The Bryson Every Day Project

11:39pm, April 5th, 2024, Desk, UT I kept my word with the 3:30am ice bath and lost sleep because of how petrified I was of breaking that promise I made. It sounds so silly, but at the root of it all, this is what it’s all about. I said I would do something, and I got it done despite everything else. That is extremely powerful shit.  Spent about 4 hours today designing a new podcast cover art. Doi...

8:02pm, April 4th, 2024, Desk, UT My time management skills are garbage. How do I know? Because I had 10 extra hours in my day today to get things done. I got less done today than other days where I had more structure. Which goes back to the thing I mentioned about 75 Hard being harder if you have more days off from your job. Or just more freetime in general.  Also came to the realization today th...

8:13pm, April 3rd, 2024, Desk, UT  Taxing day mentally, so, low effort on this one (I’m sure it’ll be funny to look back on this in 6 years to see how this easy peasy taxing day was so hard for me now). Quick mini-updates in this one. Also hit 400 downloads today was which very cool. Fastest we’ve hit 100 which was 11 days. I’m averaging about 5-7 listens per new episode now and then a few extra f...

8:32pm, April 2nd, 2024, Desk, UT Everyone knows what the golden rule is. Treat others how you want to be treated right? The actual origin I believe is “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” Meaning… Act the way you want others to act toward you… right? So… I don’t want a christmas gift, so I’m not buying you one. Or I don’t want you at my wedding, so I’m not going to yours. Or I d...

8:34pm, April 1st, 2024, Desk, UT I’ve been learning about creating offers that are so good people feel stupid saying no. Today was my first AHA moment where it clicked for me. It felt empowering as hell. So that is what I’ll be working on and crafting up from here on out until launch day comes. Very excited to have that sense of direction in the business and growth sense. I’ve been working on mys...

8:06pm, March 32nd, 2024, Desk, UT I've come to the realization that after 165 episodes, that I will in fact continue making more episodes after this.  April Fools. Gottem. Damn. 

8:55pm, March 31st, 2024, FedEx Truck, Magna UT I’ll be 100% honest here, I can’t remember what I talked about. I’m writing this hours later and my brain is fried. What a day huh.  Also, I don’t like the fact I’m just leaving it at that. But I also love the fact that I am because it documents the journey in real time. It shows the fact that I’m flawed and make mistakes. That’s what makes it more r...

7:17pm, March 30th, 2024, Desk, UT I am stoked to have the amount of options that I do to record in. Garage, bedroom living space, wherever. I like the idea of the garage because it’s unusual, yet poetic in the long term. I’m going to be more intentful with the day to day I share on here because that is the point of the show to begin with. To document the day to day. And I feel like I haven’t been...

11:44pm, March 29th, 2024, Desk, UT I now realize it’s not the 30th. Whoops. Anyway, yeah I need to start doing the harder shit first. That’s pretty much the entire show right there. Also, I recorded with my phone on my bed. The quality is 100% better than using my mic and investing in sound proofing panels. Funny how people think you need the best equipment for quality but in all reality all you...

10:12pm, March 28th, 2024, Desk, UT Title says it all for this one. You can really avoid a lot of struggles and hardships in life if you just suck it up and work harder than everyone else. That truly is the beginning and end of the lesson here. Take this and run with it.

7:30pm, March 27th, 2024, Desk, UT  For one, it’s always something. There’s always 1 little thing that shows up. I’m going to coin this the Law of Always 1. There is ALWAYS something that was missed, overlooked, or forgotten. Today ran smooth, except I need to sleep in 30 minutes and have 58oz of water to down still. Great. I’ve had those brutal self doubts coming in hot the last few days. So much...

7:15pm, March 26th, 2024, Desk, UT Little dilemma here is that it’s very difficult to get good quality work in when I am tired as shit. My schedule is fairly “fit” in the sense that there’s not much wiggle room to move things around and experiment. The one thing I could do is swap my sleep schedule to be from 8-3am to 3-10pm. Then live life between the hours of 10 and 4am. That would put the gym a...

