Some mornings, ambition looks like a laptop and a blanket.
There’s this myth that success has to be loud, rigid, and aesthetic. Early alarms. Perfect desks. Full glam before emails. Productivity that looks good on the internet.
Real life is quieter.
Running First & Jenn from my bed doesn’t mean laziness. It means adaptability. It means building something that fits into my actual life instead of fighting against it.
Ideas don’t care where you’re sitting. Momentum doesn’t require a chair. Some of my clearest thinking happens before the world fully wakes up, coffee in hand, wrapped in a comforter.
The work still gets done. The emails still go out. The vision still moves forward.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that struggle equals legitimacy. That if it’s comfortable, it must not count. But that’s not true. Sustainable work is the kind you can return to without burning out.
There’s power in designing systems that support you. Power in letting rest and productivity coexist.
Success doesn’t need to be aesthetic. It needs to be consistent.
And if that consistency starts from bed some days, so be it. Progress is progress.
First & Jenn
