Why You're Addicted to Chaos

(and what to do about it)

You think you have a focus problem. You don’t.
You have a chaos addiction - and it’s far more dangerous.

Chaos is seductive. It keeps you stimulated. It gives you the illusion of progress. It rewards starting and punishes finishing. Chaos is the perfect enemy of execution.. and you’re letting it run your mind.

What Chaos Looks Like:

• Constantly starting, rarely finishing

• Reading to “learn,” but never integrating

• Jumping between ideas, projects, identities

• Calling it “curiosity” when it’s just avoidance

Why You Let It Win:

1. Ego safety – As long as it’s a draft, you can’t fail.

2. Stimulus over strategy – It feels like motion, but it’s just noise.

3. Avoidance disguised as ambition – You’re “working on it,” not building it.
