great thing to do whether it's maybe this might not work when you first wake up but any point during out during the day is to just kind of look back i call this your your last 40 minutes okay so you look back and like how did i spend the last 40 minutes i like 40 minutes rather than an hour for some reason it's this really specific amount of time and you can just ask yourself was that time valuable

and valuable doesn't only mean productive you know it can mean like you can find value in lots of different ways but you look back and like did i spend that time well and if so great you know and if not well there's all kinds of times during the day that we realize maybe that wasn't the best use of time then I'm going to kind of regroup and do something else.

And as for like, you know, waking up and there's all these, all these things. Yeah. I mean, that's like, that's the modern world that we live in. And I think we live in this culture in which there is only one speed, you know, there's only one pace.

Like if you, if you're getting directives from different people or you're working collaboratively collaboratively with, with folks, then there is this kind of, insistence that everything is urgent. And as you said, obviously, everything is not urgent. And so beginning to understand what is truly urgent, which is a very small, you know, number of things and what could be done at any point.

And that third category, I think you clued into this as well, when you said some stuff might just disappear, the third category of stuff you could just not do.

What is something that I probably should do at some point, but the time of it is not that important. And what could I just not do? And maybe it'll go away and not come back to me.

you know even if they are mike uh you know i guess this is time this is one of those things where it's like it's helpful to have a big picture view of like imagine that they actually are nevertheless you know what is the goal of your life you know is the goal of your life to be the most responsive person for every person who's waiting for you to hit the ball back and

And now we have AI and, you know, and I like some of the stuff, but like,
