I think about what is the task that I most want to have make progress by the end of the day. What is the thing that is actually the most important to me that I want to make progress on today? I think of it while I make my espresso. Then I sit back and I work on that task for at least 45 minutes. And, you know, you might say, oh, you know, it's only 45 minutes. It's a big deal. B.F.

Skinner, the famous psychologist, used to come to the office and not do anything else until he wrote 700 and a few words. I forgot the exact number. Let's say 738. And you could say, only 738? Really easy. Well, a book has 70,000 words. If you wrote 700 words a day, in a year you'll have three books. It's kind of an amazing unheard of.

The reality is that the issue with productivity is to carve the time and not wait for the moment of inspiration. But most of us don't do it. Most of us come to the office, turn on email, and once we turn on email, We are preoccupied with what this, we feel we're late. And then if we turn email end. So I would say, look, we need to recognize how these systems are bad for us.

And we need to figure out where do we take control. And the ideal thing to do is to create a ritual, a daily ritual that is working for us. So this is one that works for me.

I told you that the people from the TV show asked me, what have I gained with all of this thing? And I wrote them a list of things that I think I gained. And one of the things that I gained, and I now tell people with injuries, but I think it's correct for everybody, I say, your life will never be the same. You were Not injured. You're injured now. Don't mourn the past. It's over.

And there'll be things that you can never go back to. There'll be things you can't do. That's done. And I say the question to figure out is where are your skills? Where you can make a unique contribution that fits to you? And... To try and not feel accountable for other people's rules and standards. And I think that's really hard. I'm an academic. Academics have a very specific life.

That life doesn't work for me. I can't use my hands. I mean, there's lots of things that I can't do. And at the end of the day, my disability allowed me to not feel beholden to these standards. I just can't do them. So it was very good for me to say, you know, I can do what I can do. You can do what you can do.

But I think in general, there's lots of rules from society, a lot of standards from society about how we behave. And I think an injury can be very liberating in terms of not looking at this too seriously. But I think it's also true for people without an injury to basically look at where are skills? What do we really want to do? And where are the rules of society not really playing for strength?

Is it the way we manage people? Is it the way we think about innovation? Is it the way we spend our time? Is it in the way that we are parents or significant others? Or it's in the variety of things that we do? At the end of the day, we really need to figure out our strength. It's so tempting to go into role-playing for different things in society, but we each have unique strength.

We need to figure those out and worry less about societal roles.
