I mean, you know me.

I love it.

I'd rather sit there and have coffee and sort of, you know, snipe at those things than partake.

So like probably Gmail.

So this is my thing with these things is that I think people are really quick to look for a new tool before they fully exhausted the full array of things that they already have.

Right.

So it's like most people when they use like Photoshop, for example, they're probably only using like 10 to 15 percent of its overall capacity.

Right.

My thing is like anytime I see a new thing, I said, before I add one more app to things, is this something I can do with the tools I already have?

And one of the things I'm using now with, you know, it's not, it's not my invention.

It's not a brilliant life hack, but it's just simple and effective is that I have my Google calendar, send me text alerts and you know, that's been around forever and you can write a lot in those little notifications.

And, uh,

that's one of the things that like is i think people get so they want to make a bigger toolbox and i think that sort of speaks to the sort of like we like batman how he has all these like specific tools for each thing but if you get really good at one tool that can do a lot of things you know it can kind of make life a little bit easier totally what what is the swiss knife um

Well, I would say, yeah, the Leatherman or something.

It's like the multi-tool.

I would say Gmail kind of is that.

I don't really outsource too much.

I'm not that much of an efficiency or optimization thing.

I try to align things with motivation because I'm prolific when I like the work and I'm lazy.

when I have to do spreadsheets.
