You're spending the time because you're thinking that it's good for you, but you'd rather be doing something else. You're not there. You're flossing, but your mind is thinking about a party you're going to go to, for example. To me, make it fun. It's so easy. I mean, you play little games. Can I predict how much junk is going to come out? And which teeth, which part?

Everything can be made into a game. I had this... You can maybe figure out how to bring this product to market. But it was called – I have so many of these. It's called WeGo, a way of training your child to use the toilet. And so it's not very hard. We'd sell – you could sell these little vials of chemicals that when you add it a few drops to urine, it changes color.

But so each of these vials will change the color to a different color. I think adults would buy that. Yeah. And the kid, you know, has to guess either to the parent or just for themselves, you know, is this going to be yellow, green, blue? You know, it becomes fun.

Yeah. No, I think that one of the worst things that the world teaches us is that we have work and we have play, as if these are two distinct categories. In fact, I think if you were to ask somebody just one question to determine how mindful they are, it might be, how much do you need a vacation? I mean, I've never taken one. No, but need and want are two different things.

No, but need and want are two different things.

And if I really need a vacation, that means my working is being done mindlessly. And that's a shame. If you can't find a way to do it so you enjoy it, go someplace else. It's not worth the price you're paying.

Well, then learn how to make it fun. You know, that anything can be made fun. Just make it a game. You try to figure out, guess what's going to happen. Can you do it differently from the last time? Can you do it with your eyes closed? I mean, you know, it's fun. You know, get down on, not related to your work, but you get down on all fours and see the world that your cat or your dog sees.

Close the lights and see what it's like being blind. Try to get through the day without hearing. I wanted to do this thing 50 years ago, which was to create a building that simulated old age.
