Ok so one of my life tracking / 2024 wrapped videos went viral and there’s a ton of new people here 😅 thought I’d share my origin story with you today.

But before I share these wild stories, just a reminder for anyone sick of basic productivity advice made for people with willpower (aka not me)…

I made a life tracking course (deadline today) for lazy, easily distractable (I just got distracted Googling how to spell this word lol), ADHD people (like me!!!).

These are systems that helped me get my life together - beyond just tracking how many times I pooped in a day 😂 

The deadline to enroll is the end of day today - it’s the last cohort before New Year’s, so if you want to get a head start on your goals, this is the last chance!

As one student put it…

“All of what Jen has been teaching me has been useful not only to fixing my own life, but I'm also bringing so much to the table at work. Like wow the ROI on this is REAL.” 🥺 I almost cried when reading her hype message in the course community.

Jan 1, 2025 will be the 8 year anniversary of my poo count

Not sure what compelled me to start tracking my poops though.

I remember when I was a kid my sister would use the family camera to take selfies but scroll too far back and see pics of poops I was super proud of.

She got so mad at me 😭

Maybe it was those hoarder tendencies that predicted my career: someone who documents her life and now teaches other people how to do the same.

Tomorrow will be the 2 year anniversary of me almost getting shot

“Who’s setting off fireworks at 4pm?”

That was my first thought when I heard gunshots while waiting in line for some vegan doughnuts.

(I’m Canadian and I was visiting Portland for a concert…called Trinity of Terror…lol)

I only realized what was happening when I saw someone running,

And someone else pulled me to the ground.

We got into the doughnut shop and huddled there for an hour.

For some reason I took this pic while we were all crouched in the corner 💀 

While waiting, I was thinking…

“If my life ended today, would I have any regrets?”

I knew I wouldn’t.

I felt like I truly lived life to the fullest.

That’s why I didn’t really feel any fear in the moment - I was just thinking about how grateful I was for my fun memories.

(My friends didn’t think it was gratitude though…they said it was copium.)

When we finally felt it was safe to come out, everyone got free doughnuts. It was a delicious reward for the trauma we endured 😭 

Okay so I just checked my journal entry for that day (I’ve kept a daily journal since 2015). It unlocked a memory I must’ve buried.

Apparently right after this happened, we went to an arcade.

My boyfriend (now ex) (for unrelated reasons) chose to play a SHOOTING game 😭 

After that, I stopped living like my time was infinite

I realized my time is the most precious thing I have (and will never get back).

Thankfully, earlier that year (August 2022) I started tracking my time 24/7 because I didn’t know where all my time was going (spoiler alert: it was bc of doomscrolling).

Then, I took years to build out more robust systems:

• Reflecting on whether my habits aligned with my goals every week

• Celebrating my wins every month

• Creating a yearly photo board to help me realize I spent my year well

And now I’m happier than I’ve ever been.

Sometimes I feel like I manifested my dream life, because I can share weird things I’m passionate about with you.

But it wasn’t really manifestation.

It was my own daily, consistent actions and habits that got me here.

And since I’m a lazy girl, those consistent habits only happened because I set up systems to make them easy to do.

These systems changed my life

Every day I feel so grateful because my goal in life is to positively impact other people. And my students always tell me how I helped change their lives:

I shared everything I know in my course - enrollment closes today.

I want to leave you with a challenge…

What’s 1 small action you can take every day that’ll lead you to the person you want to become?

If you ask yourself that question daily, you’ll already make huge progress.

But if you need more support, my course - and inbox - is always here for you.

I reply to every question I get over email.

Til next Monday,

Jennifer
