I used to drink 20 cups of coffee a day.

My old boss once looked at the pile of empty mugs on my desk and said I just needed an IV drip straight from the machine.

I’ve cut back. Two, maybe three a day now.

I am a changed man.

(I am not a changed man.)

The first one happens alone. After the school run, before the gym. Local cafe, twenty minutes of watching the world go by before the day takes over and stops being mine.

During school holidays that routine disappears. I become a different, significantly worse person.

It’s not really about the coffee. It’s the twenty minutes that belong entirely to me.

Find yours. Protect it.

Anyone who thinks coffee is optional is wrong and I won’t be taking questions.

When a new client tells me he can’t get consistent, I don’t ask him about training. I ask him about Tuesday.

Because Tuesday’s where most plans fall apart. Not because something dramatic happened.

Because the reactive load arrived, the gap closed, and what was planned accommodated what was urgent.

That doesn’t tell me he lacks discipline. It tells me the week has no structural protection.

No amount of better planning fixes a structural problem.

Most training programmes assume your week looks the same as everyone else’s.

Mine doesn’t start with a plan, it starts with figuring out where your specific week actually breaks, then builds around that.

That’s the bit a lot of coaching skips, because a generic 12-week plan is faster to sell than actually listening to someone’s calendar first.

Fix the architecture before the day starts, and the consistency problem usually solves itself. That’s the work. Not harder. Different.

If you want to know where your structure’s breaking down, balanceddadhq.com or DM me.

THE STANDARD FILES - Case 03

I shared Marcus’s story in August. Senior leader, team of twelve, diary technically full and practically useless. Training had stopped nine months before he came to me.

Week two, he told me the 6:30am slot wasn’t going to hold, his first meeting sometimes moved earlier without warning.

Most programmes would have told him to find the discipline to make it work anyway.

Instead I moved the anchor to 6am and built in a fifteen-minute buffer either side.

Not because the original plan was wrong in theory, but because his actual week didn’t match it, and the plan needed to fit his week rather than the other way around.

Four weeks later he said ‘I keep waiting for it to fall apart. It hasn’t yet.’

Three months on I asked what had changed most. He didn’t say training consistency or the Tuesday block. He said something I didn’t expect.

‘The way I run meetings has changed. I finish them on time now. I didn’t realise I was letting them run over because I didn’t have anywhere I needed to be. Now I do. The team’s noticed, they say I seem more decisive.’

This is what structural integrity produces beyond the obvious. The anchors in his week didn’t just protect training and deep work. They changed his relationship with time across the whole day.

The structure became the identity. But it only held because the plan moved to fit his week in week two, rather than asking him to force his week to fit the plan.

Most people come to a first call already able to describe what’s wrong. Tired all the time, can’t get consistent, not the person they used to be at home.

What they usually can’t see is the order. They think the training’s the problem, or the schedule, or the motivation.

So that’s what they’ve been trying to fix, and it keeps not sticking.

The guy who thinks he has a discipline problem usually has an energy problem.

The guy who thinks he needs a better plan usually has a structure problem.

The guy who thinks he just needs to try harder usually has an identity problem he hasn’t named yet.

What I’m listening for in that first call is which of the three is primary.

The sequence is the same every time: energy, structure, identity. But the starting point is different for everyone.

Name it properly, and you know where to start.

Most people assume hiring a coach means getting a plan and a monthly check-in call. That’s not what a week with me looks like.

It starts with something small, a message about how the week’s actually shaping up, not a form or a box to tick.

I’m not tracking whether every session happened. I’m watching for where the week’s about to break, so we can fix it before it does, not explain it afterward.

When something’s off, we change it that week. Not the next block, not next month.

The plan bends around your actual life, because your actual life is what I’m working with, not a template that assumes your week looks like everyone else’s.

Some weeks that means telling you something you don’t want to hear. That’s what accountability actually is, not cheerleading.

Someone willing to say the uncomfortable thing because they’re paying attention to your specific week.

That’s the difference between being handed a programme and having a coach.

If you want to see what week one actually looks like, comment CAPACITY or balanceddadhq.com.

Think about last week.

Did the training you planned for Monday happen?

Did the meeting eat up your proper lunch break on Wednesday?

Did the day let you finish at a reasonable time on Friday?

If most of those went the same way, the plan surviving Sunday but not Tuesday, that’s not bad luck. That’s a structural problem.

The usual fix is to plan better. A more detailed schedule, better time management, an earlier alarm. And the pattern doesn’t change.

Here’s what I’ve seen work with dads on this. There’s a point, usually around week six or seven, when something shifts.

The week stops happening to them and starts running the way they planned.

Not because the week got easier, it didn’t.

But because two or three things were in the diary before anything else could take the space.

The plan didn’t improve. The architecture changed.

Every coach knows this client.

Hasn’t checked in. Hasn’t responded in four days. Has definitely changed the plan we built together.

I can’t coach a client who gives me nothing to coach with. I don’t know what I don’t know.

Sound familiar? You know who you are. 👀

You’ve probably been asked some version of ‘how are your energy levels’ before. Most people answer based on how they feel in the moment. Fine. Tired. Pretty good.

There’s a better question. One that tells you something more useful.

Do you wake up ahead of the day or already behind it? Not the hours of sleep, not how you feel by 10am. Specifically those first few minutes. Is the day already yours, or are you already catching up before it’s started?

It’s rarely a quick answer. People sit with it for a second, then land on the same word almost every time. Behind. Consistently. For months, maybe years.

That single signal tells me more about where the energy work needs to begin than almost any other measure. If it’s behind, sleep quality is almost certainly the starting point.

Ask yourself honestly this week.

Comment “ENERGY” if the answer is behind.

THE STANDARD FILES - Case 02

Priya runs a department of thirty people. By the time she came to me she was convinced the exhaustion was the job, the demands, the pace, the constant context switching. She’d been telling herself that for two years.

It wasn’t the job.

The job was demanding, but the reason it was consuming her completely was that the recovery system underneath it had stopped working. Sleeping badly and not addressing it, skipping meals, training hard when motivated and not at all when she wasn’t.

We spent six weeks on the recovery foundation only. Sleep first. Nutrition structured. Training load matched to what she could actually recover from.

At week five she messaged me on a Thursday afternoon. ‘I just had a thought in the middle of a meeting that had nothing to do with the meeting. I’d forgotten what that felt like.’

Cognitive space. The first sign the system’s working.

Sleep’s been inconsistent, a couple of late nights, an early start that didn’t account for either. Training’s happened but felt harder than it should. The mid-afternoon dip’s shown up more than usual.

My energy’s been rubbish this week and I nearly didn’t post it.

Before I understood the energy system properly I’d have put this down to a busy week and pushed through. Now I know what it’s signalling. Sleep’s the primary thing, when that’s off everything else follows.

So tonight, consistent time, phone out of the room, proper wind-down. Not complicated. Just the thing that needs to happen.

The work I do with dads isn’t theoretical. I live in the same system. Sometimes that’s a reminder I need myself.
