So why do we do that?

Because we need a walkthrough period.

We need time to go into a chamber, metaphorically, change levels, let go of where we were, lower ourselves to the rhythm of what we're doing now.

Cognitively, we would call it cognitive and domain shifting.

And we need time.

So I looked at the lock master at Teddington and said, okay,

This shit is taking a long time.

Can we get this chamber filled up a little bit quicker?

And she said, locking through takes what locking through takes.

If you rush it, you risk capsizing.

We get home and then we walk in the back door and it's like, I can't find my shin guards.

I think I left them on the pitch.

Where are my goggles, mom?

Oh my God, you didn't sign the permission slip.

I had to sneak into the zoo, you know?

And you're like, take me back to work where I'm the boss of everything, you know?

So where do I learn those things?

Well, cognitive and domain shifting come out of psychology.

Gemma, the lockmaster at Teddington, there's wisdom everywhere.

I put it together through stories and metaphors.
