Motivation isn’t a constant — it decays under pressure. That’s why elite performers build a why buffer — a bank of reminders that reconnect them to their reason when exhaustion hits.

Your “why buffer” is what you reach for when your energy crashes or results stall. It’s the screenshots, journal entries, or memories that prove this matters. You don’t rebuild purpose mid-burnout; you preload it when you’re strong.

Why it works:
✅ Emotionally reanchors your work to meaning during low-motivation cycles.
✅ Trains resilience through intentional recall, not willpower.
✅ Turns setbacks into reminders instead of excuses.

Today’s Challenge:
Create a single folder, note, or list labeled “Why I Started.” Add one thing to it every week.

Final Thought:
When your purpose is stored, your perseverance never runs on empty. -1% CheatCode
