High-Speed Trains Don't Get Stopped
Inspired by Tanguy Crusson episode
Tanguy's Atlassian lesson—protect fragile products by creating velocity—works for protecting fragile new routines from stakeholder interference.
Your morning routine is a regional commuter line: stops at every station, people getting on and off, a guy eating tuna. Meanwhile, a high-speed train in Switzerland just *looks* at a stop sign and keeps going.
You shuffle out of bed at 6:47 AM. Should you shower? Text your boss? Rearrange your kitchen? Each micro-decision is a tiny person throwing themselves in front of your face. By 7:15 you haven't even brushed your teeth.
High-speed trains don't negotiate. They move with such velocity that obstacles don't register as problems—they're just blur. No time for indecision. No room for seventeen breakfast options.
Build momentum and watch obstacles bounce off you like bugs on a windshield. Wake up, execute, move. Don't think about it. Don't debate it. Don't ask your therapist about it. Once you're rolling, nobody can derail you. Not your email. Not your anxiety. Not your mother calling about her WiFi password.
Momentum is protective force. Become the TGV. Leave small obstacles wondering what the hell just happened.
