Finally Friday (Dec 5, 2025) - Week 6
Yep, I skipped week 5. Life was life. Had to get some things together. No real excuse for not staying consistent, but it happened. We're not gonna bitch about it, just get right back at it. Week 6. Here are three things that mattered.
The North Face Men's Chilkat V Lace-up Waterproof Snow Boot
What it is: Insulated, waterproof snow boots. These thing are legit winter boots, not just some fashionable boots you'll see on a tiktok outfit of the day.
Why it matters: It's been freezing in Michigan this past week. I was out here in Yeezys like a goofy. My feet were numb and getting wet from the snow melting into my shoes once the heat cut on. You know cold feet aren't just uncomfortable, they irritate you and kill your mood. You can't move right, everything slows down, and if you're like me they don't warm until the next day when you go right back out there.
Grabbed these North Face boots. Warm. Waterproof. My feet actually feel normal again. It's a small thing, but when you're trying to get momentum, you can't afford to be slowed down by something as simple as frozen feet. Winter doesn't care about you trying to look cute lol.

Wood Cutting Board
What it is: A solid wood cutting board.
Why it matters: I've been trying to cook more at home. Was on a steak and eggs run for about 3-4 days until my stomach randomly said "enough." But having this board made everything easier. Prepping felt more intentional.
And idk... I kinda looked forward to using it. Something about the weight of it, the sound of the knife on wood. Even just looking at the board out when I came home made cooking feel less like a chore and more like something I'm actually doing for a purpose. I got mine at a local TJ Maxx, but the one in the link is similar.
Small upgrades in your environment change how you process things. You know the old Deion Sanders quote, "If you look good, you feel good, If you feel good, you play good, If you play good, they pay good." So when the tools feel good, the work feels good. And if the food...shit I messed that up but you get the point lol. Cook your own food. Control what goes in your body, because it matters. I haven't been perfect this week but I'm getting there.
Where you can get it: Here
Power Drill Brush Detailing Kit
What it is: A set of drill powered brushes for deep cleaning. Attaches to any power drill and scrubs everything faster and harder than I can by hand.
Why it matters: Aimlessly scrolling TikTok like we all do and saw some guy deep cleaning his fridge and the rest of his house with this thing. Shrugged my shoulders and said I need one of those. So I bought it immediately.
This weekend I'm planning on doing some deep cleaning thanks to this purchase. Your environment reflects your mind. If your space is cluttered, dirty, and neglected it rubs off on you. You might not notice it consciously, but I can tell it's impacting me.
My mind is already going a million miles an hour in chaos. Maybe getting things a bit more clean and organized will free up some space in my head. Clean your space. Clear your mind.

That's week 6.
We're back.
This Marathon continues, as Nip would say... even when you miss a mile like last week.
