It's only when the distance of time changes.

that we start feeling like we're frauds and the other things that you said.

So what I recommend is let's have a technique, a template that we fill out in a regular basis that's easy to access in the moment.

So for example, let's say that I wanted to solve imposter syndrome in a week.

I could imagine having a record each day on whatever performance metrics matter to me.

And I'm going to give myself grades real time on those performance metrics.

Maybe once a day, maybe once in the afternoon, once in the morning, maybe once an hour.

And I'm going to give myself an assessment.

It's going to turn out it's going to be very close to accurate.

If I do that for five days...

By the end of a week, imposter syndrome can creep in.

That is, if you just, without my record, if you just asked me, I could have all of that syndrome.

But if you let me open the book and say, what does the book say?

Well, now there's no syndrome.

And so it's, so that's, yeah.

In fact, you'll have instead of one data point that you're inferior, you're going to actually have 40 data points.

That's going to show.

Now, I don't know if you were good in meetings or not, but if you were, they'll be disproportionately good.

And if you were bad in meetings, they'll be disproportionately bad.

What I can say is they'll be accurate, whereas your weekly assessment is going to be inaccurate.
