⏳ Currencies of Progress
(and why they matter more than motivation)
Every day, you’re spending three core currencies: Time, Attention, and Resources. Spend them without strategy, and you end up broke — burned out, distracted, and stuck. Spend them wisely, and your momentum compounds like interest.
1️⃣ Time ⏳
Your most obvious currency. You can spend it intentionally or waste it accidentally — but once it’s gone, it’s gone.
The question isn’t “Do I have time?” — it’s “What’s getting my time?”
💡 Strong Code Tip:
Audit one day of your life.
Write down where every hour goes.
You’ll be shocked at how much “extra time” you actually have.
2️⃣ Attention 🎯
This is your mental bandwidth — your focus.
Time without attention is just existence. You could have two free hours, but if your attention is split between your phone, email, and to-do list… you won’t get far.
💡 Strong Code Tip:
Create “focus zones” in your day — blocks where one task gets 100% of your attention.
No multitasking.
No notifications.
3️⃣ Resources 🛠️
Your tools, skills, energy, and environment. Even with time and focus, poor resources slow your progress to a crawl.
💡 Strong Code Tip:
Ask yourself: “What skill, tool, or environment shift would make this 10x easier?”
Then start there.
🚀 Why This Matters
Your currencies fuel your journey. If you run out, you stop moving — no matter how motivated you are. That’s why The Strong Code’s PPE Method (Plan → Prepare → Execute) begins here.
