So the goal isn't to be perfect.

The goal is just never to let that obsession with results become a more important force than the obsession with the work itself.

Yeah.

I mean, that's such a part of it, right?

There's a whole section in the book on this notion of like consistency compounds.

So if heroic individualism loves the all-nighter that you post on LinkedIn or the video of you doing CrossFit where you puke at the end, groundedness loves the, hey, I inched myself forward today, but I didn't destroy myself, so I'll be able to pick up again tomorrow.

And again, it's such a part of this notion of being in the process, being present allows you to be consistent.

Whereas if you're constantly focused on crushing yourself or crushing it or optimizing all the time, then that might look good in the short term, but will lead to eventually burnout in the long term.

So, like, the way that I like to put it is an all-nighter every once in a while.

It happens.

It's fun to talk about it.

Great.

But if your identity becomes, oh, I pull all-nighters, that might be great for a year.

But try to build a career on that kind of working habits and you're going to burn out.

So presence is owning your attention and energy.

And I think a lot of people hear presence and they think of it as just being where you are.

And that's true, but it's hard to be where you are if where you are is an environment where you're constantly being distracted.

So in the book, I argue that presence actually happens upstream of the moment.

And if you can own your attention by designing your environment and you can own your energy by being really diligent about what you say yes to and what you say no to, then that actually gives you a chance of being present in the moment.

So I think.
