She just does it.

And so...

I know that any system I create usually has 60% complication that needs to be removed.

And I wish I could do the simple, efficient version first.

It's just not how I think.

And so I've had to learn the value of systems and not creating a new system every time and letting the system be simple.

But it feels so foreign to me.

And it feels like somebody's speaking a different language, even when they try to explain it and go...

No, this is, if you do it this way, like it's hard for me, but I see the value and I grit my teeth through a lot of it, but I'm so glad I did it because I can see the rewards of where it serves the things I do care about.

Yeah, so one is like what I would call a broken soundtrack.

I wrote this book called Soundtracks About Our Mindset, and a broken soundtrack would be I don't know where to start.

And what they're really saying is there's a perfect place to start, and as soon as I find it, I'll know and I'll go all in.

And there's not.

There's just not.

Or I have so much going on, I don't want to pick the wrong thing.

If you've got a 20-item list, as if there's a right thing that –

will unlock it.

So like, I know for me, one of my broken soundtracks is if I have 20 things to work on, and I am I deliberate about picking the right one, I pick it and my brain immediately goes, this is this is the wrong one.

This isn't what you're supposed to be working on right now.

And I go, Oh, and then if I pick another thing, it goes, this is crazy.
