I Had the Time. I Just Didn’t Have the Capacity.
🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕
Dear Readers,
For a while, I kept telling myself I didn’t have time.
Not enough hours. Too many obligations. A schedule that felt tighter than it actually was.
But then there was a day when time opened up — and nothing changed.
The hours were there. The space existed. And yet, the thing I thought I’d finally get to… stayed untouched.
That’s when it became obvious: time wasn’t the constraint.
Capacity was.
When Thinking Harder Stops Working [Ad]
Most people assume progress comes from effort or insight. But research shows real change often begins when the brain shifts how it’s operating — not what it’s thinking.
This short audio uses specific sound patterns designed to influence brainwave activity linked to focus, calm, and decision clarity. No affirmations. No visualization. No forcing.
Some notice mental pressure drop first. Others say decisions feel easier afterward. If what you just read made sense but didn’t fully move anything yet, this is often the next step.
There’s a difference between having availability and having the internal bandwidth to use it. One is logistical. The other is neurological.
I was trying to use free time with a mind that was already full.
So I did what I usually do in that state — light tasks, easy decisions, low-stakes activity. Things that didn’t require presence.
It wasn’t wrong. It just wasn’t effective.
At some point, it became clear that no amount of planning or rearranging was going to change what that moment required.
Not more discipline.
Not better scheduling.
Something deeper had to shift first.
Until next time,
Alex R
