So leaving with a sense of direction. And then he would let it go. You know, he would go out drinking. He would do all the things that Hemingway did. And then he returned to it first thing in the morning. And that like unwritten sentence had become a paragraph and a page in his mind, and it would be a way to hit the ground running.

And that's what really spurred me to start creating this process in my chess life of always ending my chess study with something left, like posing my unconscious a question, like studying the complexity and then releasing it, which later became, and then tapping into it first thing in the morning, pre-input. which later became my MIQ process. And then I developed team-wide MIQ processes.

The teams that I work with all have versions of the MIQ that they utilize as individuals, but then as teams.

And it's an amazing way to develop a shared consciousness in a team, to have everybody be able to tap into the question that's top of mind for every member of their team, or for a leader to be able to be aware of what is the most important question for every one of my scientists or my analysts or anything. It's a really powerful way to cultivate shared consciousness, and it becomes our game tape.

Because if we're tracking our MIQs, let's say I'm studying something for three weeks or for four weeks, and what do I think is most, if I'm tracking the questions that I think are most critical for that thing and I'm deepening my analysis of it, What I arrive at, what I think in day one will be very different from the MIQ in day 14. And then we can study the gap.

And then we can study the patterns of the gap, the gaps. And this is what I call MIQ gap analysis. So if I'm setting a chess position, like if I play a chess game against you and it's incredibly complex and I don't quite understand this position and then I do a deep, deep analysis of it, what I'll arrive at after 14 or 16 or 18 hours of study will be different from what I felt during the game.

Now, what's interesting is, this is a cool thing about chess study. If my understanding was here during the chess game, after like a few hours, I might be like really far away from that. But after I've completed the study, I'll usually be like very similar but deeper. So it's often like... Deeper, like closer than where you were after a few hours of study, but it's like a deeper level in.
