Don't Expect Better Tomorrow

The Idea

$DEBT is a mantra about momentum.

It starts like a price tag and reads like a warning. Don't Expect Better Tomorrow is not about cynicism—it's about ownership. When we assume the future will rescue us, we borrow against it. We take on debt: of time, attention, health, and promises we haven't kept.

This page is a white room with a loud sign. The message is simple: the only tomorrow you can count on is the one you start paying for today. Interest compounds—on money, on habits, on neglected tasks. So does clarity.

Swap hope-as-strategy for action-as-default. Small payments, made daily, erase frightening balances.

DDecide today
EExecute something small
BBreak work into wins
TTrack and tweak

There's always a bill. Delay turns into drift. Drift becomes denial. Denial hardens into a story about why things can't change. $DEBT interrupts that story. It says: pay a little now—a minute of movement, a single outreach, one honest line in the journal. Make it boring. Make it repeatable. Make it yours.

If you want a better tomorrow, build a better today loop: decide, do, debrief, repeat. That's how interest flips from what's owed to what's earned.

Make it practical

A 10‑minute daily payment plan

1 minute to choose the smallest meaningful action. 8 minutes to do it heads‑down. 1 minute to write what changed. That's it. Set a timer. Pay the balance. Log the receipt.

Tomorrow might be kinder. It might not. Either way, you'll meet it with less debt and more leverage.
