And then he reminds me of it when he can tell I'm too busy with things that I shouldn't be.
So I think I'm not very good at this, but I'll answer the question anyway.
I try to make sure I'm spending adequate time meeting companies.
So right now, our investment business looks something like two-thirds relatively known companies and one-third newer stuff.
But I want to make sure my time is spent pretty differently than that.
I want my time to be 20% on those known companies and spending time with people like Ali and the founders of Andro, like whatever it may be, flock safety.
But I want most of my time spent on the new stuff.
Because I need to be learning about those new markets.
So constantly meeting with AI founders, talking to smart AI employees, and making sure that I'm deep and conversational and have an understanding of those markets.
So I spend a lot of my day on that.
I've started to move away from doing one-on-ones.
And I'm like, you know what?
I don't need to schedule one-on-ones.
I talk to my team all the time.
I'll call them after hours.
I've started to very deliberately block off hours and days.
So I block off two hours every Tuesday, two hours every Thursday.
And then I also put an hour and a half block twice a week in afternoons.
And that often gets consumed with things that are pressing and I need to make calls or whatever it may be.
But I find that I learn a lot and develop a lot of my own thinking just by having think time.
