I'm like, what am I doing with my life? And, you know, what am I doing this today for? And then I got to publish this paper. I got to finish my book. I got to run my team. Like what do I want to do? And, you know, then I'm doing it. And then I'm like when I'm doing one thing, I think I should be doing the other thing.

This is just who I am, and I've tried everything, and that's my operating system. I'm more aware. I'm working on another book, and as I was working on it, I'm in a chapter, and all I could think about is the next chapter. And I started like, Mark, give yourself permission to be with this freaking chapter. It's okay. You can focus on one thing and not worry about the future.

And I had to literally kind of do that for myself. That's how I am. And so knowing that about myself is useful because it helps me find the strategies that work for me. And going back to the happiness thing, it's because I'm also introverted. And so when I'm around extroverts a lot, I'm drained. You know, I just like after something like this, this is an intense conversation.

I'm not going to go to a sports bar, you know, like have a beer and like watch the game. I would never do that anyway. But anyway, that's just not my thing. You know, like that would make me I would like my brain would be burnt. Like my dream would be to leave here, go take a hot yoga class and take a walk, have a glass of wine, maybe by myself or with a friend and then end the day.

I mean, for some people, it's very clear. You know, they are a clear, treated introvert. And for some people, they're just like endlessly extrovert no matter. They wake up wanting to be with people. At the end of the day, they want to go out with people more. And so what research shows, for example, with creative people is they tend to be both.

They tend to be high introverts and high extroverts, which is interesting, right? They're introverts when they're doing their art, and then they're extroverts when they're out there selling their art, which is hard for some artists, right?

Because a lot of artists are kind of introspective and they're creative types, but they really struggle with getting out there and being that extroverted, like, look at my art. And so you're the lucky artist if you are treated in both directions. I think the easiest way to think about it is just it's a proclivity. It's a proclivity to how you want to use your energy.
