High performance isn't about waking up at 4AM, cold plunging, or adding more to your already full plate. In this episode I break down the three things that actually separate high performers from everyone else - discipline, systems, and standards - and walk through exactly what I'm building into my own life right now to level up in this new chapter.What I cover:👉🏻 The reframe: high performance is subtraction, not addition👉🏻 Discipline: waking up earlier, de-centering social media, protecting deep work blocks👉🏻 Systems: my Sunday planning system, Notion planner, fitness routine, and digital organization overhaul👉🏻 Standards: environment design, energy management, tracking, and discomfort tolerance👉🏻 Why discipline without systems and systems without discipline both lead to the same place (nowhere)🎙️ Referenced in this episode:👉🏻 Discipline as Self-Respect episode — https://youtu.be/ikoiOiK0cUQ?si=BfB1Xx25J-z0fCKG👉🏻 Sunday System episode — https://youtu.be/QEcDDxqLW0g?si=7E28_sPsElG6BDRA👉🏻 Atomic Habits episode — https://youtu.be/oc1ZCgIn0BM?si=GidYL4CwnfaHX8NK👉🏻 Oura Ring episode — https://youtu.be/epFtBNTTZq4?si=dZd1d_4SWKZWg7_t👉🏻 Cleaning episode — https://youtu.be/UTAW61va4Kc?si=RoB5X-6lZyRBl7E9Subscribe to Beyond Your Budget:https://breakyourbudget.substack.com/Personal Finance Starter Kit: https://breakyourbudget.substack.com/p/your-personal-finance-starter-kitBREAK YOUR BUDGET RESOURCES:💸 Personal Finance Dashboard:https://breakyourbudget.com/personal-finance-dashboard💸 Basic Budgeting Template: https://breakyourbudget.com/basic-budgeting-template💸 FI/RE Template: https://breakyourbudget.com/fire-template💸 RENT VS.
