Now you can tranche that out and say your thought process, the way you speak to yourself, the way you plan your day, the way you manage your time.

But all that goes back into things you can actually directly control.

which leads you to the realization or leads me to the realization that I have no control over what happens to me in my life, but I have absolute and complete and total control over how I respond to it.

And I think that speaks to the agency piece.

And it helps me, especially when I have those sticky thoughts

It helps me at least take a step back.

I'm not gonna say I'm perfect and I can put down a lot of the things that I'm concerned with, but it will identify for me a healthy or an unhealthy attachment to those things.

And it does help me cross back over to, okay, I understand that this is,

scary or concerning but being scared or concerned about it doesn't impact outcome everything on the right hand side of the paper does so that's what it does for me man you want to talk about developing some more efficiencies it's a great tool it's startling how much is going to be on the left and how little is going to be on the right yeah it's been a game changer for me because and maybe i misinterpreted the exercise a little bit because on the right hand side of the uh the page i've been listing out

That still goes back to you're controlling the management of your time.

That's totally fine.

And with all these tools, I don't think there is a wrong answer.

If it has the impact that you're looking for, again, you can titrate all that back up to you controlling yourself and what you do with your time.

I think it's perfect.

The algorithm is real.

I don't know what it means.

I've listened to people argue about it ad nauseum, but I have the choice as to whether or not I interface with the algorithm.

And that's where the power, that's what I think the algorithm is trying to do is figure out a way to take that power away from you and put it back into their hands, but it's optional.

Do you carry it around with you?

If you're anything like me, I spend a lot of time on airplanes.
