajo ya no es necesario.</p><p>Y lo veo constantemente. Dirijo un curso gratuito para personas que quieren convertirse en fundadores de apps y dos grupos muy diferentes de personas me est&#225;n encontrando ahora mismo. El primer grupo tiene hambre de lo real. Han estado perdidos en el ruido, el hype de lanzar-en-una-semana, los MVPs construidos con IA llenos de bugs y mala UX, las historias de &#233;xito de la noche a la ma&#241;ana, y algo en ellos sabe que no cuadra. Quieren entender c&#243;mo funciona realmente el desarrollo de productos. Quieren hacer la investigaci&#243;n. Est&#225;n dispuestos a ir m&#225;s lento porque entienden que ir m&#225;s lento (&#161;un poco!) ahora significa no tener que reconstruir desde cero en seis meses.</p><p>El segundo grupo es m&#225;s dif&#237;cil de ayudar. Llegan queriendo que la IA haga todo. No para asistir su pensamiento, sino para reemplazarlo por completo. Su primera pregunta suele ser alguna versi&#243;n de &#8220;&#191;Puedo simplemente usar IA para esta parte?&#8221; Y lo entiendo, porque las herramientas son genuinamente impresionantes y la promesa es tentadora. Pero aqu&#237; est&#225; lo que he aprendido observando a ambos grupos: Si la IA hace la investigaci&#243;n por ti, va a producir el mismo resultado que produce para todos los dem&#225;s que hicieron la misma pregunta. Terminas con el mismo producto, el mismo posicionamiento, las mismas conclusiones que todos los dem&#225;s que externalizaron su pensamiento. No hay diferenciaci&#243;n. No hay comprensi&#243;n real de tu usuario. Solo hay un camino muy r&#225;pido para construir algo que nadie necesitaba... o puedes tener suerte y explotar, como todas esas historias de &#233;xito que ves en YouTube.</p><p>Lo que la cultura del hype no te dice, sin embargo, es que saltar el pensamiento en realidad no ahorra tiempo. Solo mueve el costo a otro lugar. Si lanzas sin saber qui&#233;nes son tus usuarios y si tus suposiciones sobre ellos son verdaderas, pasar&#225;s meses despu&#233;s tratando de encontrar el ajuste producto-mercado que podr&#237;as haber construido desde el principio. Si crees que la fase de investigaci&#243;n se siente lenta, solo espera hasta que tengas que reconstruir. La fase de reconstrucci&#243;n es mucho m&#225;s lenta. Y mucho m&#225;s cara.</p><p>La mayor&#237;a de las personas que quieren construir algo llegan a mi curso ya en modo soluci&#243;n. Las funcionalidades est&#225;n mapeadas, la visi&#243;n es clara, y lo &#250;ltimo que quieren hacer es ir m&#225;s lento. Ese sentimiento es completamente comprensible. Pero debajo de la emoci&#243;n, si eres honesto contigo mismo, generalmente hay otra voz. La que pregunta: &#191;qu&#233; pasa si paso todo este tiempo y dinero construyendo esto y nadie lo quiere?</p><p>Esa voz es disciplina. Y la cultura del hype es muy buena para gritar m&#225;s fuerte y ahogar ese buen sentido que la gente alguna vez tuvo.</p><p>La verdad inc&#243;moda sobre hacer el pensamiento primero es que podr&#237;a decirte algo que no quieres escuchar. Tus suposiciones podr&#237;an estar equivocadas. El problema que pensabas que estabas resolviendo podr&#237;a ya estar resuelto. Los usuarios que pensabas que entend&#237;as podr&#237;an querer algo completamente diferente de lo que ten&#237;as en mente. Uno de mis estudiantes describi&#243; elegir escuchar esa voz como tener que &#8220;dar un paso, o varios pasos, hacia atr&#225;s, respirar y comprometerse a hacer la investigaci&#243;n con el reconocimiento de que mi idea original podr&#237;a no ser la correcta.&#8221;</p><p>Ese reconocimiento requiere verdadera disciplina. No la rutina, no el ajetreo, solo la disposici&#243;n de permanecer en la parte inc&#243;moda el tiempo suficiente para descubrir qu&#233; es realmente cierto antes de comprometerte a construir. La cultura del hype existe en parte porque le da a la gente permiso para saltar ese sentimiento inc&#243;modo por completo. Solo constr&#250;yelo y desc&#250;brelo. Pero descubrirlo despu&#233;s de haberlo construido es una lecci&#243;n mucho m&#225;s cara.</p><p>Aqu&#237; es realmente donde me opongo m&#225;s fuertemente al enfoque IA-primero. Cuando un estudiante pregunta c&#243;mo hacer que la IA haga la investigaci&#243;n temprana para poder profundizar en el proceso m&#225;s r&#225;pido, mi respuesta suele ser: no aqu&#237;. No en esta etapa. Esta etapa establece la fundaci&#243;n para todo lo que viene despu&#233;s. Cuando dejas que la IA decida qu&#233; mostrar y qu&#233; parece importante, pierdes el control sobre el juicio en el que se construir&#225; todo el producto. La IA tiende a decirte lo que quieres escuchar e incluso si le has dado instrucciones de desafiarte y ser creativa, al dejar la investigaci&#243;n temprana a la IA, puede sesgar inadvertidamente hacia el problema equivocado. Puede mostrar compartir fotos como un problema clave del usuario porque la gente habla mucho de eso pero luego perder completamente el hecho de que los usuarios ya tienen cinco soluciones para eso. No est&#225; tratando de hacer un buen trabajo, no entiende qu&#233; significa trabajo &#8220;bueno&#8221;. Est&#225; tratando de darte una respuesta que suene &#250;til. Y en esta etapa, lo que realmente necesitas es algo que te ayude a descubrir d&#243;nde est&#225;s equivocado, no confirmar d&#243;nde crees que est&#225;s en lo correcto.</p><p>Hacer la investigaci&#243;n t&#250; mismo, con tu propio juicio, antes de entregar cualquier parte a una herramienta o un atajo, esa es la fuerza de voluntad que necesitas. Y lo que este tipo de acci&#243;n produce no es solo una mejor estrategia de producto. Es el tipo de confianza que realmente se sostiene. No la confianza de alguien que lanz&#243; r&#225;pido y esper&#243; lo mejor, sino la confianza de alguien que hizo el trabajo inc&#243;modo de descubrir si su idea era real antes de comprometerse a construirla. Como un estudiante lo expres&#243; despu&#233;s de pasar por ese proceso: &#8220;Tengo una estrategia respaldada por investigaci&#243;n para mi app. Conozco el espacio del problema, qui&#233;nes son mis usuarios y qu&#233; necesitan. Estoy avanzando con confianza.&#8221;</p><p>Hay un concepto al que sigo volviendo con mis estudiantes, que es saber qu&#233; est&#225;s saltando. Los fundadores que lanzan r&#225;pido y ganan generalmente no est&#225;n saltando el pensamiento accidentalmente. Saben exactamente qu&#233; est&#225;n saltando y han tomado una decisi&#243;n deliberada al respecto. Eso es muy diferente de saltarlo porque todos los que ves en YouTube te est&#225;n diciendo que el pensamiento es opcional. Uno es intencional. El otro es solo evitaci&#243;n que se siente como eficiencia porque todos a tu alrededor est&#225;n haciendo lo mismo.</p><p>Me encanta esta cita de una de mis estudiantes cuando me estaba contando qu&#233; gan&#243; al tomar mi curso: &#8220;F&#225;cilmente habr&#237;a pasado m&#225;s tiempo y dinero en programaci&#243;n por vibra y construyendo lo que pens&#233; que ser&#237;a un prototipo simple para poder probarlo. Al final, el tiempo, el esfuerzo y los costos iniciales habr&#237;an sido mucho m&#225;s caros si hubiera terminado construyendo la soluci&#243;n equivocada.&#8221; Tuve otro estudiante cuya idea entera se desmoron&#243; despu&#233;s de que se dio cuenta de que aunque el problema que quer&#237;a resolver s&#237; existe verdaderamente, y la gente se queja ruidosamente de &#233;l, todos ten&#237;an soluciones que m&#225;s o menos funcionaban y no quer&#237;an tener que pagar por una app para resolver el problema por ellos. Su autocontrol al pausar para hacer la investigaci&#243;n antes de construir, y honestamente tambi&#233;n despu&#233;s de hacer esa investigaci&#243;n su vulnerabilidad al admitir que la gente no quiere su idea, lo salv&#243;.</p><p>El costo real del enfoque de lanzar-en-una-semana no es solo que podr&#237;as construir lo equivocado. Es que no sabr&#225;s que construiste lo equivocado hasta que ya hayas pagado por ello. Y para entonces el costo no es solo dinero. Son los meses que pasaste construyendo. Es la idea que m&#225;s te emocionaba. Es la confianza de que realmente podr&#237;as hacer esto. Una estudiante lo dijo claramente: &#8220;Al final, el tiempo, el esfuerzo y los costos iniciales habr&#237;an sido mucho m&#225;s caros si hubiera terminado construyendo la soluci&#243;n equivocada.&#8221; Estaba hablando de un prototipo que casi construy&#243; antes de hacer la investigaci&#243;n. Y esta era una ingeniera m&#243;vil altamente experimentada que ha estado alrededor del proceso de desarrollo de productos durante toda su carrera. Para ella, construir es f&#225;cil y muchos ingenieros caen en esta trampa. Deciden construir sus ideas sin practicar auto-restricci&#243;n porque para ellos construir es f&#225;cil y r&#225;pido.</p><p>A menudo debemos elegir el camino que es dif&#237;cil y lento.</p><p>La disciplina en este contexto no significa hacer cada paso cada vez. Significa saber cu&#225;les son los pasos. Significa entender cu&#225;l de tus suposiciones podr&#237;a hundirte si resulta estar equivocada. Significa ser honesto contigo mismo sobre lo que realmente sabes versus lo que esperas que sea verdad. Y significa hacer el trabajo inc&#243;modo de descubrirlo antes de comprometerte a construir.</p><p>Y cuando alguien realmente tiene la disciplina de hacer el trabajo, puedes escucharlo en c&#243;mo hablan de su producto. Suena menos como emoci&#243;n y m&#225;s como claridad. En lugar de &#8220;&#161;Tengo esta gran idea para una app que a todos les encantar&#225;!&#8221; los escuchas decir &#8220;Tengo una estrategia respaldada por investigaci&#243;n para mi app. Conozco el espacio del problema, qui&#233;nes son mis usuarios y qu&#233; necesitan. Estoy avanzando con confianza.&#8221;</p><p>Esa confianza no es la confianza de alguien que lanz&#243; r&#225;pido y esper&#243; lo mejor. Es la confianza de alguien que eligi&#243; hacer lo m&#225;s dif&#237;cil primero. Y eso es realmente c&#243;mo se ve la disciplina en este espacio. No la velocidad, no el resultado, solo la disposici&#243;n de permanecer en la parte inc&#243;moda el tiempo suficiente para realmente saber qu&#233; est&#225;s construyendo y por qu&#233;.</p><p>Mi mensaje es bastante simple: En este nuevo mundo impulsado por IA, de lanzar-en-una-semana, ahora m&#225;s que nunca la autodisciplina es una de las mejores habilidades que puedes cultivar para el &#233;xito a largo plazo. Haz la investigaci&#243;n t&#250; mismo. Si&#233;ntate con hallazgos que contradigan lo que esperabas que fuera verdad. No externalices tu juicio en el momento exacto en que tu juicio importa m&#225;s.</p><div><hr></div><p>Gracias, Abbey, por compartir estas ideas con nosotros.</p><p>Uno de los pasajes que m&#225;s reson&#243; conmigo fue:</p><blockquote><p>Esa confianza no es la confianza de alguien que lanz&#243; r&#225;pido y esper&#243; lo mejor. Es la confianza de alguien que eligi&#243; hacer lo m&#225;s dif&#237;cil primero. Y eso es realmente c&#243;mo se ve la disciplina en este espacio. No la velocidad, no el resultado, solo la disposici&#243;n de permanecer en la parte inc&#243;moda el tiempo suficiente para realmente saber qu&#233; est&#225;s construyendo y por qu&#233;.</p></blockquote><p>Reson&#243; porque se alinea mucho con las ideas que comparto a trav&#233;s de este newsletter. Tal vez no a primera vista, pero si lo piensas, lo que estas l&#237;neas dicen, y tal vez Abbey puede confirmar, es que la disciplina realmente no se ve como desempe&#241;o. Se ve como tener la capacidad de establecer una direcci&#243;n y permanecer fiel a esa direcci&#243;n, incluso cuando es dif&#237;cil.</p><p>Ahora, parte de la dificultad de mantener esa direcci&#243;n viene del hecho de que tenemos que actuar constantemente para poder retornar al camino cuando la deriva nos aleja de &#233;l. Como sabemos, la deriva es inevitable, as&#237; que permanecer en lo inc&#243;modo est&#225; altamente conectado con el hecho de que el camino no estar&#225; libre de baches. Est&#225; en nosotros permanecer conscientes y traer de vuelta el orden cuando sea necesario.</p><p>Permanecer fiel, entonces, no significa permanecer en el camino sin importar qu&#233;, porque somos humanos. Significa mantener la direcci&#243;n en mente para que sepamos a qu&#233; volver y por qu&#233;.</p><p>Los estudios muestran que hacer cosas dif&#237;ciles en lugar de saltarlas, al practicar peque&#241;os actos de autocontrol, puede mejorar nuestra capacidad de regularnos. B&#225;sicamente, cada vez que eliges esfuerzo sobre impulso, est&#225;s entrenando tu capacidad de soportar lo inc&#243;modo<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a>. As&#237; que cuando nos saltamos los momentos donde necesitamos aplicar esfuerzo, pensar, construir y aprender, y delegamos esa responsabilidad a alguien o algo m&#225;s, como la IA, estamos haciendo lo contrario. Nuestra capacidad de resistir se debilita, haci&#233;ndonos m&#225;s propensos a la deriva.</p><p>Lo que quiero que tomes de esto no es que debas evitar la IA, o que la IA no pueda ayudarte en tu proceso de pensamiento. Lo que quiero que tomes de esto es que la IA debe ser un copiloto, no quien maneja el volante. Porque en el minuto en que entregas el control, tambi&#233;n renuncias a parte del control que te mantiene movi&#233;ndote en la direcci&#243;n que elegiste.</p><p>En nuestro pr&#243;ximo compa&#241;ero de pago, aprenderemos c&#243;mo iniciar la pr&#225;ctica de peque&#241;os actos de autocontrol, para que nuestra capacidad de resistir la dificultad, y con eso nuestro retorno a lo que importa, se vuelva m&#225;s f&#225;cil con el tiempo.</p><p>Como nota final, Abbey ense&#241;a a fundadores, personas que cambian de carrera y constructores en etapa temprana la estrategia de producto que necesitan para liderar el desarrollo de apps, y no requiere ninguna experiencia.</p><p>Ofrece un curso gratuito. En &#233;l, escribe sobre educaci&#243;n tecnol&#243;gica, construir en p&#250;blico, cuidarse a uno mismo y lo que realmente se necesita para ir de la idea al lanzamiento.</p><p>Para tomar el curso gratuito, consulta <a href="https://upcoastleaders.ca/app-strategy/course">este enlace.</a></p><p><strong>&#161;Que tengas una semana maravillosa!</strong></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong>&#10024; Ideas que Vale la Pena Explorar</strong></h3><p>Si esta pieza reson&#243;, aqu&#237; hay un par m&#225;s que van de la mano.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;196b5ff6-6948-4570-86d2-f32e9021045e&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Este es un compa&#241;ero de pago para Lo que consumes moldea tu disciplina&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:&quot;Read full story&quot;,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Entrenar el pensamiento claro bajo el ruido&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:22953746,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Camilo Zambrano&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;Falling behind is human.

