That's great, but on what time horizon?

Because often being the most efficient I can be today actually is inefficient for the long haul, especially in creativity.

We know that creative thoughts and creative feelings happen

Not when we're doing the work, but when we're daydreaming.

So if you're so focused on productivity and efficiency, again, you get a lot out of yourself today, but perhaps you shortchange yourself over the long haul.

So the first step of patience is really defining the time horizon that you want to operate on.

And then the second part is what you were speaking to earlier about being consistent is having some restraint.

So stopping one rep short, you know that you could crush yourself every day and it feels really good.

It's like in a gym workout where you just go to fatigue.

You feel so worked.

But if you try to do that every day and you chase that feeling in sports, you end up injured.

In the business world, you end up burnt out.

So patience means stopping one rep short today so that you give yourself a chance of building an inertia and building a rhythm that you can pick up tomorrow.

Lots of people struggle to see their situation clearly because you become so close to it.

And what ends up happening is for those that are watching on video is you fuse with your situation.

So this is the situation you're in, this is you, and there's space between, but sometimes you fuse.

And when you fuse, it's very hard to see clearly.

And if you can't see where you are clearly, then whatever actions you take, whatever habits you try to develop aren't actually gonna help because you're working on the wrong thing.

You're not starting where you are.

So acceptance is really about being able to objectively and clearly see your starting point.
