That's an example that you've fucked your life up somehow, right?
And he said, not at all.
He said, everything else is in your diary, so why is the stuff that matters not in your diary?

Because urgent stuff will always come into your life.
It's important that the urgent stuff doesn't always get rid of the important stuff.
So you need to put it in your diary and it doesn't move and it's non-negotiable.
And then you can still be crazy busy and lots of stuff going on and it's like, woohoo!
But it's those few little things is where your happiness lies.

I think we've told the world that it's really important to work hard.
I think, you know, I've been very, very, very unhealthy and obviously I'm, you know, pretty healthy now.