Someone who launched a SaaS in 48 hours using AI. Someone who went from idea to product in a week and is already talking about what is next. The content is everywhere and the message is consistent: the tools are so good now that the hard part is basically gone. Just prompt your way to a product.</p><p>I want to talk about what this culture is actually teaching people.</p><p>Because here is the thing: the hype-driven approach does work sometimes, let&#8217;s be honest. There are founder-led products that succeeded entirely on founder vision, speed, and luck. So I am not here to tell you that launching fast is always wrong. What I am here to talk about is what happens when skipping the thinking becomes the default, when it becomes habit, when people stop doing the work not because they made a strategic decision to move fast, but because everything around them is telling them the work is not necessary anymore.</p><p>And I see it constantly. I run a free course for people who want to become app founders and two very different groups of people are finding me right now. The first group is hungry for the real thing. They&#8217;ve been lost in the noise, the launch-in-a-week hype, the AI-built MVPs full of bugs and bad UX, the overnight success stories, and something in them knows it does not add up. They want to understand how product development actually works. They want to do the research. They are willing to go slower because they understand that slowing down (a bit!) now means not rebuilding from scratch in six months.</p><p>The second group is harder to help. They come in wanting AI to do all of it. Not to assist their thinking, but to replace it entirely. Their first question is usually some version of &#8220;Can I just use AI for this part?&#8221; And I get it, because the tools are genuinely impressive and the promise is enticing. But here is what I have learned from watching both groups: If AI does the research for you, it is going to produce the same output it produces for everyone else who asked the same question. You end up with the same product, the same positioning, the same conclusions as everyone else who outsourced their thinking. There is no differentiation. There is no real understanding of your user. There is just a very fast path to building something nobody needed&#8230;or you may get lucky and blow up, like all those success stories you see on YouTube.</p><p>What the hype culture does not tell you though is that skipping the thinking does not actually save time. It just moves the cost somewhere else. If you launch without knowing who your users are and whether your assumptions about them are true, you will spend months afterward trying to find product market fit that you could have built in from the start. If you think the research phase feels slow, just wait until you have to rebuild. The rebuild phase is much slower. And a lot more expensive.</p><p>Most people who want to build something arrive to my course already in solution mode. The features are mapped out, the vision is clear, and the last thing they want to do is slow down. That feeling is completely understandable. But underneath the excitement, if you are honest with yourself, there is usually another voice. The one asking: what if I spend all this time and money building this and nobody wants it?</p><p>That voice is discipline. And the hype culture is very good at yelling louder and drowning that good sense people once had.</p><p>The uncomfortable truth about doing the thinking first is that it might tell you something you do not want to hear. Your assumptions might be wrong. The problem you thought you were solving might already be solved. The users you thought you understood might want something completely different than what you had in mind. One of my students described choosing to listen to that voice as having to &#8220;take a step, or several steps, back, breathe, and commit to doing the research with the acknowledgment that my original idea might not be the right one.&#8221;</p><p>That acknowledgment takes real discipline. Not the grind, not the hustle, just the willingness to stay in the uncomfortable part long enough to find out what is actually true before you commit to building. The hype culture exists partly because it gives people permission to skip that uncomfortable feeling entirely. Just build it and find out. But finding out after you have built it is a much more expensive lesson.</p><p>This is actually where I push back hardest on the AI-first approach. When a student asks how to get AI to do the early research in order to get deeper into the process faster, my answer is usually: not here. Not at this stage. This stage sets the foundation for everything that comes after it. When you let AI decide what to surface and what seems important, you lose control over the judgment that the whole product will be built on. AI tends to tell you what you want to hear and even if you&#8217;ve given it instructions to challenge you and be creative, by leaving the early research to AI, it may inadvertently bias you towards the wrong problem. It may surface photo sharing as a key user problem because people talk about it a lot but then completely miss the fact that users already have five solutions for that. It is not trying to do good work, it doesn&#8217;t understand what &#8220;good&#8221; work means. It is trying to give you a useful-sounding answer. And at this stage, what you actually need is something that will help you find out where you are wrong, not confirm where you think you are right.</p><p>Doing the research yourself, with your own judgment, before you hand any of it off to a tool or a shortcut, that is the willpower you need. And what this kind of action produces is not just a better product strategy. It is the kind of confidence that actually holds up. Not the confidence of someone who launched fast and hoped for the best, but the confidence of someone who did the uncomfortable work of finding out whether their idea was real before they committed to building it. As one student put it after going through that process: &#8220;I have a research-backed strategy for my app. I know the problem space, who my users are and what they need. I am moving forward with confidence.&#8221;</p><p>There is a concept I keep coming back to with my students, which is knowing what you are skipping. The founders who launch fast and win are usually not skipping the thinking accidentally. They know exactly what they are skipping and they have made a deliberate choice about it. That is very different from skipping it because everyone you see on YouTube is telling you the thinking is optional. One is intentional. The other is just avoidance that feels like efficiency because everyone around you is doing the same thing.</p><p>I love this quote from one of my students when she was telling me what she gained from taking my course: &#8220;I would have easily spent more time and money in vibe coding and building what I thought would be a simple prototype so I could test it out. In the end, the time, effort and the startup costs would have been way more expensive if I ended up building the wrong solution.&#8221; I had another student who&#8217;s entire idea fell apart after he realized that while the problem he wanted to solve does truly exist, and people complain loudly about it, but everyone had solutions that more or less worked and they did not want to have to pay for an app to solve the problem for them. His self-control in pausing to do the research before building, and honestly also after he did that research his vulnerability in admitting that people don&#8217;t want his idea, saved him.</p><p>The real cost of the launch-in-a-week approach is not just that you might build the wrong thing. It is that you will not know you built the wrong thing until you have already paid for it. And by then the cost is not just money. It is the months you spent building. It is the idea you were most excited about. It is the confidence that you could actually do this. One student said it plainly: &#8220;In the end, the time, effort and the startup costs would have been way more expensive if I ended up building the wrong solution.&#8221; She was talking about a prototype she almost built before doing the research. And this was a highly experienced mobile engineer who has been around the product development process for her entire career. For her, building is easy and a lot of engineers fall into this trap. They decide to build their ideas without practising self-restraint because for them building is easy and fast.</p><p>Often we must choose the path that is hard and slow.</p><p>Discipline in this context does not mean doing every single step every single time. It means knowing what the steps are. It means understanding which of your assumptions could sink you if they turn out to be wrong. It means being honest with yourself about what you actually know versus what you are hoping is true. And it means doing the uncomfortable work of finding out before you commit to building.</p><p>And when someone actually has the discipline to do the work, you can hear it in how they talk about their product. It sounds less like excitement and more like clarity. Instead of &#8220;I have this great idea for an app that everyone will love!&#8221; you hear them say &#8220;I have a research-backed strategy for my app. I know the problem space, who my users are and what they need. I am moving forward with confidence.&#8221;</p><p>That confidence is not the confidence of someone who launched fast and hoped for the best. It is the confidence of someone who chose to do the harder thing first. And that is really what discipline looks like in this space. Not the speed, not the output, just the willingness to stay in the uncomfortable part long enough to actually know what you are building and why.</p><p>My message is pretty simple: In this new AI-driven, launch-in-a-week world, now more than ever self-discipline is one of the best skills you can cultivate for long term success. Do the research yourself. Sit with findings that contradict what you hoped was true. Don&#8217;t outsource your judgment at the exact moment your judgment matters most.</p><div><hr></div><p>Thanks, Abbey, for sharing these ideas with us.</p><p>One of the passages that resonated the most with me was:</p><blockquote><p>That confidence is not the confidence of someone who launched fast and hoped for the best. It is the confidence of someone who chose to do the harder thing first. And that is really what discipline looks like in this space. Not the speed, not the output, just the willingness to stay in the uncomfortable part long enough to actually know what you are building and why.</p></blockquote><p>It resonated because it aligns a lot with the ideas I share across this newsletter. Maybe not at first sight, but if you think about it, what these lines say, and maybe Abbey can confirm, is that discipline does not really look like performance. It looks like having the ability to set a direction and stay truthful to that direction, even when it is hard.</p><p>Now, part of the hardship of keeping that direction comes from the fact that we have to constantly act so we can return to the path when drift pulls us away from it. As we know, drift is inevitable, so staying in the uncomfortable is highly connected to the fact that the road will not be free of bumps. It is on us to stay aware and bring order back when it is needed.</p><p>Staying truthful, then, does not mean staying on the path no matter what, because we are human. It means keeping the direction in mind so we know what to come back to and why.</p><p>Studies show that doing hard things rather than skipping them, by practicing small acts of self-control, can improve our ability to regulate ourselves. Basically, every time you choose effort over impulse, you are training your ability to endure the uncomfortable<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a>. So when we skip the moments where we need to apply effort, think, build, and learn, and delegate that responsibility to somebody or something else, like AI, we are actually doing the opposite. Our ability to endure weakens, making us more prone to drift.</p><p>What I want you to take from this is not that you should avoid AI, or that AI cannot help you in your thinking process. What I want you to take from this is that AI should be a copilot, not the one steering the wheel. Because the minute you hand over control, you also give up part of the control that keeps you moving in the direction you chose.</p><p>In our next paid companion, we will learn how to kickstart the practice of small acts of self-control, so our ability to withstand hardship, and with that our return to what matters, becomes easier over time.</p><p>As one final note, Abbey teaches founders, career-changers, and early-stage builders the product strategy they need to lead app development, and it does not require any experience.</p><p>She offers a free course.

