The Two-Hour Reality

Most productivity advice assumes you’re optimizing your entire day.

But that’s not reality.

Work takes 8 hours. Sleep takes 8 more. Cooking, family time, basic life maintenance fills most of the rest.

What you’re really optimizing for is maybe 2 hours of discretionary time.

Maybe an hour in the morning before things get hectic. Maybe an hour in the evening after everything settles down.

The consumption vs creation debate isn’t about revolutionizing your whole life. It’s about what you do with those precious few windows.

That’s when you’re actually choosing: do I scroll or do I write? Do I watch or do I build?

Forget the grand life overhaul. Just win those 2 hours.
