Focused Purpose

Your kids aren’t ignoring you.

Their brains are being rewired in real-time by billion-dollar systems designed to steal their attention.

Rules alone won’t protect them—but presence, curiosity, and three small shifts just might.

This one’s about out-humaning the algorithm before it shapes their soul.

Why I Started Taking My Health Seriously at 5:17 a.m.
(And the 3-minute routine that changed everything)

I used to hit snooze three times. Not because I was lazy—but because I was foggy. Even when I got a full night’s sleep, I’d drag through the morning like someone had replaced my blood with molasses.

My brain? Shot. My joints? Tight. My motivation? MIA.

At 5:17 a.m. one Wednesday, I sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed my face, and muttered the same five-word prayer I’d said every morning for the last year: “Just get through the day.”

That’s when it hit me.
I wasn’t just tired. I was underperforming my entire life.

At work, at home, in the gym—everything felt like it took 30% more effort than it should.

So I did something uncomfortable.
I started tracking everything: sleep, recovery, bloodwork, inflammation markers, focus levels. (Yes, I went full nerd.)

And what I discovered?
I didn’t need more willpower.
I needed better fuel.

Enter a small shift: 3 science-backed essentials I now take every morning from a company called Momentous. It’s not flashy. It’s not trendy. But it’s clinical-grade, clean, and actually built for performance—not hype.

In the first two weeks, I noticed:

• No more 2 p.m. crash.

• Morning lifts felt smoother.

• Mental clarity like someone Windexed my brain.

And yeah, I still get tired. But now it’s earned—not chronic.

If you’ve been “getting through the day” on grit and caffeine, this might be the signal to try something built for long-term performance, not short-term stimulation.

Here’s what I take now—and why I trust Momentous

Every month, The Focused Fool brings you a series of Focused Actions—practical, bite-sized steps designed to help you grow as a father, husband, and man. Each theme is broken down into 12 structured actions (3 per week for 4 weeks) that build on each other, helping you grow with clarity and purpose—one small win at a time.

These aren’t lofty goals or guilt trips. They’re simple, achievable habits designed to make you more consistent, more grounded, and more present.

This month’s theme: Consistency in Habits
Building reliable, repeatable habits that support who you want to become—even when life gets loud.

We’ll start by spotting what’s getting in the way, then build out the tools, reflection, and rhythm needed to make progress automatic. Whether you follow all 12 or just a few, each action is a brick in the foundation of your future self.
