⏳ 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.
