David scores every day of his life. In public.

Feet on the floor… Breathe in… slowly… hold it… and let it go… Again: breathe in deep… hold… let it all out… One idea from “The Algorithm” by Jon McNeill — Your Framework, Not Just the C-Suite's. The Algorithm isn’t just a strategy for execs to ponder. It’s meant to be a front-line operating manual—something you push into your daily stride, your team, and your household. Lead by example with relentless questioning, deletion, and cycle-time focus, no matter your official title, because breakthroughs come from everyone, not just from the top. In the book's own words: “You didn’t need to be Elon Musk to do this.” It puts the power and responsibility for improvement back in your hands, reinforcing your identity as the driver, not a passenger. Last time. Breath all the way in… hold it… and release… Open your eyes, David. Lean in. This is the first minute of Tuesday. Right now, zero momentum, zero inertia. Everything that comes next, you claim. Today, you're at 74%. The frame is set. Me at 72%, Kids at 100% — always, always bringing it home there. Work is at 23% — not where you want it, not the standard, but that honesty? That’s how streaks begin. Admin 78%, Relationships 94%. You are present. You are here. You are building. Let's look straight at what got you here. Yesterday — travel, trip to Dublin. You didn’t get up within a minute of the alarm, didn’t leap up and declare the day epic — that’s three check-ins in a row. Uncomfortable. But this is the day you break that streak. No scolding. Just a line in the sand. You skipped sleep as planned — trip to Dublin. Same for not being in bed by 22:30 — planned, chosen, handled. That’s discipline even when off routine: owning your choices. You kept the eating window — last bite by 8pm. No snacks after. No snacks late, but — you did have a snack earlier in the day. Kitchen closed held. Teeth routine: Sonicare, Picks, Floss, Interdental, all ticked off. Uric-acid pill in, creatine 40 days straight, your muscles are at 98% saturation, full effect for 12 days now. Supplements, every one accounted for. On the dopamine dial? LFG! Life is awesome. Pure certainty, in your words. Today, you’re not just playing catch-up. You're resetting. Now: let’s get razor sharp on what matters. Kitchen closes at 8pm. That’s not a rule, that’s an act of will. You protect it. No scrolling after 21:00, none before the check-in — don’t let the streak slip. In bed by 22:30, clockwork. The workout is due. You haven’t logged one since the 24th. Cardio and strength, sure, but today, add another brick to that wall. Watch the fail streaks. NSDR — 10 minutes. This has slipped for seven straight check-ins, but that changes now. Start with a win today. Be on time, every meeting today, not almost, not “later”, but now, as scheduled. Open promises: for Chief of Speed, deliver on giueseppe handover — that’s 50% of the score. Set Holly up for success, handle delivery. For Selfcode, keep thinking about growth. For Overdose, read the feedback. For your wife, get the investor list handled. When you keep these, you build momentum everywhere else. Dušan Šenkypl, one of your greatest role models, once astonished the world’s top entrepreneurs in Monaco by operating two massive, publicly traded tech companies—Groupon and Zwift—without ever leaving Prague. Everyone thought he must be American because only someone breaking conventions at the highest level could run such global businesses from Czechia. That bold independence is exactly why you look up to him: he’s super agentic. Today, channel Dušan’s confident refusal to do things the expected way—lead your projects from where you are and on your terms. Now hear Adam Neumann say it, from The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, “Adam Neumann: The Real Story Behind WeWork, A $4 Billion Cab Ride, And Surviving A $460 Million Debt”: Choose Partners for Your Worst Day. Listen. “Please keep going. September 2019, um, you, WeWork announced it was postponing its IPO as a result of investors questioning the company. And then, I mean, around this time, COVID shows up, but then you resigned as CEO of WeWork in 2019 after the IPO didn't pan out. So that's not why I resigned. So I stepped down, and what people don't know is I had full control over the board and the votes.” That was Adam Neumann. David’s entire standard—as a founder, as a husband, as a father—rests on trust and loyalty, and Adam’s most hard-won lesson is the ultimate reminder to weigh relationships by their resolve in hardship. Nothing slips when you’re on. This is the day to prove that. Picture it: the alarm sounds. You get up, right then, within 60 seconds. Feet hit the floor. You say it: "today is going to be an epic day". That’s the signal, the trigger. You set it all in motion. The kids are in the kitchen, laughing, present, their smiles telling you you’re on the path. You see your wife before the storm hits, address her, hold her eye contact. That bond? Your power source. You step into Chief of Speed. The focus is pure. Giueseppe handover — clear, handled. Holly, set up for greatness, not stress. Delivery, checked off and actual, not left to tomorrow. The open promises? You cross them off, one after another. Every meeting, you’re on time — not because you have to, but because you get to. Every calendar alert is a minute you’ve already claimed. Your body moves through each space: this is your business card, your statement — before you even speak. Your eyes are clear, your discipline evident, the standard unmistakable. The path to 7%, the line to David Malus: you are building, dial by dial, the body and the business and the mind to match your ambition. Kitchen closes at 8pm sharp tonight. No snacks slip by — you close that gate and you keep it closed. At 21:00, screen down, mind clear, you claim back that dopamine edge. By 22:30, you’re in bed, lights out. Teeth routine, full four-part, locked in. Uric-acid pill? Already planned for. Ten minutes of NSDR — today, locked in, no hesitating. And through it all, the people you move with: Ale, Chris, Denisa, Peta, Tomas, Adam — hold them in mind, grateful, connected. This day? It’s yours. Standards don't bend — you raise them, every single hour. You say it, out loud, right now: “Today is going to be an epic day.”