El problema no es la lista&#8212;es todo lo que la lista no captura. La idea a medio formar que tuviste ayer. La preocupaci&#243;n que surgi&#243; durante el almuerzo. El contexto que necesitar&#225;s cuando retomes esto ma&#241;ana. Lo llevas todo en tu cabeza porque escribir &#8220;terminar informe&#8221; no descarga realmente el trabajo de recordar d&#243;nde estabas, qu&#233; estabas pensando, o por qu&#233; importaba.</p><p>Cuando algo interrumpe&#8212;una fecha l&#237;mite de proyecto, una obligaci&#243;n familiar, una semana que se te escapa&#8212;el costo no es solo el tiempo perdido. Es el impuesto de reingreso. Te sientas a reanudar, y en lugar de comenzar, pasas veinte minutos reconstruyendo lo que ya sab&#237;as. El Efecto Zeigarnik mantiene las tareas incompletas frescas en la memoria, pero no preserva el pensamiento que te llev&#243; hasta ah&#237;.</p><p>La pila crece. Las tareas se convierten en capas arqueol&#243;gicas. No solo necesitas hacer el trabajo&#8212;necesitas recordar qu&#233; era el trabajo siquiera. Ese es el costo oculto: no el hacer, sino la recarga cognitiva constante cada vez que regresas.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/es/foundations/understanding-your-context/executive-function?utm_source=paid_companion">Entendiendo la Funci&#243;n Ejecutiva</a> &#8212; C&#243;mo la memoria de trabajo moldea tu capacidad para mantener y procesar contexto</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#127919; Lo Que Est&#225;s Entrenando</h3><p>Est&#225;s entrenando velocidad de reingreso. Eso significa reducir el tiempo y la carga mental entre &#8220;Deber&#237;a trabajar en esto&#8221; y realmente trabajar en ello. Los Katas a continuaci&#243;n te ense&#241;an a capturar contexto antes de que se convierta en deuda cognitiva&#8212;para que cuando regreses, no est&#233;s empezando desde cero.</p><p>En la pr&#225;ctica, esto se ve como entregas deliberadas a tu yo futuro. Cierras una sesi&#243;n nombrando lo que est&#225; sin terminar, qu&#233; sigue siendo importante, y qu&#233; estabas pensando cuando te detuviste. El primer beneficio: descargas el peso Zeigarnik. Tu cerebro deja de mantener tareas incompletas en memoria activa porque has creado un sistema externo confiable.</p><p>Tambi&#233;n hay un segundo beneficio: evidencia. Cada vez que reingresas exitosamente sin fricci&#243;n, pruebas que el sistema funciona. Esa prueba se compone. Con el tiempo, dejas de temer el regreso. Conf&#237;as en que el t&#250;-del-pasado dej&#243; suficientes pistas para que el t&#250;-del-presente retome el rastro.</p><p>En nuestra reflexi&#243;n m&#225;s reciente (<a href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/p/el-costo-oculto-de-volver-al-camino?utm_source=paid_companion">El Costo Oculto de Retomar el Rumbo</a>), mapeamos c&#243;mo el contexto sin terminar crea agobio. El compa&#241;ero hace ese mapeo accionable.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/es/foundations/building-your-foundation/designing-low-friction-routines?utm_source=paid_companion">Dise&#241;ando Rutinas de Baja Fricci&#243;n</a> &#8212; Reduciendo el costo de arranque en sistemas diarios</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9889; Los Katas</h3><p>Los katas son pr&#225;cticas cortas y nombradas. Cada uno toma 30&#8211;120 segundos. Pract&#237;calos en d&#237;as f&#225;ciles para que sean autom&#225;ticos cuando llegue el estr&#233;s.</p><div><hr></div><h4>1&#65039;&#8419; La Captura de Contexto</h4><p>Este kata entrena descarga cognitiva. &#218;salo cuando te detengas a mitad de tarea y sepas que necesitar&#225;s retomarla despu&#233;s. Crear&#225;s un mapa para tu yo futuro.</p>

The problem isn&#8217;t the list&#8212;it&#8217;s everything the list doesn&#8217;t capture. The half-formed idea you had yesterday. The concern that surfaced during lunch. The context you&#8217;ll need when you pick this back up tomorrow. You carry it all in your head because writing &#8220;finish report&#8221; doesn&#8217;t actually offload the work of remembering where you were, what you were thinking, or why it mattered.</p><p>When something interrupts&#8212;a project deadline, a family obligation, a week that gets away from you&#8212;the cost isn&#8217;t just the time lost. It&#8217;s the re-entry tax. You sit down to resume, and instead of starting, you spend twenty minutes reconstructing what you already knew. The Zeigarnik Effect keeps incomplete tasks fresh in memory, but it doesn&#8217;t preserve the thinking that got you there.</p><p>The pile grows. Tasks become archaeological layers. You don&#8217;t just need to do the work&#8212;you need to remember what the work even was. That&#8217;s the hidden cost: not the doing, but the constant cognitive reload every time you return.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/foundations/understanding-your-context/executive-function?utm_source=paid_companion">Understanding Executive Function</a> &#8212; How working memory shapes your capacity to hold and process context</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#127919; What You&#8217;re Training</h3><p>You&#8217;re training re-entry speed. That means reducing the time and mental load between &#8220;I should work on this&#8221; and actually working on it. The Katas below teach you to capture context before it becomes cognitive debt&#8212;so when you return, you&#8217;re not starting from scratch.</p><p>In practice, this looks like deliberate handoffs to your future self. You close a session by naming what&#8217;s unfinished, what matters next, and what you were thinking when you stopped. The first benefit: you offload the Zeigarnik weight. Your brain stops holding incomplete tasks in active memory because you&#8217;ve created a reliable external system.</p><p>There&#8217;s also a second benefit: evidence. Each time you successfully re-enter without friction, you prove the system works. That proof compounds. Over weeks, you stop dreading the return. You trust that past-you left enough breadcrumbs for present-you to pick up the trail.</p><p>In our latest reflection (<a href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/p/the-hidden-cost-of-getting-back-on?utm_source=paid_companion">The Hidden Cost of Getting Back on Track</a>), we mapped how unfinished context creates overwhelm. The companion makes that mapping actionable.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/foundations/building-your-foundation/designing-low-friction-routines?utm_source=paid_companion">Designing Low-Friction Routines</a> &#8212; Reducing startup cost in daily systems</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9889; The Katas</h3><p>Katas are short, named practices. Each one takes 30&#8211;120 seconds. Practice them on easy days so they&#8217;re automatic when stress hits.</p><div><hr></div><h4>1&#65039;&#8419; The Context Capture</h4><p>This kata trains cognitive offload. Use it when you&#8217;re stopping mid-task and know you&#8217;ll need to pick it back up later. You will create a map for your future self.</p>

R&#225;pidamente se convirti&#243; en un cementerio de tareas aparentemente urgentes pero no realmente urgentes.</p><p>Luego me mud&#233; a <a href="https://www.notion.so/">Notion</a>, y m&#225;s recientemente a <a href="https://obsidian.md/">Obsidian</a>.<br>Estos &#250;ltimos dos cambios cambiaron mi relaci&#243;n con mi yo abrumado.</p><p>Una de las cosas que descubr&#237; cuando comenc&#233; a trabajar con estas aplicaciones para tomar notas es que, al solo llevar listas, efectivamente levantaba el peso de las cosas pendientes <em>en alg&#250;n lugar</em>, pero de lo que me di cuenta es que las tareas pendientes no son los &#250;nicos elementos que llevamos en nuestra cabeza.<br>Llevamos mucho m&#225;s contexto.</p><p>Entonces, mientras intentaba completar tareas pendientes, a&#250;n cargaba ideas, cosas que hacer, preocupaciones, y eso realmente me ralentizaba. Muchas veces ten&#237;a que, si estaba en medio de algo, volver al d&#237;a siguiente y retomar donde lo hab&#237;a dejado, lo que me tomaba un tiempo. Para aquellos familiarizados con entrar en un estado de flujo, se volvi&#243; dif&#237;cil para m&#237; llegar all&#237; porque hab&#237;a demasiado en mi cabeza para dejar espacio para ese lujo.</p><p>Hay un fen&#243;meno llamado El Efecto Zeigarnik, que es la tendencia a recordar tareas incompletas o interrumpidas mejor que las completadas. Ya he hablado de esto en un par de art&#237;culos porque siento que esto es algo que, antes de aprenderlo, me persegu&#237;a precisamente porque tend&#237;a a recordar todo lo que necesitaba hacer, todo lo que quer&#237;a hacer, y todo lo que deb&#237;a hacer, y olvidar aquellas cosas que ya hab&#237;a completado. El problema con eso es que este modo me robaba mi progreso, mi orgullo, y la motivaci&#243;n para seguir volviendo a lo que importa.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png" width="1456" height="73" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:73,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1745,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.self-disciplined.com/i/178402736?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><h4><strong>&#128073;

a prestar extrema atenci&#243;n a abordar este problema particular.</p><p>Ahora me enorgullece decir que hoy, incluso si el drift tiene avenidas para manifestarse, rara vez lo hace, porque he aprendido c&#243;mo manejarlo antes de desviarme, y si lo hago, el uso de esta herramienta me ha permitido retomar r&#225;pido y no preocuparme por lo que est&#225; incompleto, porque lo delego a mi b&#243;veda de Obsidian. Y tampoco me dejo llevar por preocupaciones o ideas, porque est&#225;n anotadas, lo que significa que siempre puedo volver a ellas.</p><p>Obsidian se convirti&#243; en mi sistema de reingreso.<br>Me ayud&#243; a reducir mi costo de reingreso.</p><p>Ahora, la parte sustancial. <em>&#191;Qu&#233; hago con esto para que sea &#250;til?</em></p><p>Una cosa que quiero dejar clara: Obsidian es la herramienta que <em>yo</em> uso como una forma de reducir mi costo de reingreso y aumentar mi velocidad de retorno. Puedes usar cualquier herramienta que te permita tomar notas. &#191;Usas Google Docs? &#191;Evernote? &#191;Notion?<br>Cualquiera de ellas est&#225; bien.</p><p>Volviendo a ello.</p><p>Constru&#237; mi sistema con Obsidian porque, comparado con otras aplicaciones para tomar notas, se sent&#237;a muy intuitivo y f&#225;cil crear y organizar mis ideas alrededor de archivos markdown. Esto se volvi&#243; especialmente &#250;til cuando me di cuenta de que pod&#237;a conectar Obsidian a Claude Code &#8212; la herramienta de terminal de Anthropic para trabajar con Claude a un nivel m&#225;s bajo &#8212; porque pod&#237;a consolidar mis aprendizajes y automatizar la organizaci&#243;n y recolecci&#243;n de datos. Es muy f&#225;cil acumular notas y luego ignorarlas porque procesarlas se convierte en otra carga.<br>La idea de hacer que las notas sean parte de un sistema &#8212; una parte importante del sistema &#8212; es precisamente obtener valor de ellas y reducir el costo de reingreso al mostrar la informaci&#243;n m&#225;s relevante cuando la necesito.</p><p>M&#225;s concretamente, hoy uso Obsidian para recopilar informaci&#243;n, planes y reflexiones personales; para organizar mi trabajo en Self Disciplined; pero lo m&#225;s importante, para mantener mis notas diarias actualizadas y organizadas. Mis notas diarias son las que me ayudan a retomar r&#225;pido.</p><p><strong>&#191;C&#243;mo se ve una nota diaria?</strong></p><p>Cada nota contiene 7 secciones: 3 de ellas generadas con la ayuda de IA, y 4 que son mi entrada diaria.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Informe Matutino</strong> &#8212; Una instant&#225;nea de mi estado actual. Incluye:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Arrastre</strong> &#8212; Elementos en los que he estado trabajando que est&#225;n sin terminar.</p></li><li><p><strong>Enfoque Actual</strong> &#8212; Las prioridades a las que tengo que estar atento.</p></li><li><p><strong>Mantener a la Vista</strong> &#8212; Preocupaciones o notas que provienen de notas o reflexiones que escrib&#237;.</p></li></ul></li><li><p><strong>Diario</strong> &#8212; La entrada del d&#237;a.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Tareas Pendientes</strong> &#8212; Elementos en los que tengo que trabajar, elementos accionables.</p></li><li><p><strong>Contexto Para Ma&#241;ana</strong> &#8212; Notas de traspaso para ma&#241;ana. Comparte el estado para un reingreso m&#225;s r&#225;pido.</p></li><li><p><strong>Notas</strong> &#8212; Ideas capturadas, recordatorios, pensamiento en bruto. Es el sumidero para que yo pueda anotar ideas cuando vienen, y luego volver a ellas.</p></li><li><p><strong>Reflexiones</strong> &#8212; Divagaciones, reflexiones personales, nada realmente accionable, solo un lugar donde puedo permitirme soltar mis pensamientos sin mucho filtro.</p></li></ul></li></ul><p>Cada elemento tiene un trabajo espec&#237;fico. Automatic&#233; el proceso pidiendo al LLM, Claude, que me ayudara a archivar las notas diarias anteriores cada d&#237;a y crear una nueva, pre-poblando mi informe matutino para que sepa d&#243;nde lo dej&#233;, qu&#233; necesito hacer, y pueda comenzar energizado y concentrado de inmediato.</p><p>Ha demostrado ser muy &#250;til.</p><p>No todos los sistemas son iguales, y digo esto intencionalmente. Nuestros cerebros son &#250;nicos, somos &#250;nicos, y debido a eso, necesitamos construir lo que mejor se adapte a nosotros. El ejemplo que te di est&#225; un poco redactado para mostrarte las partes que pueden serte &#250;tiles, para que puedas construir tus propias notas y apoyarte con las herramientas que sean m&#225;s c&#243;modas para ti.</p><p>Solo te estoy dando un andamiaje que puedes usar para comenzar m&#225;s r&#225;pido.</p><p>Como recordatorio, este sistema <em>no</em> elimina el drift. Asume que en alg&#250;n momento olvidar&#233; lo que hay en mi cabeza, o que intentar&#233; procrastinar, o que me asustar&#233; por algo, as&#237; que me da las herramientas para reingresar y volver a lo que importa al menor costo, para que vuelva a m&#237; mismo y a mi oficio.</p><p>En el compa&#241;ero de pago de ma&#241;ana, trabajaremos en pr&#225;cticas que nos ayudan a identificar herramientas que se ajustan a qui&#233;nes somos y a nuestras necesidades, lo cual creo que viene bastante &#250;til cuando queremos permanecer coherentes.</p><p>Revisa el andamiaje, mira qu&#233; puede ser &#250;til. Si tienes preguntas, por favor deja tu comentario o cont&#225;ctame directamente. Siempre estoy disponible.</p><p>No seas un extra&#241;o.</p><p><strong>&#161;Espero que tengas una semana maravillosa!</strong></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong>&#10024; Ideas que Vale la Pena Explorar</strong></h3><p>Si esta pieza reson&#243;, aqu&#237; hay un par m&#225;s que van de la mano.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;955e1083-5714-46c3-9339-3b7bbe52a2ae&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Llevo escribiendo m&#225;s de un a&#241;o.

