That's been a signal for my โ
my life since I was in my early 20s.
Fix the schedule and don't work outside of that schedule.
Now it's your move to figure out anything you want to do, you have to make that work.
You want to become a professor, figure out how to make that work.
You want to write books while you're being a professor, figure out how to make that work.
You don't have the option of just throwing hours at it.
And you innovate a lot, I think, when you have the constraints.
Yeah.
So, I mean, my main, like actual working with weights, I do this pre-dinner, right?
And this was an innovation in the last couple of years.
It's, it's a fantastic psychologically for me.
This is a transition from work to
to like family time after work.
So I'll do like 45, 50 minutes garage gym that we built during COVID after I'm done working before dinner.
And once you get used to that, like it also forces you to like, I got to finish work because I got to get this in before dinner.
But then I'll do also quite a bit of walking if it's not a teaching day.
So I'm not on campus.
I do a lot of thinking on foot, walking my kids to the bus stop, which isn't particularly close and back.
So I'll do a lot of walking.
