I would even challenge you, you know, what were you doing last Tuesday morning?

Yeah, you don't know.

Neither do I. The point being only most of our work is wasted.

It's the way to be effective is to be better at ruthlessly looking at what's going to return money.

Where are the priorities?

I know you talk to people correctly about have have metrics, have a quick report that shows what what's moving the needle and what isn't.

Most people don't have that.

And so they're just working on whatever came in in their email and whatever someone else is asking for.

They're not really dialed in on.

I own this business, whether internal to a company or I own my own small business.

What are my key metrics?

And is this work really about that metric or is it just something someone else wanted me to do?

Or frankly, getting more water, right?

But I thought you said something really interesting there, which is you're no longer in control of your day.

You're letting your day happen to you or your exact words.

That's where most people...

burnout and overwork is they're letting the day happen to them and they're very busy, but low impact.

And that's the big difference between what gets people promoted.

It's also what lets people work only, you know, I think we probably both at least know of Tim Ferriss.

I mean, for sure, you know, the whole four hour work week theory, I never got down to a four hour work week, but the point was what's actually going to make a difference and what else is just filling up your day with someone else's nonsense.
