What if the real problem isn’t your motivation, your to-do list, or your morning routine?

What if you’re not lazy—you’re exhausted?

• Why rest is the ultimate power move (yes, really)
• The real reason you keep falling to the bottom of your own priority list
• How to stop measuring your worth by your productivity
• John and Katie’s personal routines that actually work for ambitious creatives
