How I Replaced Netflix With Life-Changing Daily Growth

Published 2025-02-10 14-13
Summary
From endless Netflix binges to purposeful growth: See how trading one hour of screen time sparked a transformation, and get actionable steps to break free from “someday” thinking.
The story
Before: Endless scrolling, binge-watching Netflix, and promising myself “tomorrow” would be different. Making the same empty resolutions, stuck in a loop of “someday.”
After: Trading one hour of screen time to learn something new changed everything. Starting small—reading a chapter, taking an online course, practicing a skill. Those tiny steps? They add up fast.
Look, I get it. Change feels huge when you’re staring at the mountain. But here’s what I learned: you don’t need motivation. You need momentum. One small win leads to another. Even failures become fuel when you learn from them.
That’s why I wrote “The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21.” It’s the guide I needed when I was spinning my wheels. No motivational fluff—just real strategies that work. Because leveling up isn’t about massive overhauls. It’s about smart trades: bad habits for better ones, excuses for action, comfort for growth.
Want to join me? Start with one change today. Just one. Let’s see where it takes you.
