💡 CheatCode #126: The Order of One
Fix the first thing, not everything.
“Success is sequential, not simultaneous.” — Adapted
Most people fail not because they lack discipline, but because they try to fix everything at once — habits, goals, routines, health, money, mindset, all in one giant reset.
But the highest performers follow a different rule:
The Order of One.
Fix one thing.
Stabilize it.
Let it carry the others.
A single upgraded input — sleep, hydration, daily planning, morning routine, reading, journaling, movement — acts like a stabilizing domino. One controlled pillar reduces friction across dozens of decisions.
When you get one thing right, you stop living in chaos.
When you get everything right, you burn out by Tuesday.
