Like I need to get started with writing and then do my debugging.

And I need to have that done by 11 while I'm still caffeinated or I'm just not going to get it done at all.

So you learn.

what type of maker schedule works for you and what you do in that maker schedule.

So you're right.

You can't just jump in and switch to a maker schedule.

You might waste a lot of time.

But maker schedules are really valuable if you have a lot of self-awareness about what your brain is capable of, what this work looks like, what are the most important things for you to do.

So start with hyper-specific time blocking.

Schedule time for deep work blocks, but be specific about what you're doing, and then allow that to evolve into a maker schedule that makes sense for whatever type

and intensity and volume of making that you actually do in your job.

So there's a lot of kind of complicated points that are all hidden within that same discussion.

All right, we like to end our episodes on Monday with giving you an update about what I am up to.

The book I finished last week was Football by Chuck Klausterman.

You might like this one, Jesse.

I might loan it to you.

Yeah.

It's like a collection of essays.

You know, Klausterman does these sort of like very observational like essays, and he's just riffing on a lot of ideas.

He's a super football fan, obsessive.
