9-5 and coherence

Question: “Deuce, to raise my coherence score… does that mean I have to quit my job?”

A:
No.

Raising coherence is not about quitting your job.
It’s about quitting the futures that don’t belong to you.

Your job is only a problem if it’s being used to feed backup lives:

• “I’ll stay here just in case.”

• “This isn’t it, but it’s safe.”

• “I’ll figure it out later.”

That’s what lowers coherence — not employment.

High coherence doesn’t mean dramatic action.
It means clean action.

You can raise your coherence score inside the same job if:

• You stop treating it as temporary shelter.

• You stop rehearsing exits you never take.

• You stop feeding identities that aren’t going anywhere.

When coherence rises, reality makes the next move obvious.
Sometimes that’s leaving.
Sometimes it’s staying.
Sometimes it’s a third option you couldn’t see before.

You don’t quit first.
You collapse alternatives first.

When only one path remains,
action happens automatically.

That’s coherence.