It quickly became a graveyard for seemingly urgent but not really urgent tasks.</p><p>Then I moved to <a href="https://www.notion.so">Notion</a>, and most recently to <a href="https://obsidian.md/">Obsidian</a>.<br>These last two changes changed my relationship with my overwhelmed self.</p><p>One of the things I discovered when I started working with these note-taking apps is that, by just carrying lists, I did indeed lift the weight of pending stuff <em>somewhere</em>, but what I realized is that to-dos are not the only items we carry in our head.<br>We carry way more context.</p><p>So, while I would try to complete pending tasks, I would still carry ideas, next actions, concerns, and that would actually slow me down. Many times I would have to, if I was in the middle of something, come back the next day and pick up where I left off, which would take me a while. For those familiar with getting into a flow state, it became hard for me to actually get there because there was too much in my head to leave space for that luxury.</p><p>There is a phenomenon called The Zeigarnik Effect, which is the tendency to remember incomplete or interrupted tasks better than completed ones. I&#8217;ve talked about it in a couple of articles already because I feel like this is something that, before learning about it, haunted me precisely because I would tend to remember everything I needed to do, everything I wanted to do, and everything I should do, and forget those things I had already completed. The problem with that is that this mode would rob me of my progress, my pride, and the motivation to keep getting back to what matters.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png" width="1456" height="73" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:73,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1745,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.self-disciplined.com/i/178402736?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><h4><strong>&#128073;

You can use any tool that allows you to take notes. Do you use Google Docs? Evernote? Notion?<br>Any of them is okay.</p><p>Back to it.</p><p>I built my system with Obsidian because, compared with other note-taking apps, it felt very intuitive and easy to create and organize my ideas around markdown files. This became especially useful when I realized I could connect Obsidian to Claude Code &#8212; Anthropic&#8217;s terminal tool for working with Claude at a lower level &#8212; because I could consolidate my learnings and automate the organization and collection of data. It&#8217;s very easy to pile up notes and then ignore them because processing them becomes another burden.<br>The idea of making notes part of a system &#8212; an important part of the system &#8212; is precisely to get value out of them and reduce the re-entry cost by surfacing the most relevant information when I need it.</p><p>More concretely, today I use Obsidian for collecting information, plans, and personal reflections; to organize my work at Self Disciplined; but most importantly, to keep my daily notes updated and organized. My daily notes are the ones that help me return fast.</p><p><strong>How does a daily note look like?</strong></p><p>Every note contains 7 sections: 3 of them generated with the help of AI, and 4 that are my daily input.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Morning Brief</strong> &#8212; A snapshot of my current state. It includes:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Carryover</strong> &#8212; Items that I&#8217;ve been working on that are unfinished.</p></li><li><p><strong>Current Focus</strong> &#8212; The priorities I have to keep an eye on.</p></li><li><p><strong>Keep in View</strong> &#8212; Concerns or notes that stem from notes or reflections I wrote down.</p></li></ul></li><li><p><strong>Journal</strong> &#8212; The entry for the day.</p><ul><li><p><strong>To-Dos</strong> &#8212; Items that I have to work on, actionable items.</p></li><li><p><strong>Context For Tomorrow</strong> &#8212; Handoff notes for tomorrow. Shares state for a faster re-entry.</p></li><li><p><strong>Notes</strong> &#8212; Captured ideas, reminders, raw thinking. It&#8217;s the sink for me to jot down ideas when they come, and then get back to them.</p></li><li><p><strong>Reflections</strong> &#8212; Rambling, personal reflections, nothing really actionable, just a place where I can allow myself to drop my thoughts without much filtering.</p></li></ul></li></ul><p>Each item has a specific job. I automated the process by asking the LLM, Claude, to help me archive the previous daily notes every day and create a new one, pre-populating my morning brief so I know where I left off, what I need to do, and can start energized and heads down right away.</p><p>It has proven to be very helpful.</p><p>Not every system is the same, and I say this intentionally. Our brains are unique, we are unique, and because of that, we need to build what fits best for us. The example I gave you is a bit redacted to show you the parts that can be useful to you, so you can build your own notes and support yourself with the tools that are the most comfortable to you.</p><p>I&#8217;m just giving you a scaffolding you can use to start faster.</p><p>As a reminder, this system <em>doesn&#8217;t</em> eliminate drift. It assumes that at some point I will forget what&#8217;s in my head, or that I&#8217;ll try to procrastinate, or that I will freak out about something, so it gives me the tools to re-enter and get back to what matters at the lowest cost, so I get back to myself and to my craft.</p><p>In tomorrow&#8217;s paid companion, we will work on practices that help us identify tools that fit who we are and our needs, which I think comes pretty useful when we want to remain coherent.</p><p>Check the scaffolding, see what can be helpful. If you have questions, please leave your comment or reach out to me directly. I&#8217;m always available.</p><p>Don&#8217;t be a stranger.</p><p><strong>I hope you have a wonderful week!</strong></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong>&#10024;Ideas Worth Exploring</strong></h3><p>If this piece resonated, here are a few more that go hand-in-hand.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;0f3b095c-2256-465a-a8ea-5456340ea405&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;I&#8217;ve been writing for more than a year now.

Pero tu cuerpo est&#225; tenso, tu respiraci&#243;n es superficial, y has estado mirando la pared durante una hora. La brecha entre saber y hacer se siente imposible. Est&#225;s esperando una preparaci&#243;n que no llegar&#225;.</p><p>La voz en tu cabeza dice &#8220;m&#225;s tarde, cuando me sienta mejor&#8221;. Pero m&#225;s tarde nunca se siente mejor. Te saltas hoy, y ma&#241;ana empieza m&#225;s dif&#237;cil. La cosa que ayudar&#237;a se convierte en la cosa que no puedes hacer. El ciclo se aprieta.</p><p>No te falta disciplina. Te falta una forma de actuar cuando tu sistema te est&#225; diciendo que te detengas. Eso es lo que este compa&#241;ero entrena.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/es/foundations/understanding-your-context/context-overview?utm_source=paid_companion">Entendiendo Tu Contexto</a> &#8212; Aprende c&#243;mo tu sistema nervioso afecta tu capacidad de actuar</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#127919; Lo Que Est&#225;s Entrenando</h3><p>Est&#225;s entrenando acci&#243;n pre-motivacional. Eso significa moverte antes de sentirte listo, no porque seas fuerte, sino porque tienes una forma repetible de anular la respuesta de congelaci&#243;n.</p><p>En nuestra reflexi&#243;n m&#225;s reciente (<a href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/p/la-caminata-de-hoy-es-para-manana">La Caminata de Hoy es Para Ma&#241;ana</a>), Abbey nombr&#243; el patr&#243;n: la caminata no requiere que quieras ir. Solo requiere que vayas. Los katas a continuaci&#243;n te dan el reinicio fisiol&#243;gico que hace posible ir. Interrumpen el estancamiento, regulan tu sistema nervioso lo suficiente para moverte, y crean evidencia de que la acci&#243;n no requiere preparaci&#243;n.</p><p>Tambi&#233;n hay un segundo beneficio: la repetici&#243;n construye confianza en la secuencia. Cuando ejecutas los mismos tres movimientos en d&#237;as f&#225;ciles, tu sistema aprende el patr&#243;n. En d&#237;as dif&#237;ciles, no tienes que pensar. Solo ejecutas la secuencia. Eso elimina una capa m&#225;s de fricci&#243;n entre t&#250; y la cosa que ayuda.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/es/foundations/building-your-foundation/designing-low-friction-routines?utm_source=paid_companion">Dise&#241;ando Rutinas de Baja Fricci&#243;n</a> &#8212; Construye sistemas que trabajen con tu capacidad, no en contra de ella</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9889; Los Katas</h3><p>Los katas son pr&#225;cticas cortas y con nombre. Cada uno toma 30&#8211;120 segundos. Pract&#237;calos en d&#237;as f&#225;ciles para que sean autom&#225;ticos cuando llegue el estr&#233;s.</p><div><hr></div><h4>1&#65039;&#8419; El Suspiro Fisiol&#243;gico</h4><p><em>Basado en la investigaci&#243;n del Dr. Andrew Huberman (Stanford)</em></p><p>Este kata entrena la baja regulaci&#243;n r&#225;pida del sistema nervioso. &#218;salo cuando tu respiraci&#243;n sea superficial y tu cuerpo se sienta bloqueado. Notar&#225;s que la tensi&#243;n baja dentro de dos ciclos.</p>

The walk. The meal prep. The one thing that keeps you functional. But your body is tight, your breathing is shallow, and you have been staring at the wall for an hour. The gap between knowing and doing feels impossible. You are waiting for readiness that will not come.</p><p>The voice in your head says &#8220;later, when I feel better.&#8221; But later never feels better. You skip today, and tomorrow starts harder. The thing that would help becomes the thing you cannot do. The cycle tightens.</p><p>You are not lacking discipline. You are lacking a way to act when your system is telling you to stop. That is what this companion trains.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/foundations/understanding-your-context/context-overview?utm_source=paid_companion">Understanding Your Context</a> &#8212; Learn how your nervous system affects your capacity to act</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#127919; What You&#8217;re Training</h3><p>You are training pre-motivational action. That means moving before you feel ready, not because you are tough, but because you have a repeatable way to override the freeze response.</p><p>In our latest reflection (<a href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/p/todays-walk-is-for-tomorrow">Today&#8217;s Walk is For Tomorrow</a>), Abbey named the pattern: the walk does not require you to want to go. It just requires you to go. The katas below give you the physiological reset that makes going possible. They interrupt the stall, regulate your nervous system enough to move, and create evidence that action does not require readiness.</p><p>There is also a second benefit: repetition builds trust in the sequence. When you run the same three moves on easy days, your system learns the pattern. On hard days, you do not have to think. You just run the sequence. That removes one more layer of friction between you and the thing that helps.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/foundations/building-your-foundation/designing-low-friction-routines?utm_source=paid_companion">Designing Low-Friction Routines</a> &#8212; Build systems that work with your capacity, not against it</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9889; The Katas</h3><p>Katas are short, named practices. Each one takes 30&#8211;120 seconds. Practice them on easy days so they are automatic when stress hits.</p><div><hr></div><h4>1&#65039;&#8419; The Physiological Sigh</h4><p><em>Based on research by Dr. Andrew Huberman (Stanford)</em></p><p>This kata trains rapid nervous system down-regulation. Use it when your breathing is shallow and your body feels locked. You will notice tension drop within two cycles.</p>

