What is the purpose of my life? How can I then Try to align my day to day with that as much as possible while recognizing that, of course, there are expectations of me and I'm going to need to respond to some of them. But I don't want to start with the goal of like I need to be as responsive as possible because that is ultimately a losing battle. Talk about your idea of the eighth day of the week.

i have this um this whole other activity about the eighth day of the week like imagine you get an extra day every week so it's not just your perfect ideal day like you experience one time in your life but it's a recurring day and on on this eighth day we can also say like nobody's expecting anything from you like you have responsibilities you know family work otherwise.

But on this eighth day, like it's a bonus day, everybody else has kind of gone away. You can do anything you want. I started asking people about this. And the number one thing that they said they would do on their eighth day was catch up. They're like, I feel so behind.

And the thing I want to do most of my life is to catch up on my email or catch up on, you know, whatever these responsibilities are. So you can see how much of a burden it is, you know, how overwhelming it can become. And ultimately, catching up is an elusive goal. So we have to somehow let that go because it's impossible.

And if we really think, what would we do with that eighth day, then that's where things kind of get interesting. And that's when you realize, this is how I want to spend more of my time.

Yeah, well, I mean, let's do big picture and then let's do details. So big picture, you pointed to it right at the top of our conversation. Like, I don't think you put it in these words, but I would say someday you're going to die. And it's actually very helpful to be mindful of that. You know, I had a previous book

where I looked at people who pursued big quests, did all kinds of stuff like I did about going to every country in the world and so on. And one commonality was they had this emotional awareness of mortality. And everybody has an intellectual awareness, like, yeah, everybody dies. But an emotional awareness is more personal. It's more like, yes, someday I'm going to die.
