I run full cycle in security tooling and I've been at this company about two and a half years. I've got a deal around 40k where my champion keeps blocking me from her VP, and every time I ask for the intro she says she'll handle it internally and then it slips another two weeks. I know the rule is that single-threaded deals die and everyone would tell me to go over her, but she's the one who brought us in and she's the only person there who actually wants this.

What happened the last time you went around one anyway?

My wife and I have been running a small reselling business together for about 3 years now, and our main sources are thrift stores and estate sales. We list across eBay, Depop, Poshmark, and Mercari. We tried Nifty a few months back and neither of us liked it.
The marketplace support is too limited for where we want to take things, Vinted and Facebook Marketplace are not supported at all and there is no clear timeline on when they will be.
I am also frustrated with its smart credits system, the limit gets hit too fast and moving up a tier just to get more credits is not something we want to do every single month.

So I want to know some alternatives, what you guys have been using?

Ran consistently for two years on one habit: out the door at 6am, four days a week, same loop. Nothing to decide, which is exactly why it worked.

New job killed my mornings. Evenings are now a negotiation every single day. Too hot, too tired, ate too recently. I've gone from 25 miles a week to about 10, and it's less a motivation problem than the structure just falling out from under it.

How do you handle this? Rebuild a fixed slot even if it's a worse time of day, or drop the schedule and hold yourself to a weekly total instead?
