First two weeks of January look busy on paper, dead in practice.
Big opener, quick answer, second question … then replies shrivel from sentences to syllables.

That’s drift, and it’s measurable.
Drift Metric = reply length + delay × day of week.
When length halves while delay doubles inside 48 hours, you’re on a downhill conveyor belt.

Most people squint at the third or fourth slowdown and think it’s mood.
Wrong timestamp.
The first inflection hits at hour 48.
Miss it and you’ll fight gravity until January 31, gripping a thread that’s already snapped.

that’s why i built The 90-Day Filter Playbook (25% off) to help you stop rewarding chaos and start filtering with precision

Because once drift sets in, every extra text is CPR on a patient without a pulse.
Momentum isn’t rescued with volume — it’s preserved with timing.

Tomorrow we workshop your personal Drift Metric calculator so you see the slope before you step on it.

If this hit and you want the deeper frameworks for reading intention, breaking loops, and leading from message #1, step into Signals+ (7-day free trial built for this exact shift)
