The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
Year of Obsession Framework
A commitment strategy where you choose one area to become completely obsessed with for an entire year, believing that singular focus can create life-changing results
How It Works
Concentrates all discretionary time, energy, and mental resources on one domain, creating exponential rather than linear progress through compound effort
Components
Choose one obsession domain (fitness, business, skill, relationship)
Say no to most other discretionary activities
Structure daily routines around the obsession
Measure progress religiously
Find community around your obsession
When to Use
When you want to make a significant breakthrough in one area, when feeling scattered across too many priorities, or when seeking identity transformation
When Not to Use
When basic life maintenance is struggling, during major life transitions, or if you have non-negotiable commitments in multiple areas
Anti-Patterns to Avoid
Example
“Someone obsessed with fitness for a year might work out daily, read only fitness books, listen only to fitness podcasts, join fitness communities, and measure every metric”
