The People You Carry Into Winter Decide Your Spring

Travel light. Plant heavy.

Winter Is Selection Season: Cut Noise, Keep Signal

Winter contracts on purpose. Less sun, fewer rooms, quieter phones. Use it. Who you keep now will determine what blooms when the light returns.

Run the Audit: Allies, Liabilities, Parasites

Allies add energy, tell the hard truth, and move in silence.
Liabilities stall, confuse, and drag decisions.
Parasites harvest your time, attention, or status. Label them fast. Act faster.

Keep or Cut: Read the Signals, Not the Stories

Keep: consistency, reciprocity, clean boundaries, real results.
Cut: subtle contempt, delay tactics, gossip, debt without return.
If you need a paragraph to justify someone, you already have the answer.

Standards Over Stories: One Line, One Consequence

Say it once: “That won’t work for me.” Hold the line without theater. Replace debates with distance. Your standards aren’t a group vote.

Winter Protocol (30–60 Days): Ghost to Grow

• Protect mornings: deep work, no feeds.
• Close loops: old favors, vague threads, lingering debt.
• Fewer rooms, deeper work: batch outreach, zero small talk.
• Weekly reset: goals, blocks, next moves—document, don’t announce.

Scripts That End the Drain (No Drama Needed)

• “I’m heads-down this season. Let’s revisit in spring.”
• “Access follows alignment.”
• “I don’t have capacity for that.”
• “Here’s my boundary. If it holds, we continue.”

Build the Circle You’ll Plant With

One mentor (upfield truth), one peer (iron sharpens), one protégé (teach to remember). Shared scoreboard > shared opinions. Meet weekly; measure outcomes, not vibes.

Metrics That Predict a Clean Spring

• Hours in deep work vs. meetings
• Money/time reclaimed from cuts
• Fewer threads; stronger results
• Fewer explanations; clearer moves

When to Walk Away: The Three-Strike Reality

Missed word. Missed window. Missed respect. If you feel smaller after every interaction, the price is your spring.
