If Tony says he'll work until he's 75 more years, which is I think likely to happen based on the number of people that we see reentering the workforce after they retire, the number goes down to $600. It goes down by 75%. So once I share that with people and they're like, oh yeah, like I've got this extra time and money, I can think about how I'm going to spend it differently.

They feel better going to the driving range. They feel better taking the vacation. When I first start working with clients, hardly anyone comes in my office with their hand raised saying, I know I don't want to retire. So I'll humor them. I'll ask them questions that they are expecting to be asked. Like, what are you going to do in retirement? I'm going to travel the world with my spouse.

And I say, great. When was the last time you two went out on a date together? And, you know, nine times out of 10, they just sort of look at each other and they don't really know how to answer that question. Or someone will say, I'm going to play golf five days a week. OK, but you haven't been to the gym in four years and you just had your hip replaced. So when is this going to happen?

And I think what you probably see is the more time that we make for these things now, the more likely it is we're going to be able to continue to do them. So you go and hit golf balls. that's less time for you to spend on your business, but you come back to your business in a better frame of mind with more clarity, with less stress, you're being more productive there.

And now you're also more likely to continue your golf habit. Well, you know, into your older age.

Yeah, you know, I think that the last chapter in my book is called Investing in You. And I essentially say hopefully I've made a case for why you're going to be working longer. And if you agree, that means you now have this extra time and money that you get to spend on other things. And, you know, some of the things I mentioned there are taking better care of yourself.

And I think that in our society – We overemphasize the long-term benefits of things like sleep and diet and exercise, and we underemphasize the significance and the impact of these things in the short term. So yes, sleeping well is very good for you in terms of how you're going to feel 20 years from now, but it's also extremely good for you in terms of how you're going to feel 20 hours from now.

And I think that the best person for any of us to be getting advice from about anything is the most optimized version of us. And so many of us are are not close to that at all. So we feel like we have to work all these extra hours to overcompensate for the fact that. We're tired. We have brain fog. We're stressed out. We have anxiety. We're not thinking clearly.

And if we were to take a step back and say, you know what, like I'm going to make sure I sleep more and the quality of my sleep is going to be better. I'm going to make sure that I'm eating a gram of protein per pound of body weight and I'm going to make sure that I'm getting exercise every single day. Yes, it means I have less time that I can work.

in my business, but now this is a different version of me, a version of me that I'm really not entirely familiar with, that maybe I should give that version of me a shot to be even more productive and to get more things done and create better work done in a shorter amount of time.
