Justin and Kellan walk through the weekly and daily methodology they use to stay focused — and the simple framework that anchors it: a single named outcome called a finish line. They cover why busy isn't the same as progress, how to start the day from your commitments instead of your inbox, and the routines that make it stick.

- Starting the day from your finish lines, not from the inbox or the calendar
- Kellan's morning brain dump as a way to declutter your mind before action