It&#8217;s a collaboration... that is also a reflection, but not entirely mine.</p><p>For a while now, I&#8217;ve been using a tool called <a href="https://www.boardy.ai/">Boardy AI</a> &#8212; this is not sponsored, just context &#8212; whose main trick is connecting you with other people in its network through warm intros. If you haven&#8217;t heard of it before, you should check it out, because it&#8217;s life-changing, and I mean it.</p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Free weekly reflections for sustainable discipline.</strong><br>Straight to your inbox.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><p>That information is relevant because the guest I&#8217;m featuring today and I met through Boardy. After chatting and learning more about what we were both doing, we realized it would be a good opportunity to collaborate. This article is that first collaboration.</p><p>Abbey Jackson is the founder of <a href="https://www.upcoastleaders.ca">Up Coast</a> and the creator of the <em>From Passion to Product</em> framework, a program that helps both technical and non-technical entrepreneurs turn app ideas into real products.</p><p>She came to tech the hard way: starting from disability income in Vancouver&#8217;s Downtown Eastside, she took out a high-interest loan for a coding bootcamp and went on to become a staff engineer, earn a patent in vehicle-mobile app architecture, and hold senior roles at Intel, MasterCard, and Rivian.</p><p>Abbey was very generous in sharing her personal experience with me, along with a lot of good advice that can help me &#8212; and ideally help you too, once I put some of it into practice &#8212; expand on my ideas in a better way. As I heard her story, I realized it could be helpful for the community, and I didn&#8217;t hesitate to invite her to share it with all of you.</p><p>It has been a journey for her, and because of that, I think there is a lot to take from her experience. But I&#8217;ll let her tell you that herself.</p><p>Let&#8217;s dive in.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png" width="1456" height="73" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:73,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1745,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.self-disciplined.com/i/178402736?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><h4><strong>&#128073; Want to actually train this, not just read it?</strong></h4><p>Each week, alongside this reflection, I publish a short practice guide &#8212; something you can work through in 10 minutes on a slow day, so the idea sticks when a hard day hits.</p><p>It&#8217;s called the Paid Companion. $9.99/month.</p><p><strong><a href="http://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe">Join the practice &#8594;</a></strong></p><div><hr></div><p>You do not have to feel good to do good things for yourself.</p><p>I want to say that again because it took me a long time to actually believe it. Not just know it intellectually, but actually believe it on the days when my body was telling me to stay still and my mind had already given up on the idea of moving: You do not have to feel good to do good things for yourself. The walk does not require you to want to go. It just requires you to go.</p><p>I came to this understanding the hard way. A few years ago I was burned out. Really, genuinely burned out, not the kind people describe after a hard week. I had a partially dislocated shoulder that went undiagnosed and untreated for a year and a half, and the nerve pain from it was so severe that there were full days where I spent every waking hour on the verge of throwing up. Not from nausea. From pain. I also had migraines triggered by the nerve damage, many times a month, sometimes lasting several days, sometimes multiple times in a week. At my worst, I estimate that about 50% of my working days I was trying to function through a migraine. I was showing up, or trying to, but I was not really there.</p><p>Sleep became something I dreaded. I would stay in the bathtub after my partner went to bed, sometimes until midnight, just to delay the moment I had to go lay down in that bed. After about three hours my body would be in so much pain that I had no choice but to get up. I would do 45 minutes to an hour of stretching and weight bearing exercises in the middle of the night around 2:30 or 3am, and then sleep sitting up on the couch for an hour or two because lying down hurt too much. And then I would go back to bed in the early morning hours around 5am so that I at least woke up next to my partner.</p><p>On top of all of this, I had been in undiagnosed ultra-early perimenopause for years. I did not know at the time that is what was causing my intellectual difficulties. What I knew was that my thinking had changed in a way that terrified me. I could not learn. I could not retain information. I would read a line of code, then a second line, and by the third line I had forgotten the first. I genuinely thought I had early onset Alzheimer&#8217;s. I did not tell anyone because I did not want to find out that it was true. I decided that if it was, I would rather not know and just let myself get worse. It took years to get a diagnosis, and then more years and a lot of fighting to get hormones, and when I finally did, a doctor apologized to me. She said they should have given them to me much sooner.</p><p>During the worst of the burnout, I was fawning constantly at work, pretending to be okay when I was not, because when you are not okay every single day, people&#8217;s patience runs out. The grace that gets extended to someone who is struggling gets quietly withdrawn when the struggling does not stop. So I tried to hide it. And hiding it made everything worse.</p><p>During all of this, I took a role as an engineer while I had COVID that turned into long COVID, and I could not perform. I could not learn and I was let go, justifiably so. I took a product management role after that but the back to back meetings, the expectation of availability at specific times, the pace, made everything worse. That job was killing me.</p><p>After the third time of ending up on medical leave in a span of only 6 years, I had no choice but to realize my life needed to change significantly.</p><p>In the midst of trying to survive my last job, I moved to a small town in the mountains. I now live about 200 feet from the forest and I spend hours every day there with my dog. During the worst of everything, I started to notice a pattern. On the days I went into the woods, I felt better. Not always immediately. Not always dramatically. But there was a correlation I could not ignore. I started to understand that whether or not it helped today, not going made tomorrow harder.</p><p>That is when the first mantra I have ever had in my life showed up: &#8220;Today&#8217;s walk is for tomorrow&#8221;. A lot of the time it helps me today. But even when it does not, it is not wasted. It makes tomorrow more possible. And if I do not go today, the chances of feeling worse tomorrow go up.</p><p>Going anyway does not look graceful. On my worst days it looks like a panic sequence. My breathing gets shallow. My body goes tight. My stomach hurts. I stop being able to think clearly and sometimes I dissociate, just staring at a wall or a screen for an hour, completely checked out. And then at some point I reason with myself. Not motivate, not push, not force. Reason. I remind myself that this is a choice I am making for tomorrow. That if I do not go, I am removing a chance at feeling better tomorrow. I cannot guarantee the walk will help. But I know that going is one of the easiest ways I can set myself up for success in the following days.</p><p>Plus, I almost always feel better after anyway.</p><p>This is not a story about overcoming adversity. I have not overcome it. I am still in pain. I still cook every single meal from scratch because I am allergic to enough things that there is no other option. I still spend hours every day on activity, walks, weight bearing exercises, hiking, mountain biking, not for pleasure right now but because if I do not, the pain takes over and I cannot work at all. I have to prioritize my health. If I plan to work first I end up being too tired, or in too much pain to be physically active later and so I often do not start working until noon or 1pm. My dog asks to go out at 3:30. My partner gets home at 5. I make dinner around 6:30. All of these interruptions mean I work until 9 or even 10 most nights just to get six hours of work done. Right now I do not have much of an identity outside of taking care of myself and building this business.</p><p>I built my business around my health not because it was an inspiring choice but because it was the only viable one. I cannot work in a traditional tech job. I cannot show up at specific times for back to back meetings. I cannot learn at the pace that industry demands. I cannot stand for more than even a few minutes some days. I cannot do the things that most jobs require. I have no mental resistance to working retail or at McDonald&#8217;s, I would do it without hesitation if I physically could. But I cannot. So I have to build something that works around what I actually am, not what I wish I could be.</p><p>The async model that I have designed for my business is not a lifestyle brand for me. It is a survival decision. Health first is not a value statement. It is the only way I stay functional enough to work at all. Exercise before work, even if that means starting at 1pm, is not a flex. It is the thing that makes the rest of the day possible. The truth is I miss starting work at 7:30am and not coming up for air until the afternoon. But that version of me does not and cannot exist anymore.</p><p>And here is what I have learned from living this way: the discipline required to take care of yourself when your body is working against you is not the same as the discipline people talk about in productivity content. It is not about waking up early or optimizing your morning routine. It is about making the same unglamorous choice, over and over, on the days when everything in you wants to stop. Going for the walk when your body hurts and your breathing is shallow and you have been staring at the wall for an hour. Cooking the meal from scratch when you are exhausted. And then doing it again for the other meals too. Starting work at 1pm without shame because you spent the morning keeping yourself functional.</p><p>Today&#8217;s walk is for tomorrow. That is it. That is the whole philosophy.</p><p>You do not have to feel good. You do not have to be motivated. You do not have to be the kind of person who does this easily or naturally or with any grace at all. You just have to make the decision, on the hard days especially, to give tomorrow the best chance you can.</p><div><hr></div><p>Thanks so much, Abbey, for sharing your story with us.</p><p>I think, at some point, we all share a bit of that story, in different degrees, of course. Life hits us, and those hits stack and compound.</p><p>I&#8217;m personally also still in the midst of my own story. I haven&#8217;t defeated adversity yet, and I can attest that the idea of discipline many of us carry usually ends up with us waiting for the right moment to do what we need to do, even when all the signs around us tell us we should be doing it, and still, we don&#8217;t.</p><p>Sometimes that &#8220;right&#8221; moment never comes, and sometimes it comes like a hammer.</p><p>Like what happened to Abbey.</p><p>But what if we decided to make choices with tomorrow in mind?<br>What if we walked today in service of our tomorrow?</p><p>This won&#8217;t always be perfect or glamorous, as Abbey said so well. Our walks won&#8217;t be perfect, and there will be days when there is no walk at all. But if we remember the reason why we are walking today, then the chances of returning to it become higher.</p><p>Let me invite you into a small practice. Pick an activity you <em>know</em> you should be doing, and have trouble starting or maintaining. Write down why you <em>need</em> to do it, and keep that note somewhere visible, accessible, unavoidable.</p><p>Be visceral. Remind yourself of the stakes of not doing it.</p><p>Now the key: focus on the language.</p><p>Don&#8217;t use self-beating, pejorative language, like</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;go run now, you &lt;x, y, z&gt;, if you want to stay in shape.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Instead, remind yourself:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;if you don&#8217;t do this, you won&#8217;t be able to play with your kids as much as you&#8217;d like to. You can do this, and you will.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Something simple, compassionate, like that.</p><p>Set an alarm. When the alarm sounds, just check the text.</p><p>And now the most important part: if reading the text gives you the instant fuel to do it, do it. Now. Don&#8217;t wait. If the text doesn&#8217;t give you that instant fuel, that&#8217;s okay. Experiment. Learn what triggers you. Use it in your favor.</p><p>Just make sure that whatever voice you use reinforces the identity you want to see, instead of discouraging you.</p><p>In our next paid companion, I&#8217;ll share some katas, practices to train your brain to assimilate this, along with some mental models that can make the work of walking today for the benefit of tomorrow a little easier.</p><p>As one final note, Abbey teaches founders, career-changers, and early-stage builders the product strategy they need to lead app development, and it doesn&#8217;t require any experience.<br>She offers a free course. In it, she writes about tech education, building in public, taking care of yourself, and what it actually takes to go from idea to launch.</p><p>To take the free course, check out <a href="https://upcoastleaders.ca/app-strategy/course">this link.</a></p><p><strong>Have a wonderful week!</strong></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong>&#10024;Ideas Worth Exploring</strong></h3><p>If this piece resonated, here are a few more that go hand-in-hand.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;19fcc761-e2b0-42ba-ac5f-1947a27393e6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Most people associate self-discipline with action.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:&quot;Read full story&quot;,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;You&#8217;re Not Lazy.

