The Rule for Day 6

If a decision repeats, it gets locked in.
No debating.
No re-evaluating.
No mood-based changes.
Your Day 6 Challenge: Lock the Decision
Open your Warrior Log.
Choose one recurring action from this challenge:
movement
writing
study
planning
recovery
Now lock it in by writing:
Every day at ______, I will ______.
That’s it.
No backup plan.
No alternatives.
No “unless I’m tired.”
If the time arrives, you begin.
Why This Works
Your brain craves certainty.
When decisions are pre-made:
resistance drops
stress decreases
action feels normal
You stop asking “Should I?”
and start asking “What’s next?”
This is how discipline turns into routine.
The Standard
You don’t rely on motivation.
You don’t wait for perfect conditions.
You operate from pre-commitment.
End-of-Day Reflection
Tonight, write one paragraph answering:
What decision did I lock in today?
How did it feel to remove the debate?
What energy did I save by not negotiating?
Remember This
Freedom doesn’t come from unlimited choices.
It comes from fewer decisions.
Decide once.
Execute daily.
Eliminate negotiation.
Day 6 complete. ⚔️
