The 1-Hour Habit That Builds Focus and Reduces Friction

In partnership with

Hey friends,

We get it—your calendar is stacked, your inbox is overflowing, and the last thing you want to think about is what’s for dinner. (Unless “protein bar and caffeine” counts as a meal strategy. We’ve been there.)

Here’s the thing: when food becomes an afterthought, your focus takes the hit.

This week, we’re breaking down a better way—one that doesn’t require becoming a meal prep influencer or spending Sunday buried in Tupperware. Just one hour, a simple system, and a strategy you can actually stick to.

No more takeout guilt or decision fatigue. Just clarity, energy, and meals that work with your life—not against it.

Let’s get into it.

Forget Normal—Discover Your Peak Health

Normal checkups don’t actually keep you healthy. They react to things too late, scratch the surface of what might actually be going on inside you, and are slow.

What if there was a better way to keep tabs on your health?

🧠 This Week’s Shared Shift

Meal Prep = Cognitive Infrastructure

If you’re building a business and a life together, you don’t have time for low-ROI decisions. Planning your meals in advance isn’t just about being “healthy”—it’s about defending your clarity, energy, and execution.

Founders like Alex & Leila Hormozi have admitted to eating not the best during scale. But what if your meals could fuel your mission—not sabotage it?

📊 Why It Works

Studies show that decision fatigue leads to:

• Lower willpower

• Less patience with your partner

• Higher stress response

Meal prepping removes that friction and gives you:
✅ Clean energy
✅ Sharper thinking
✅ Fewer “what’s for lunch?” moments that break momentum

Stat Insight: Research shows that planning meals in advance reduces daily decision-making pressure and supports healthier eating patterns—helping busy professionals reclaim mental energy.

🤝 Do This Together

• Block 1 hour on Sunday for joint prep.

• Choose 3 meals or snacks to batch together.

⚡Customizing It to Your Level or Goal

Meal Prep for Your Lifestyle:

• For the Time-Constrained Founder:

  • Challenge: Limited time for meal preparation.

  • Solution: Prepare large batches of versatile ingredients (e.g., grilled chicken, roasted vegetables) that can be mixed and matched throughout the week.

• For the Health-Focused Couple:

  • Challenge: Maintaining a balanced diet amidst a busy schedule.

  • Solution: Plan meals with a balance of macronutrients—lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats—to sustain energy levels.

• For the Culinary Enthusiasts:

  • Challenge: Desire for variety without daily cooking.

  • Solution: Experiment with different spices, fresh herbs and easy sauces in your meal prep to keep flavors exciting.

👉 If you want simple wins:

• Hard-boiled eggs, overnight oats, smoothie bags, veggie packs

• Stock up on IQ Bars or David’s protein bars

👉 If you prefer structured convenience:

• Mix in 2–3 Sunbasket meals each week to supplement your prepped meals (we recommend Sunday + midweek)

👉 If you're all in:

• Batch cook 2 proteins (like grilled chicken + ground turkey), 2 grains, 2 veggies