Es una colaboraci&#243;n... que tambi&#233;n es una reflexi&#243;n, pero no enteramente m&#237;a.</p><p>Desde hace un tiempo, he estado usando una herramienta llamada <a href="https://www.boardy.ai/">Boardy AI</a> &#8212; esto no es patrocinado, solo contexto &#8212; cuyo truco principal es conectarte con otras personas en su red a trav&#233;s de presentaciones c&#225;lidas. Si no has escuchado de esto antes, deber&#237;as revisarlo, porque cambia la vida, y lo digo en serio.</p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Reflexiones semanales gratuitas para una disciplina sostenible</strong>.<br>Directas a tu bandeja de entrada.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><p>Esa informaci&#243;n es relevante porque la invitada que presento hoy y yo nos conocimos a trav&#233;s de Boardy. Despu&#233;s de conversar y aprender m&#225;s sobre lo que ambos est&#225;bamos haciendo, nos dimos cuenta de que ser&#237;a una buena oportunidad para colaborar. Este art&#237;culo es esa primera colaboraci&#243;n.</p><p>Abbey Jackson es la fundadora de <a href="https://www.upcoastleaders.ca">Up Coast</a> y la creadora del framework <em>From Passion to Product</em>, un programa que ayuda tanto a emprendedores t&#233;cnicos como no t&#233;cnicos a convertir ideas de aplicaciones en productos reales.</p><p>Ella lleg&#243; a la tecnolog&#237;a por el camino dif&#237;cil: comenzando desde un ingreso por discapacidad en el Downtown Eastside de Vancouver, sac&#243; un pr&#233;stamo de alto inter&#233;s para un bootcamp de programaci&#243;n y lleg&#243; a convertirse en ingeniera staff, obtener una patente en arquitectura de aplicaciones m&#243;viles para veh&#237;culos, y ocupar roles senior en Intel, MasterCard y Rivian.</p><p>Abbey fue muy generosa al compartir su experiencia personal conmigo, junto con muchos buenos consejos que pueden ayudarme &#8212; e idealmente ayudarte a ti tambi&#233;n, una vez que ponga algunos en pr&#225;ctica &#8212; a expandir mis ideas de una mejor manera. A medida que escuchaba su historia, me di cuenta de que podr&#237;a ser &#250;til para la comunidad, y no dud&#233; en invitarla a compartirla con todos ustedes.</p><p>Ha sido un viaje para ella, y debido a eso, creo que hay mucho que tomar de su experiencia. Pero dejar&#233; que ella misma te lo cuente.</p><p>Vamos a ello.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png" width="1456" height="73" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:73,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1745,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.self-disciplined.com/i/178402736?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><h4><strong>&#128073; &#191;Quieres entrenar esto de verdad, no solo leerlo?</strong></h4><p>Cada semana, junto con esta reflexi&#243;n, publico una breve gu&#237;a de pr&#225;ctica &#8212; algo que puedes trabajar en 10 minutos en un d&#237;a tranquilo, para que la idea se mantenga cuando llegue un d&#237;a dif&#237;cil.</p><p>Se llama el Compa&#241;ero de Pago. $9.99/mes.</p><p><strong><a href="http://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe">&#218;nete a la pr&#225;ctica &#8594;</a></strong></p><div><hr></div><p>No tienes que sentirte bien para hacer cosas buenas por ti mismo.</p><p>Quiero decir eso de nuevo porque me tom&#243; mucho tiempo realmente creerlo. No solo saberlo intelectualmente, sino realmente creerlo en los d&#237;as cuando mi cuerpo me dec&#237;a que me quedara quieta y mi mente ya hab&#237;a renunciado a la idea de moverme: No tienes que sentirte bien para hacer cosas buenas por ti mismo. La caminata no requiere que quieras ir. Solo requiere que vayas.</p><p>Llegu&#233; a esta comprensi&#243;n por el camino dif&#237;cil. Hace unos a&#241;os estaba quemada. Realmente, genuinamente quemada, no del tipo que la gente describe despu&#233;s de una semana dif&#237;cil. Ten&#237;a un hombro parcialmente dislocado que no fue diagnosticado ni tratado por un a&#241;o y medio, y el dolor de nervios por eso era tan severo que hab&#237;a d&#237;as completos donde pasaba cada hora de vigilia al borde de vomitar. No por n&#225;useas. Por dolor. Tambi&#233;n ten&#237;a migra&#241;as provocadas por el da&#241;o nervioso, muchas veces al mes, a veces durando varios d&#237;as, a veces m&#250;ltiples veces en una semana. En mi peor momento, estimo que alrededor del 50% de mis d&#237;as laborales estaba tratando de funcionar a trav&#233;s de una migra&#241;a. Estaba apareciendo, o tratando de hacerlo, pero realmente no estaba ah&#237;.</p><p>Dormir se convirti&#243; en algo que tem&#237;a. Me quedaba en la ba&#241;era despu&#233;s de que mi pareja se iba a la cama, a veces hasta medianoche, solo para retrasar el momento en que ten&#237;a que ir a acostarme en esa cama. Despu&#233;s de unas tres horas mi cuerpo estaba en tanto dolor que no ten&#237;a otra opci&#243;n m&#225;s que levantarme. Hac&#237;a de 45 minutos a una hora de ejercicios de estiramiento y de soporte de peso en medio de la noche alrededor de las 2:30 o 3am, y luego dorm&#237;a sentada en el sof&#225; por una hora o dos porque acostarme dol&#237;a demasiado. Y luego regresaba a la cama en las primeras horas de la ma&#241;ana alrededor de las 5am para al menos despertar junto a mi pareja.</p><p>Adem&#225;s de todo esto, hab&#237;a estado en perimenopausia ultra-temprana no diagnosticada por a&#241;os. No sab&#237;a en ese momento que eso era lo que estaba causando mis dificultades intelectuales. Lo que sab&#237;a era que mi pensamiento hab&#237;a cambiado de una manera que me aterrorizaba. No pod&#237;a aprender. No pod&#237;a retener informaci&#243;n. Le&#237;a una l&#237;nea de c&#243;digo, luego una segunda l&#237;nea, y para la tercera l&#237;nea hab&#237;a olvidado la primera. Genuinamente pensaba que ten&#237;a Alzheimer de inicio temprano. No le dije a nadie porque no quer&#237;a descubrir que era verdad. Decid&#237; que si lo era, preferir&#237;a no saberlo y solo dejarme empeorar. Tom&#243; a&#241;os obtener un diagn&#243;stico, y luego m&#225;s a&#241;os y mucha lucha para obtener hormonas, y cuando finalmente lo hice, una doctora se disculp&#243; conmigo. Dijo que deber&#237;an hab&#233;rmelas dado mucho antes.</p><p>Durante lo peor del agotamiento, estaba adulando constantemente en el trabajo, pretendiendo estar bien cuando no lo estaba, porque cuando no est&#225;s bien todos los d&#237;as, la paciencia de la gente se agota. La gracia que se extiende a alguien que est&#225; luchando se retira silenciosamente cuando la lucha no se detiene. As&#237; que trat&#233; de ocultarlo. Y ocultarlo empeor&#243; todo.</p><p>Durante todo esto, tom&#233; un rol como ingeniera mientras ten&#237;a COVID que se convirti&#243; en COVID largo, y no pude rendir. No pod&#237;a aprender y fui despedida, justificadamente. Tom&#233; un rol de gerencia de producto despu&#233;s de eso pero las reuniones consecutivas, la expectativa de disponibilidad en momentos espec&#237;ficos, el ritmo, empeoraron todo. Ese trabajo me estaba matando.</p><p>Despu&#233;s de la tercera vez de terminar en licencia m&#233;dica en un lapso de solo 6 a&#241;os, no tuve m&#225;s opci&#243;n que darme cuenta de que mi vida necesitaba cambiar significativamente.</p><p>En medio de tratar de sobrevivir mi &#250;ltimo trabajo, me mud&#233; a un pueblo peque&#241;o en las monta&#241;as. Ahora vivo a unos 200 pies del bosque y paso horas cada d&#237;a all&#237; con mi perro. Durante lo peor de todo, comenc&#233; a notar un patr&#243;n. En los d&#237;as que iba al bosque, me sent&#237;a mejor. No siempre inmediatamente. No siempre dram&#225;ticamente. Pero hab&#237;a una correlaci&#243;n que no pod&#237;a ignorar. Comenc&#233; a entender que si ayudaba o no hoy, no ir hac&#237;a el ma&#241;ana m&#225;s dif&#237;cil.</p><p>Ah&#237; fue cuando apareci&#243; el primer mantra que he tenido en mi vida: &#8220;La caminata de hoy es para ma&#241;ana&#8221;. Muchas veces me ayuda hoy. Pero incluso cuando no lo hace, no es desperdiciada. Hace el ma&#241;ana m&#225;s posible. Y si no voy hoy, las posibilidades de sentirme peor ma&#241;ana aumentan.</p><p>Ir de todas formas no se ve elegante. En mis peores d&#237;as se ve como una secuencia de p&#225;nico. Mi respiraci&#243;n se vuelve superficial. Mi cuerpo se tensa. Me duele el est&#243;mago. Dejo de poder pensar con claridad y a veces me disocio, solo mirando una pared o una pantalla por una hora, completamente desconectada. Y luego en alg&#250;n punto razono conmigo misma. No me motivo, no empujo, no fuerzo. Razono. Me recuerdo que esta es una elecci&#243;n que estoy haciendo para ma&#241;ana. Que si no voy, estoy eliminando una oportunidad de sentirme mejor ma&#241;ana. No puedo garantizar que la caminata ayudar&#225;. Pero s&#233; que ir es una de las formas m&#225;s f&#225;ciles en que puedo prepararme para el &#233;xito en los d&#237;as siguientes.</p><p>Adem&#225;s, casi siempre me siento mejor despu&#233;s de todos modos.</p><p>Esta no es una historia sobre superar la adversidad. No la he superado. Todav&#237;a estoy en dolor. Todav&#237;a cocino cada comida desde cero porque soy al&#233;rgica a suficientes cosas que no hay otra opci&#243;n. Todav&#237;a paso horas cada d&#237;a en actividad, caminatas, ejercicios de soporte de peso, senderismo, ciclismo de monta&#241;a, no por placer ahora mismo sino porque si no lo hago, el dolor toma el control y no puedo trabajar en absoluto. Tengo que priorizar mi salud. Si planeo trabajar primero termino estando demasiado cansada, o con demasiado dolor para ser f&#237;sicamente activa despu&#233;s y entonces a menudo no empiezo a trabajar hasta el mediod&#237;a o la 1pm. Mi perro pide salir a las 3:30. Mi pareja llega a casa a las 5. Hago la cena alrededor de las 6:30. Todas estas interrupciones significan que trabajo hasta las 9 o incluso las 10 la mayor&#237;a de las noches solo para completar seis horas de trabajo. Ahora mismo no tengo mucha identidad fuera de cuidar de m&#237; misma y construir este negocio.</p><p>Constru&#237; mi negocio alrededor de mi salud no porque fuera una elecci&#243;n inspiradora sino porque era la &#250;nica viable. No puedo trabajar en un trabajo tecnol&#243;gico tradicional. No puedo aparecer en momentos espec&#237;ficos para reuniones consecutivas. No puedo aprender al ritmo que la industria demanda. No puedo estar de pie por m&#225;s de unos pocos minutos algunos d&#237;as. No puedo hacer las cosas que la mayor&#237;a de los trabajos requieren. No tengo resistencia mental a trabajar en retail o en McDonald&#8217;s, lo har&#237;a sin dudar si f&#237;sicamente pudiera. Pero no puedo. As&#237; que tengo que construir algo que funcione alrededor de lo que realmente soy, no de lo que desear&#237;a poder ser.</p><p>El modelo as&#237;ncrono que he dise&#241;ado para mi negocio no es una marca de estilo de vida para m&#237;. Es una decisi&#243;n de supervivencia. Salud primero no es una declaraci&#243;n de valores. Es la &#250;nica forma en que me mantengo lo suficientemente funcional para trabajar en absoluto. Ejercicio antes del trabajo, incluso si eso significa empezar a la 1pm, no es un alarde. Es la cosa que hace posible el resto del d&#237;a. La verdad es que extra&#241;o empezar a trabajar a las 7:30am y no salir a tomar aire hasta la tarde. Pero esa versi&#243;n de m&#237; no existe y no puede existir m&#225;s.</p><p>Y esto es lo que he aprendido de vivir de esta manera: la disciplina requerida para cuidar de ti mismo cuando tu cuerpo est&#225; trabajando en tu contra no es la misma que la disciplina de la que la gente habla en el contenido de productividad. No se trata de despertar temprano u optimizar tu rutina matutina. Se trata de hacer la misma elecci&#243;n poco glamorosa, una y otra vez, en los d&#237;as cuando todo en ti quiere detenerse. Ir a la caminata cuando tu cuerpo duele y tu respiraci&#243;n es superficial y has estado mirando la pared por una hora. Cocinar la comida desde cero cuando est&#225;s exhausta. Y luego hacerlo de nuevo para las otras comidas tambi&#233;n. Empezar a trabajar a la 1pm sin verg&#252;enza porque pasaste la ma&#241;ana manteni&#233;ndote funcional.</p><p>La caminata de hoy es para ma&#241;ana. Eso es todo. Esa es toda la filosof&#237;a.</p><p>No tienes que sentirte bien. No tienes que estar motivado. No tienes que ser el tipo de persona que hace esto f&#225;cil o naturalmente o con gracia en absoluto. Solo tienes que tomar la decisi&#243;n, especialmente en los d&#237;as dif&#237;ciles, de darle al ma&#241;ana la mejor oportunidad que puedas.</p><div><hr></div><p>Muchas gracias, Abbey, por compartir tu historia con nosotros.</p><p>Creo que, en alg&#250;n punto, todos compartimos un poco de esa historia, en diferentes grados, por supuesto. La vida nos golpea, y esos golpes se apilan y acumulan.</p><p>Personalmente tambi&#233;n estoy todav&#237;a en medio de mi propia historia. No he derrotado la adversidad a&#250;n, y puedo atestiguar que la idea de disciplina que muchos de nosotros llevamos usualmente termina con nosotros esperando el momento correcto para hacer lo que necesitamos hacer, incluso cuando todas las se&#241;ales a nuestro alrededor nos dicen que deber&#237;amos estar haci&#233;ndolo, y aun as&#237;, no lo hacemos.</p><p>A veces ese momento &#8220;correcto&#8221; nunca llega, y a veces llega como un martillo.</p><p>Como lo que le pas&#243; a Abbey.</p><p>Pero &#191;qu&#233; pasar&#237;a si decidi&#233;ramos tomar decisiones con el ma&#241;ana en mente?<br>&#191;Qu&#233; pasar&#237;a si camin&#225;ramos hoy al servicio de nuestro ma&#241;ana?</p><p>Esto no siempre ser&#225; perfecto o glamoroso, como Abbey lo dijo tan bien. Nuestras caminatas no ser&#225;n perfectas, y habr&#225; d&#237;as cuando no haya caminata en absoluto. Pero si recordamos la raz&#243;n por la que estamos caminando hoy, entonces las posibilidades de regresar a ello se vuelven m&#225;s altas.</p><p>D&#233;jame invitarte a una peque&#241;a pr&#225;ctica. Elige una actividad que <em>sabes</em> que deber&#237;as estar haciendo, y tienes problemas para comenzar o mantener. Escribe por qu&#233; <em>necesitas</em> hacerlo, y mant&#233;n esa nota en alg&#250;n lugar visible, accesible, inevitable.</p><p>S&#233; visceral. Recu&#233;rdate a ti mismo las consecuencias de no hacerlo.</p><p>Ahora la clave: enf&#243;cate en el lenguaje.</p><p>No uses lenguaje auto-punitivo, peyorativo, como</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;ve a correr ahora, &lt;x, y, z&gt;, si quieres mantenerte en forma.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>En su lugar, recu&#233;rdate:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;si no haces esto, no podr&#225;s jugar con tus hijos tanto como te gustar&#237;a. Puedes hacer esto, y lo har&#225;s.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Algo simple, compasivo, as&#237;.</p><p>Programa una alarma. Cuando suene la alarma, solo revisa el texto.</p><p>Y ahora la parte m&#225;s importante: si leer el texto te da el combustible instant&#225;neo para hacerlo, hazlo. Ahora. No esperes. Si el texto no te da ese combustible instant&#225;neo, est&#225; bien. Experimenta. Aprende qu&#233; te activa. &#218;salo a tu favor.</p><p>Solo aseg&#250;rate de que cualquier voz que uses refuerce la identidad que quieres ver, en lugar de desalentarte.</p><p>En nuestro pr&#243;ximo compa&#241;ero de pago, compartir&#233; algunos katas, pr&#225;cticas para entrenar tu cerebro para asimilar esto, junto con algunos modelos mentales que pueden hacer el trabajo de caminar hoy para el beneficio del ma&#241;ana un poco m&#225;s f&#225;cil.</p><p>Como una nota final, Abbey ense&#241;a a fundadores, personas que cambian de carrera, y constructores en etapa temprana la estrategia de producto que necesitan para liderar el desarrollo de aplicaciones, y no requiere ninguna experiencia.<br>Ella ofrece un curso gratuito. En &#233;l, escribe sobre educaci&#243;n tecnol&#243;gica, construir en p&#250;blico, cuidar de ti mismo, y lo que realmente se necesita para ir de la idea al lanzamiento.</p><p>Para tomar el curso gratuito, revisa <a href="https://upcoastleaders.ca/app-strategy/course">este enlace.</a></p><p><strong>&#161;Que tengas una semana maravillosa!</strong></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong>&#10024; Ideas que Vale la Pena Explorar</strong></h3><p>Si esta pieza reson&#243;, aqu&#237; hay un par m&#225;s que van de la mano.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;4c8169df-c37b-42ac-bc9e-6f8d5cfb4d33&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;La mayor&#237;a de las personas asocia la autodisciplina con la acci&#243;n.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:&quot;Read full story&quot;,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;No eres flojo.

