Oh man, there are so many things. I think what I found later is And it's tied to this idea of taking on challenging things. It's really about managing mental health and understanding what is really going to fill your tank or my tank with the positive energy to take on big things.

I think really early I knew I wanted to take on challenges, but what I've learned is if I'm disciplined or maybe practiced with making the right amount of time for the right amount of activities to make sure I can take on the biggest and hardest things, I'll be better equipped to take on even more. It took me like a while to really put those two things together.

And so the way I really think about it now is Worry less about is it too hard or too much as long as you're putting yourself in the best position to do your best. That time and understanding of what really gives you that juice is important.

The people who are really self-aware about this, who are really rigorous about doing the things that will give them energy and not do the things that don't, you can see they tend to achieve more. It took me a little later than I would have liked to really understand, like deeply understand the importance of this.

Yeah, and it's different for everybody. Like many people, when you're younger, you think about exciting things, going on vacation, traveling and new adventures. As I've gotten older, you know, it's a different set of things that really gets me ready and really trying different things to figure out what those are. Because I think that they're different for everybody.

But understanding what it is for you and really knowing and really sticking to it, I think is simple but significant.

Yeah, for sure. It's also the idea of recovery. I see so many people who are burned out or stressed. They've stopped these practices that help them recover. I can think a woman I worked with who I was really fond of was just going through a difficult period. And I knew she was a college athlete, high school athlete.

And she wanted to talk to me about, she didn't think she could get through this or whatever, just a tough moment. And I was like, when was the last time you worked out or went for a run? She's like, it's been months. And I'm like, that's the thing. I know you. I know that this is the thing that lets you achieve these things. And those tend to be the first things that people cut

when they're under duress it's the exact wrong thing i think when i was younger this felt hypocritical to me like well i don't understand there's just not enough time i need more time to do this but there's only so much time right energy is really the thing that you can control and so taking away the things that will give you more energy limits the amount of stuff you're going to do with the time that's available to you and so i think that took me longer than i wanted to internalize

And I see it again and again. I tell people and I feel them eye rolling that they just don't have time to get another hour of sleep or to work out or to read books or to think. They're like, I was too busy. But their ability to operate when busy is really compromised by this deficiency in their quality of their energy and the amount of it.
