Or sorry, two days ago, not from now.

If I start preparing for something two days from now, it'll like occupy my head and I won't be able to focus on what's going on today.

So the key thing here is that we're environmentally oriented.

So the thing that you have to do at 4 p.m.

fills up your brain and there isn't space for anything else.

Right.

So you're thinking about that thing.

You're thinking about the thing.

We can't stop thinking about it and do something else.

So this is what I found time and time and time again.

If there's something that you're in, this is why we respond so much to the environment.

Right.

So like if there's a deadline, if there's a test that I have to study for tomorrow, I will study today.

Whatever is coming down the line will fill up my head.

Now, why is it that we can't do this, right?

Why can't we empty our head and just focus on the job interview at 4 p.m.?

This is because we tend to have a lot of difficulty restraining our impulses, restraining our thoughts.

We cannot shift our attention away from this.

And part of the reason that we have difficulty with that is because this is the way that we have learned to survive, right?

So if something is important, we don't want to forget.