You ran the reps. You did the work. But when the moment arrives&#8212;when you&#8217;re standing at the threshold of something that matters&#8212;your brain starts scrolling through every weak spot. Every gap. Every version of this that could go wrong.</p><p>The doubt isn&#8217;t about effort. It&#8217;s about whether the effort was enough. Whether <em>you</em> are enough. And the closer you get to the moment, the louder that question becomes.</p><p>You want to trust what you built. But trusting yourself when it counts feels like a skill you never quite learned.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/v1/foundations/understanding-your-context/context-overview?utm_source=paid_companion">Understanding Your Context</a> &#8212; How your nervous system responds to pressure</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#127919; What You&#8217;re Training</h3><p>You are training <em>confidence through return</em>. That means learning to anchor yourself in evidence&#8212;your own history of showing up&#8212;when your brain tries to convince you the work wasn&#8217;t enough.</p><p>In our latest reflection (<a href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/p/confidence-is-built-on-return">Confidence Is Built on Return</a>), we walked through how confidence showed up not as hype or affirmation, but as memory. The memory of practicing. Of returning. Of putting in reps even on the nights when it felt optional. The katas below help you access that memory when doubt floods in.</p><p>There&#8217;s also a second benefit: each kata gives you something concrete to <em>do</em> when the nerves spike. Not distraction. Direction. A way to move from &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m ready&#8221; to &#8220;I know the drill.&#8221;</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/v1/foundations/understanding-your-context/executive-function?utm_source=paid_companion">Executive Function Under Pressure</a> &#8212; Why your brain scrambles when stakes rise</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9889; The Katas</h3><p>Katas are short, named practices. Each one takes 30&#8211;120 seconds. Practice them on easy days so they&#8217;re automatic when stress hits.</p><div><hr></div><h4>1&#65039;&#8419; The Physiological Sigh</h4><p><em>Based on research by Dr. Andrew Huberman (Stanford)</em></p><p>This kata trains rapid regulation. Use it when your chest tightens and your thoughts start looping. You will notice your heart rate drop and your focus sharpen.</p>

cerrar de ojos.<br>Sin embargo, la pas&#233; incre&#237;ble.</p><p>El s&#225;bado pasado, en Carolina del Norte, tuve el honor de ser orador en TEDx Apex. Mi esposa, mi mayor apoyo, y yo viajamos desde nuestra casa en el &#225;rea de Seattle el jueves, muy temprano. Ambos est&#225;bamos cansados, pero bastante esperanzados de que la experiencia ser&#237;a enriquecedora, y no est&#225;bamos equivocados.</p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Reflexiones semanales gratuitas para una disciplina sostenible</strong>.<br>Directas a tu bandeja de entrada.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><p>El vuelo fue largo, y el cambio de zona horaria no ayud&#243; mucho. Llegamos casi al final del d&#237;a, as&#237; que solo pudimos caminar un poco, disfrutar de los alrededores. Hab&#237;a un festival de playa justo afuera de nuestro hotel, pero estaba agotado. Despu&#233;s de eso, solo descansamos para el d&#237;a siguiente: d&#237;a de ensayo.</p><p>Conocer a todos ah&#237; fue un regalo. Todos estaban en el mismo barco.<br>Finalmente pude conocer en persona a las personas con las que hab&#237;a estado prepar&#225;ndome durante meses. Todos est&#225;bamos ah&#237;, solo intentando dar lo mejor de nosotros y compartir nuestras ideas de la mejor manera posible.</p><p>Si eres nuevo aqu&#237; y no est&#225;s familiarizado con mis ideas, la principal que he estado intentando difundir es que la idea de disciplina como la entendemos tradicionalmente est&#225; equivocada. Principalmente porque est&#225; arraigada en la percepci&#243;n de que la disciplina es una virtud.</p><p>Alerta de spoiler: no lo es.</p><p>Llegar a un borrador que comprimiera todas mis ideas en diez minutos no fue f&#225;cil. Tom&#243; horas de tachar, agregar y tachar cosas de nuevo. Eso ten&#237;a una ventaja sin embargo: aprend&#237; la charla relativamente r&#225;pido mientras la escrib&#237;a. Y, bueno, he estado hablando de este tema durante tanto tiempo que ya sab&#237;a lo que quer&#237;a decir. Solo necesitaba encontrar las palabras y la estructura que pudieran llevar el mensaje en diez minutos.</p><p>Al hablar con los otros oradores, me di cuenta de que el desaf&#237;o era similar para muchos de nosotros. El ensayo me dio espacio para ver que lo que estaba sintiendo era normal, y eso me hizo sentir a&#250;n m&#225;s apoyado.</p><p>Esa noche apenas dorm&#237;. Lo suficiente para estar alerta para la charla, no lo suficiente para sentirme descansado en la ma&#241;ana. Pero contra todas las probabilidades, sal&#237; de la cama esa ma&#241;ana sinti&#233;ndome esperanzado y extra&#241;amente confiado.</p><p>La espera en la sala reservada para oradores fue larga.</p><p>Lo suficientemente larga para darme tiempo de practicar mi charla y meditar. Segu&#237;a intentando descifrar por qu&#233; me sent&#237;a tan confiado, porque en el pasado, sentirme as&#237; generalmente se sent&#237;a como el preludio de que las cosas salieran mal.</p><p>Despu&#233;s de pensar por un rato, o lo que se sinti&#243; como un rato, me di cuenta de que esta vez la confianza ven&#237;a de un lugar diferente: hab&#237;a practicado mi charla m&#250;ltiples veces, pr&#225;cticamente cada noche, y en las noches que no lo hice, segu&#237; mi propio consejo. No me enfoqu&#233; en la racha. Me enfoqu&#233; en volver cada vez.</p><p>Cuando fue mi turno, solo me dije a m&#237; mismo: <em>conoces el ejercicio</em>.</p><p>Eso fue todo.</p><p>Era mi turno.</p><p>La alfombra roja se siente m&#225;s pesada cuando est&#225;s parado ah&#237;, frente a todos. Logr&#233; recomponerme y comenc&#233; la charla:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;&#191;Qu&#233; tienen en com&#250;n un fracaso de startup, una ruptura y la crisis subprime de 2008?&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Extra&#241;amente, esos diez minutos no se sintieron interminables de la manera que pens&#233; que lo har&#237;an.</p><p>Se sintieron como un abrir y cerrar de ojos.</p><p>Compart&#237; mi idea. Eso fue todo.<br>Gente asintiendo. Aplausos. Muchos aplausos.</p><p>Luego solo un borr&#243;n.</p><p>Despu&#233;s de la charla, me sent&#233; y medit&#233; un poco m&#225;s.

blast.</p><p>Last Saturday, in North Carolina, I had the honor of being a speaker at TEDx Apex. My wife, my biggest supporter, and I traveled from our home in the Seattle area on Thursday, super early. We were both tired, but pretty hopeful that the experience would be an enriching one, and we were not wrong.</p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Free weekly reflections for sustainable discipline.</strong><br>Straight to your inbox.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><p>The flight was long, and the time zone change did not help much. We arrived almost at the end of the day, so we only got to walk around a little, enjoy the surroundings. There was a beach festival right outside our hotel, but it was sold out. After that, we just rested for the next day: rehearsal day.</p><p>Meeting everyone there was a treat. Everybody was in the same boat.<br>I finally got to meet in person the people I had been preparing alongside for months. All of us were there, just trying to do our best and share our ideas the best way we could.</p><p>If you are new here and unfamiliar with my ideas, the main one I have been trying to spread is that the idea of discipline as we traditionally understand it is flawed. Mainly because it is rooted in the perception that discipline is a virtue.</p><p>Spoiler alert: it is not.</p><p>Landing on a draft that compressed all my ideas into ten minutes was not easy. It took hours of scratching, adding, and scratching things out again. That had one advantage though: I learned the talk relatively quickly as I wrote it. And, well, I have been talking about this topic for so long that I already knew what I wanted to say. I just needed to find the words and the structure that could carry the message in ten minutes.</p><p>From talking with the other speakers, I realized the challenge was similar for many of us. Rehearsal gave me space to see that what I was feeling was normal, and that made me feel even more supported.</p><p>That night I barely slept. Enough to stay sharp for the talk, not enough to feel rested in the morning. But against all odds, I got out of bed that morning feeling hopeful and strangely confident.</p><p>The wait in the room reserved for speakers was long.</p><p>Long enough to give me time to practice my talk and meditate. I kept trying to figure out why I felt so confident, because in the past, feeling like that usually felt like the prelude to things going wrong.</p><p>After thinking for a while, or what felt like a while, I realized that this time the confidence came from a different place: I had practiced my talk multiple times, practically every night, and on the nights I did not, I followed my own advice. I did not focus on the streak. I focused on coming back each time.</p><p>When it was my turn, I just told myself: <em>you know the drill</em>.</p><p>That was it.</p><p>It was my turn.</p><p>The red carpet feels heavier when you are standing there, in front of everyone. I managed to pull myself together and started the talk:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;What do a startup failure, a breakup, and the 2008 subprime crisis have in common?&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Strangely, those ten minutes did not feel endless the way I thought they would.</p><p>They felt like a blink.</p><p>I shared my idea. That was it.<br>People nodding. Claps. Lots of claps.</p><p>Then just a blur.</p><p>After the talk, I sat down and meditated some more. I let myself dwell, intentionally, on what I could have done better. I tried to see myself through the eyes of a spectator. Then I pulled myself together and looked at the other side of it: the idea is now out there.</p><p>In the minds of others.</p><p>I made the effort to create the kind of experience where the audience could see the idea grow in themselves, by themselves.</p><p>I hope that when the video comes out, you go through that same experience.</p><p>A lot of people told me they liked the talk.<br>My wife confirmed that it was solid.<br>I believe her.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png" width="1456" height="73" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:73,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1745,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.self-disciplined.com/i/178402736?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><h4><strong>&#128073;

