THE CONSTITUTION
8 RULES · 6 WEEKS · NO EXCUSES
RULE 01 — THE MORNING LOCK
No phone until after the workout.
Non-negotiable. The morning sets the tone for everything else. Break this and the whole day tilts.
RULE 02 — THE SOBER WINDOW
Sunday to Wednesday: zero drinks.
Thursday to Saturday: live your life. 4 days a week where your brain runs at full capacity.
RULE 03 — DEEP WORK IS SACRED
9 AM–12 PM is locked.
No social media, no errands, no casual scrolling. Every morning block you protect is worth 3x an average afternoon.
RULE 04 — ONE ADVENTURE PER WEEK
One real experience minimum per week.
Hike, research trip, new café, new restaurant. Prevents tunnel vision. Also feeds content.
RULE 05 — ACCURACY OVER SPEED
Always verify stats on Hockey-Reference.
One factual error destroys the credibility you've spent months building. When in doubt, check it twice.
RULE 06 — REST IS PRODUCTIVE
Saturday afternoons are protected. Full stop.
You are not wasting time — you are recharging the engine. A drained Chris produces bad work.
RULE 07 — THE CHANNEL GATE
No faceless channel before Week 4.
Gate check: golf reel done + Habstory content banked + job leads active. All three true → go. Otherwise → park it.
RULE 08 — LOG EVERY DAY
3 sentences before bed. No exceptions.
The act of writing forces reflection. You'll want to read this in 6 weeks. Do it.
