Yeah, and I try to do it really simply. I have found, and I'll talk about my own kids at times, when I ask them that question, how their battery is, I notice that they check, like most people, they check their phones quite often. And at some point it just becomes like a reflex and they don't even know they're checking it.

But when they do look at it and the power's down or it goes yellow or it goes red, they get a little panicked. Like, oh my God, I got to charge it. Imagine my surprise when we're in like airports and they're like going out to people, can I use a little of your charge, right? I think we've all been there where we don't have a charger and you're like, I need something. Can somebody help me out?

Most times people are really kind and they'll just, you know, kind of help you, especially if you're a kid. I thought about then putting it into zones and I put it into four zones. And I just said, you know, if you're at 75 to 100, you're probably fine. And meaning that, you know, you're in a zone where you're just moving along.

If you're at 50 to 75, you're probably in a place where you might need to start to think about how you may want to recharge. If you're in that 25 to 50, it's time to start figuring out, take a break. You may need to take a walk. You may need to put down the phone. You may need to stop the litany of Zoom calls that you're on right now, right?

And if you find yourself zero to 25, that's a real kind of indicator for you to say, hey, something's probably not right. And I need to really kind of take a hard stop and figure out how I recharge. And recharge can happen in a number of different ways. And so I've often talked about when I've gotten into that zone, I just kind of almost go for a walk. I sometimes go outside.

I take some deep breaths. I do a number of things. Sometimes I may need a workout. A workout really helps me to recharge on a personal front. And everyone's a little bit different, and they'll go to different techniques. And so in the book, I list a lot of things in the book that you may do. You may do one, two, three, four, all of them.

100%. And, you know, it's funny. You and me are the same on batteries. I keep my battery pretty charged as well. I have an electric car too. I marvel at people who could take that electric car battery down to 5%. I can't do it. That stresses me out. I'm stressed out when they tell me these stories. Oh, I took the battery down to 5%. I'm like, seriously? How?
