Reach F.I.R.E in 5 Minutes a Day: How I Am Taking Back My Time from TikTok and Netflix

It's 10:30 pm.

Netflix is playing in the background because silence can be loud. But that’s a story for another day. I've wanted to write for years—starting and stopping more times than I can count.

But tonight, I couldn't ignore Dan Koe's message or the discomfort in my life any longer. Before I could begin, I did what we all do to avoid facing that discomfort... I went on TikTok.

It’s easier to scroll than to commit an hour a day to building your dream life.

But that's the real story: distractions are thieves, and TikTok is the king. Before you know it, an hour is gone—forever. You think, 'Too late now, I'll try tomorrow,' but tomorrow rarely comes because, inevitably, something else always pops up.

For you, it might be Twitter, Instagram, or even YouTube. Trust me, I live on YouTube, so I get it.

But here’s the thing: whatever you've been putting off for months, just do it. Put your phone down, and start now. Schedule just five minutes tomorrow to take that first step. Then repeat the same thing the following day—just five minutes. Your future self will thank you.

You can transform your life in just one year with consistent, small actions. Subscribe and join me on this F.I.R.E. journey, and let's build the soft life you've been dreaming of—one focused minute at a time.