It&#8217;s Saturday. Damn.</p><p>I feel prepared for the talk... but not so prepared for what will come after it.</p><p>Let&#8217;s be honest, one never stops feeling unprepared. I&#8217;ve been practicing the talk every night, so that front is covered. But I felt that the website for my main value proposal, <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com">Adaptable Discipline</a>, was being left there to collect dust. And with the talk coming, I wanted to have something tangible to show those interested in diving deeper into my thoughts.</p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Free weekly reflections for sustainable discipline.</strong><br>Straight to your inbox.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><p>So because, of course, I was not busy preparing already, I took on the task of rewriting the entire documentation for Adaptable Discipline. Holy smokes, what a feat. But I&#8217;m proud to announce that the <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/welcome">Adaptable Discipline Guides V2</a> have been released &#127881;!</p><p>It has been written with one clear throughline:</p><blockquote><p>Drift is everywhere.<br>We can&#8217;t defeat it. But we can learn to manage it.<br>We do that through the meta-skill of <em>return</em>.<br>And because it&#8217;s a skill, it can be trained.<br>The practice of training that skill is <em>discipline</em>.</p></blockquote><p>As you can see, this post is fairly short, mainly because I wanted to share the good news with you.</p><p>So my unsolicited advice this week is simple: <em>go take a look</em>.</p><p>We <em>all</em> have something worth returning to. We either forgot it, or we know it but just don&#8217;t know how to start.</p><p>The new version is precisely made for this. The first version was, in my opinion, a little bit scattered, very scattered to be honest, and didn&#8217;t really have a spine.</p><p>This new version does. And because of that, the process is smoother, cleaner, and designed precisely to guide you through engineering the conditions of your own returns.</p><p>This week there won&#8217;t be a paid companion because I will be traveling. But if you are a paid subscriber, you might get another email next week with some ideas on what&#8217;s coming. Spoiler alert: it&#8217;s a lot.</p><p>The documentation is <em>free</em>. It will always be free.

Es el s&#225;bado. Diablos.</p><p>Me siento preparado para la charla... pero no tan preparado para lo que vendr&#225; despu&#233;s.</p><p>Seamos honestos, uno nunca deja de sentirse sin preparaci&#243;n. He estado practicando la charla cada noche, as&#237; que ese frente est&#225; cubierto. Pero sent&#237;a que el sitio web de mi propuesta de valor principal, <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com">Adaptable Discipline</a>, estaba quedando ah&#237; juntando polvo. Y con la charla acerc&#225;ndose, quer&#237;a tener algo tangible para mostrar a aquellos interesados en profundizar en mis pensamientos.</p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Reflexiones semanales gratuitas para una disciplina sostenible</strong>.<br>Directas a tu bandeja de entrada.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><p>As&#237; que porque, por supuesto, no estaba ocupado prepar&#225;ndome ya, asum&#237; la tarea de reescribir toda la documentaci&#243;n de Adaptable Discipline. Santo cielo, qu&#233; haza&#241;a. &#161;Pero estoy orgulloso de anunciar que las <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/es/welcome">Gu&#237;as V2 de Adaptable Discipline</a> han sido lanzadas &#127881;!</p><p>Ha sido escrita con un hilo conductor claro:</p><blockquote><p>La deriva est&#225; en todas partes.<br>No podemos derrotarla. Pero podemos aprender a gestionarla.<br>Lo hacemos a trav&#233;s de la meta-habilidad del <em>retorno</em>.<br>Y porque es una habilidad, puede ser entrenada.<br>La pr&#225;ctica de entrenar esa habilidad es la <em>disciplina</em>.</p></blockquote><p>Como puedes ver, esta publicaci&#243;n es bastante corta, principalmente porque quer&#237;a compartir las buenas noticias contigo.</p><p>As&#237; que mi consejo no solicitado esta semana es simple: <em>ve a echarle un vistazo</em>.</p><p><em>Todos</em> tenemos algo que vale la pena retomar. O lo olvidamos, o lo sabemos pero simplemente no sabemos c&#243;mo empezar.</p><p>La nueva versi&#243;n est&#225; hecha precisamente para esto. La primera versi&#243;n era, en mi opini&#243;n, un poco dispersa, muy dispersa para ser honesto, y realmente no ten&#237;a una columna vertebral.</p><p>Esta nueva versi&#243;n s&#237; la tiene. Y debido a eso, el proceso es m&#225;s fluido, m&#225;s limpio, y dise&#241;ado precisamente para guiarte durante la preparaci&#243;n de las condiciones para tu propio retorno.</p><p>Esta semana no habr&#225; un compa&#241;ero de pago porque estar&#233; viajando. Pero si eres un suscriptor de pago, tengo pensado en enviar otro correo la pr&#243;xima semana con algunas ideas sobre lo que viene. Alerta de spoiler: es mucho.</p><p>La documentaci&#243;n es <em>gratuita</em>. Siempre ser&#225; gratuita. Si necesitas apoyo adicional como coaching o asesor&#237;a, o si tienes ideas al respecto, puedes contactarme de muchas maneras, incluyendo envi&#225;ndome un correo a <a href="mailto:camilo@self-disciplined.com">camilo@self-disciplined.com</a>.</p><p>Tambi&#233;n abrir&#233; un hilo para toda la comunidad para preguntas y respuestas. De esa manera, podemos mantener un compendio de preguntas al que las personas puedan regresar cuando est&#233;n comenzando o retomando su propia pr&#225;ctica.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png" width="1456" height="73" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:73,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1745,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.self-disciplined.com/i/178402736?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JaAq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9f813584-0850-4202-a373-6ad56ffe71cd_2400x120.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><h4><strong>&#128073;

La Lucha</h3><p>Est&#225;s cansado. El tipo de cansancio donde todo se siente m&#225;s intenso de lo que deber&#237;a. Tu pareja hace una pregunta simple y te suena como una acusaci&#243;n. Tu hijo derrama agua y sientes que tu pecho se tensa. Sabes que est&#225;s mal, pero saberlo no detiene la reacci&#243;n que se est&#225; formando.</p><p>Te dices que solo necesitas seguir adelante. Una comida m&#225;s que cocinar. Una rutina m&#225;s antes de dormir. Un correo m&#225;s. Pero tu capacidad no est&#225; ah&#237;. Tu tolerancia est&#225; acabada. Y la brecha entre lo que est&#225;s tratando de sostener y lo que realmente puedes cargar sigue ampli&#225;ndose.</p><p>Para cuando te das cuenta, ya est&#225;s reaccionando bruscamente con alguien que amas, o cerr&#225;ndote completamente, o tomando una decisi&#243;n de la que te arrepentir&#225;s ma&#241;ana. Necesitabas gracia hace tres horas. Pero no lo detectaste a tiempo.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/es/foundations/understanding-your-context/executive-function?utm_source=paid_companion">Comprendiendo la Funci&#243;n Ejecutiva</a> &#8212; C&#243;mo la fatiga agota exactamente las capacidades que m&#225;s necesitas</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#127919; Lo Que Est&#225;s Entrenando</h3><p>Est&#225;s entrenando la conciencia pre-desregulaci&#243;n. Eso significa que aprendes a reconocer las se&#241;ales tempranas&#8212;antes de que la reacci&#243;n se fije&#8212;y crear suficiente espacio para elegir una respuesta diferente.</p><p>En nuestra &#250;ltima reflexi&#243;n (<a href="no-url-provided">Algunas Semanas Necesitan Gracia M&#225;s Que Disciplina</a>), cubrimos un momento donde comida para llevar y una pel&#237;cula reemplazaron la rutina predeterminada. Los katas a continuaci&#243;n entrenan la habilidad que hizo esa elecci&#243;n posible: notar cuando est&#225;s funcionando con las &#250;ltimas reservas, pausar lo suficiente para nombrarlo, y elegir la opci&#243;n de menor fricci&#243;n antes de que todo se intensifique.</p><p>Tambi&#233;n hay un segundo beneficio: construyes evidencia de que descansar es una respuesta v&#225;lida. Cada vez que te detectas temprano y eliges gracia sobre esforzarte, refuerzas que detenerte no es fracasar. Es informaci&#243;n. Y la informaci&#243;n construye confianza en tu capacidad para adaptarte cuando las condiciones cambian.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/es/foundations/building-your-foundation/designing-low-friction-routines?utm_source=paid_companion">Dise&#241;ando Rutinas de Baja Fricci&#243;n</a> &#8212; C&#243;mo construir sistemas que se flexibilicen cuando tu capacidad disminuye</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9889; Los Katas</h3><p>Los katas son pr&#225;cticas cortas y nombradas. Cada uno toma 30&#8211;120 segundos. Pract&#237;calos en d&#237;as f&#225;ciles para que sean autom&#225;ticos cuando llegue el estr&#233;s.</p><div><hr></div><h4>1&#65039;&#8419; La Revisi&#243;n de Capacidad</h4><p>Este kata entrena la autoevaluaci&#243;n bajo fatiga. &#218;salo cuando notes irritabilidad, niebla mental o tensi&#243;n f&#237;sica aumentando. Aprender&#225;s a nombrar tu estado antes de que nombre tu comportamiento.</p>

The kind of tired where everything feels sharper than it should. Your partner asks a simple question and it lands like an accusation. Your kid spills water and you feel your chest tighten. You know you&#8217;re off, but knowing doesn&#8217;t stop the reaction from building.</p><p>You tell yourself you just need to push through. One more meal to cook. One more bedtime routine. One more email. But your capacity isn&#8217;t there. Your tolerance is shot. And the gap between what you&#8217;re trying to hold and what you can actually carry keeps widening.</p><p>By the time you notice, you&#8217;re already snapping at someone you love, or shutting down completely, or making a decision you&#8217;ll regret tomorrow. You needed grace three hours ago. But you didn&#8217;t catch it in time.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/foundations/understanding-your-context/executive-function?utm_source=paid_companion">Understanding Executive Function</a> &#8212; How fatigue depletes the exact capacities you need most</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#127919; What You&#8217;re Training</h3><p>You are training pre-dysregulation awareness. That means you learn to recognize the early signs&#8212;before the reaction locks in&#8212;and create enough space to choose a different response.</p><p>In our latest reflection (<a href="https://www.self-disciplined.com/p/some-weeks-need-grace-more-than-discipline?utm_source=paid_companion">Some Weeks Need Grace More Than Discipline</a>), we covered a moment where takeout and a movie replaced the default routine. The katas below train the skill that made that choice possible: noticing when you&#8217;re running on fumes, pausing long enough to name it, and choosing the lower-friction option before everything escalates.</p><p>There&#8217;s also a second benefit: you build evidence that rest is a valid response. Each time you catch yourself early and choose grace over grinding, you reinforce that stopping is not failing. It&#8217;s data. And data builds trust in your ability to adapt when conditions change.</p><p>&#128073; <a href="https://www.adaptable-discipline.com/guides/foundations/building-your-foundation/designing-low-friction-routines?utm_source=paid_companion">Designing Low-Friction Routines</a> &#8212; How to build systems that flex when your capacity drops</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9889; The Katas</h3><p>Katas are short, named practices. Each one takes 30&#8211;120 seconds. Practice them on easy days so they&#8217;re automatic when stress hits.</p><div><hr></div><h4>1&#65039;&#8419; The Capacity Check</h4><p>This kata trains self-assessment under fatigue. Use it when you notice irritability, fog, or physical tension rising. You will learn to name your state before it names your behavior.</p>
