My 11:50 Rule (sharing it with you)

A few weeks ago, I was stuck.

I had two paths in front of me.

Both had pros.

Both made sense.

Both were “good options.”

But one felt… safer.

More reasonable. Predictable.

The other felt… riskier. A little louder in my gut. A little uncomfortable.

So I asked myself one question:

That question changed everything.

Because it made me zoom out.

Made me look past the stress of now and into the pride of looking back.

I pictured it clearly:

It’s the end of the year.I’m sitting quietly, reflecting.
No noise. No drama. Just asking:

And suddenly, the decision became obvious.

I’ve made it a rule now:

I call it the 11:50 Rule.

Because those last 10 minutes of the year don’t lie.

They’re when your calendar turns into memory.

When the days blur together…

But the decisions stand out.

The scary one.

The one that stretched you.

The one you almost didn’t take.

So if you’re stuck on something right now…

A decision, a leap, a message you haven’t sent, a project you’re scared to start…

Try this:

Then do that.

Even if it’s scary.

Especially if it is.

To your growth,
