Zero Distortion with Russ Bates

Episode 57: The 90-Day Rule


Listen Later

Most people fail at change because they aim too far out.

One-year goals. Five-year plans. Total life overhauls. The target is so far away it never feels real — and eventually, people quit.

In this episode of Zero Distortion, we break down the 90-Day Rule — a simple, practical framework for creating real progress without burnout, overwhelm, or motivational hype.

Instead of trying to change everything, the 90-Day Rule focuses on:

-One clear priority (not five, not ten)

-Subtracting distractions before adding new habits

-Building boring, repeatable consistency

-Tracking real progress instead of feelings

-Reviewing and resetting every 90 days with clarity, not guilt

Ninety days is long enough to see measurable results — and short enough to stay disciplined. It creates urgency without overwhelm, structure without burnout, and momentum without fantasy.

January isn’t a clean slate. It’s just a starting line. You don’t need the whole year figured out. You need the next 90 days handled.

Instead of asking, “Where do I want to be this year?” Ask this: Who do I want to be in 90 days — and what does that require today?

That question changes behavior. And behavior changes everything.
