Most teens don’t need more hours in the day, they need to stop losing the hours they already have.

In Part 2 of this 3-part series, we tackle the second bottleneck to high performance: time management.

You’ll discover:

• Why a checklist isn’t a strategy
• How most students spend ⅓ to ⅔ of their day on autopilot
• The one-page system I teach that helps students reclaim time, sharpen focus, and reduce overwhelm
• Why small daily reflections unlock massive long-term progress

Why do some teens seem to effortlessly rise to the top—winning scholarships, earning Ivy League acceptances, and excelling in everything they do—while others with similar stats struggle to stand out?

In this first episode of a 3-part series, we uncover the real barriers to high performance—starting with the most overlooked: stamina.

You’ll learn:

• Why energy (not ambition!) is the true foundation of performance
• How chronic sleep deprivation sabotages productivity, decision-making, and emotional control
• The simple but powerful habits inside the Ivy League Health Challenge
• How one overcommitted student made a single change, and everything got better

What if college admissions isn’t about being more impressive, but about being more clear?

In this episode, I break down why so many hardworking, high-achieving students are rejected from top colleges, and what actually separates students who get admitted from those who don’t.

Drawing on recent early-decision results (including acceptances to Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell, and Vanderbilt, plus $100,000 scholarships) I explain the hidden trap families fall into when they chase what they think admissions officers want.

You’ll learn:

• Why “doing more” often makes applications weaker, not stronger
• The two questions admissions officers are really trying to answer
• How the Impressiveness Trap creates noise instead of clarity
• What successful students do differently to become “obvious admits”
• Why starting earlier (8th–11th grade) dramatically reduces stress and increases options
  
  

I also share details about the upcoming live workshop, Hacking College Admissions, where you can learn how to build a clear, strategic plan that actually works. Register for free at TILC.to/janworkshop

If you want your teen to have real options. Confidence instead of panic, this episode is for you.
