Plop...I sit at my desk to write...nothing.

Brain fog.

Just had Mexican-American breakfast: tortillas, eggs, bacon, and potatoes.

But no tengo energy.

What do I do?

Crack open Instagram by default. It's too easy not to.

RIGHT?

Last night, you were motivated to work on your side hustle, but the next morning felt like a drag.

Something doesn’t add up.

Annoying, isn’t it?

The desire to do deep, meaningful work but you're just there at your desk like a slumped blob flicking a shiny screen.

The fix is simple but not easy.

Here are the culprits of low energy:

Bad habits – sleep, diet, and movement.

They play a huge role in your brain’s ability to focus.

How?

Quality rest boosts learning and memory helping your brain recharge.

Without it, you function at 40-60% (if you’re lucky).

Movement improves blood flow (brain energy) and good food brings nutrients to fuel focus.

As an ex-personal trainer, I still used to struggle with good eating habits and going to bed on time.

But once I discovered a few simple health hacks, my performance shot through the roof.

I felt like my college days were back.

Endless energy and motivation.

No more slogging through code or writing sessions.

No more telling my kids I’ll play with them later.

No more easy dopamine on social media.

Motivation comes after clarity

Last week we confidently defined your 3 layers of clarity.

• What your #1 priority is

• Why you’re motivated to stick to it

• How your personality aligns with that goal

You can be the Energizer Bunny but without a clear path, you end up chasing your own cotton tail.

I used to struggle with burnout because I chased other people’s goals. I had no clear plan. And even if I found one, it wasn’t right for me.

That’s why I built The Energy Checklist (Step 2 of The Focus Fix) where I show you how I keep my performance high daily.

Anyone can do it.

I don’t care if you have 10 jobs and 20 hobbies.

Nail 80% of the checklist and you'll be on par with the 20-year-olds on 400mg of caffeine and student loan money.

Only you'll keep your organs intact and reach financial freedom faster.

After 11+ years of testing and science-backed research, I'm confident these will work for you.

My clients had success so I'm sharing the wealth (and health)!

Give it a look and see which ones you're missing right now.

Next week, I’ll show you The Holy Grail of Focus and how it eliminated my frustrating habit of checking social media instead of building my life’s work.

Stay focused,

Brand Marz

P.S.

Brain fog isn't fun.

Neither is another template in your Notion dash collecting digital dust.

I use at least 80% of the Energy Checklist daily to help me manage my:

• Family of 4

• Side hustle

• Fitness routine

• Full-time engineering job

• Country living responsibilities

• Content system on multiple platforms

All without getting pulled by the magnet of social media.

If any item looks overwhelming, skip it or start with a smaller commitment.

And if you already have the energy to outplay a 6-year-old, no worries (I envy you)!

Pick it up here before 30 downloads (21 as of now). I’m adding a price after.
