    Why Your Resolutions Fail by January 15th (And How to Upgrade the System Instead)

    The January 15th slump is real. While the rest of the world is mourning their broken resolutions, Nate and Di are busy re-engineering the friction out of their lives. In this episode, we’re moving past the “all-or-nothing” trap of New Year’s goals and focusing on System Upgrades. We dive into how to stop beating yourself up for failing a binary goal and start building “sanity-saving” workflows for your real life. In this episode, we discuss: The Hangout Spot: Why Nate spent his PTO building a privacy-forward social app just to remove the “Red Receipt Anxiety” from his friendships. The “Life-Size Pack” Problem: Di’s strategy for organizing bulk-buy chaos and upgrading her home office without falling into the DIY “three-month delay” trap. The Scheduled Text Hack: How Nate’s brother has been “ghost-writing” birthday wishes for a decade, and why you should be scheduling your life via long-press. Habit Tracking vs. Progress Tracking: Moving from “I failed Dry January” to “I’m optimizing my habits.” The Garage Box Method: A simple, low-tech system for decluttering that actually works for scatterbrained high-achievers. Tech & Tools Mentioned: Replit & Firebase: For “Vibe Coding” your way into a better life. Nextcloud & Collectives: Building a personal knowledge base that lives in your closet. Microsoft Loop: The “modern OneNote” that is changing how Di recaps the season. The Challenge: We challenge you to pick five systems in your life—not goals, not resolutions—and find one way to reduce the friction this week. “It’s not about the yes or no; it’s about making progress so you have less anxiety.” Visit us at typeaunhinged.com and join the organized chaos.

    The Man with the Red Phone: Controlling Chaos at 30,000 Feet

    What happens when a Type A personality is responsible for thousands of lives at 30,000 feet? You get someone like Ted, a man who literally had a red phone in his office—and not for decoration. After a career in the Air Force, Ted spent decades inside the FAA, moving from the high-pressure seat of an air traffic controller to investigating crash sites and ultimately helping lead the team that redesigned the entire U.S. national airspace. He has made a living turning potential chaos into meticulous order. In this conversation, we pull back the curtain on the moments that defined his career. We get into the high-stakes, goosebump-inducing stories from inside the control tower and explore how a Type A mindset can be both a superpower and a challenge in a world where there is zero room for error. In this episode, we cover: The monumental task of redesigning the national airspace (and the resistance you face). How to manage the immense pressure and responsibility of air traffic control. Transitioning a lifetime of government expertise into the private consulting world. The Type A’s struggle with retirement and the challenge of finding purpose after a life of structure. One critical lesson from a career spent keeping the skies safe. Whether you’re a fellow Type A, fascinated by high-stakes professions, or just want to hear stories you won’t get anywhere else, this episode is for you.
