How to Be Disciplined When Motivation Dies
The alarm goes off and you feel nothing. In Episode 3 of REWIRE, Carlos Siqueira tells the story of starting over: one call to his Uncle Fred, a move across the country, and the first weeks of knocking on doors when the rejection hit harder than ever. Motivation didn't bring him back. A list did: his grandmother's medicine, the bills back home in Brazil, and people facing hunger. You'll learn the Back to the Roots tool, why habits take about 66 days and not 21, why finishing is the new edge in the AI era, and how to write the five-minute list that keeps you going when motivation dies.
