<\/div>\n

Do you ever feel like you work hard all day, but have nothing to show for it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You were busy, so surely you actually did<\/em> something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s a disconnect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, you\u2019d have already achieved at least half the goals you set for yourself a few months ago, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You claim to want these things, and you claim to do the things that will get you there\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet here you are, spinning your wheels day in and day out, with next to nothing to show for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy the hell haven\u2019t I made more progress?\u201d<\/em> you wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s probably a simple explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re confusing your watchadoon<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not a typo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me explain\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Watchadoon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A watchadoon is a small creature with large, curious eyes, and carries a tiny notebook to write down their observations in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve probably never seen your watchadoon, because they\u2019re incredibly shy (and can turn invisible if necessary). But it\u2019s always looking over your shoulder and trying to understand what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See, watchadoon don\u2019t understand humans. But they\u2019re fascinated by us and have a deep curiosity about the world. So each watchadoon is assigned a human to observe, take notes on, and report back to its little village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since it\u2019s so shy, it can\u2019t just ask you what you\u2019re doing. It can only observe your actions and draw conclusions based<\/em> on your actions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of it like a tiny anthropologist\u2014it doesn\u2019t interact, it only observes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its curious nature and love of understanding humans, we frequently do things that confuse our watchadoon\u2014and this is why you\u2019re not getting the results you want.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what I mean\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