7:59pm, March 25th, 2024, Desk, UT (Shitty airpod quality). I have 2 podcasts. This is one. The other is not yet out, but it is going to be the “professional” one that focuses on bringing a ton of value. Guests, quality, video, youtube, etc are all to come with that one. This one is just meant to document the day to day as it happens in real time. For no other reason than to be here for the people...

6:11pm, March 24th, 2024, Desk, UT I spent a good chunk of the morning today writing this podcast out, designing the cover art, and putting it altogether. I found immense joy in doing this despite being stressed off my ass. I feel incredible now having gotten it done. Like Episode 100, I’m going to just drop the entire word doc of notes of this show in this description below. I covered vulnerable,...

10:51pm, March 23rd, 2024, Desk, UT I was brainstorming today about how I could make the energy cost of my life go down so that I had more in the tank when it comes time to work on myself. Some of the things that I can do is stop caring about certain aspects and focus on what actually matters most. I place a lot of weight on certain things that just don’t matter. That costs me mental energy. I wan...

6:45pm, March 22nd, 2024, Desk, UT Why should I? Why should you? For what reason? For what purpose? Why? Ask yourself questions. Ask other people questions. Be okay with being wrong but learning faster as a result. The opposite of that is fearing failure and learning exponentially slower. Easy choice if you value growth and learning. I think we, collectively, need to start spending more time in ou...

7:32pm, March 21st, 2024, Desk, UT I didn't do shit all day today. I guess when I say "all day" I am referencing the three hour gap that I have after I get off of work and the time before I have to go to bed. It feels like such a waste when I just sit here and do nothing. I beat myself up quite a bit because of it. And I think because I do that, I get very worn out mentally because I am beating my...

8:07pm, March 20th, 2024, Desk, UT All sorts of emotions in this one. I am grateful. I am stressed. I am feeling serendipitous. I am feeling exhausted. I’ve got myself committed to so much right now and sometimes I feel like I am trying to swim with a cinderblock tied to my ankle. And the cold hard truth is I’m not even doing anything yet. I’m just spending all my free time trying to learn and edu...

8:14pm, March 19th, 2024, Bedroom, UT I have been gamifying my life by tracking multiple areas and trying to see patterns so that I can best recreate the better days and be as productive as I possibly can. One of the things I have recently incorporated is that I set a timer for when I work on myself/business/dreams/goals/etc., and don’t allow myself to do anything else until the timer is done. I c...

5:52pm, March 18th, 2024, Desk, UT I opted out of my retirement investments. I no longer am putting money into my retirement plan. Here’s why in a nutshell:  If you invest $200 per month starting at age 20 with an average annual return of 7% compounded monthly, you could potentially have $824,200 by age 60 (the numbers could be off, I don’t care enough to make them exact. It’s for illustrative pur...

3:37pm, March 17th, 2024, Car/Gym, UT I actually felt good about this one. It makes me feel like I actually have something valuable to share with the world when I can (at least I feel this way) nail a particular idea. Progress baby. But anyway, I’m going to copy and paste my notes I wrote for this. I didn’t write the notes for this episode, I just write here and there. Sometimes I put a lot more w...

10:11pm, March 16th, 2024, Desk, UT Something I have been doing recently is immediately writing down my thoughts as they come to me that are of some sort of value – at least to me. I think sometimes I have very unique perspectives and thoughts arise, so I've been trying to save each of them by writing them in my notes app on my phone to refer back on later and add to or write more about. It’s been...

11:16pm, March 15th, Desk Chair, UT Title says it all man. Unproductive. Still got everything done, but it was executed so poorly. I mean its 11:18pm as i write this. I had all day. Live & learn.

2:47pm, March 14th, 2024, Car, UT I think the story in this episode of how I let my insecurities bleed is a perfect example of how our perception and views, based on our values, can lead us to act and behave certain ways depending on the context. For example, in the story here, I previously felt $2000 was a lot for rent. Anyone who I viewed to be in the same position as me who spent $2000 on rent...

8:58pm, March 13th, 2024, Laundry, UT I woke up yesterday with the plans of touring a potential place to live in 5 months. I will go to sleep tonight with confirmation that I am moving in 2.5 months to that exact place on June 1st. My application went through extremely quickly and I was approved and accepted. In a matter of 1 day, my life's trajectory was shifted substantially. I am very grateful...
