It's all about – like if you saw how much video analysis and time the Boston Celtics coaching staff puts into what ends up being like a 35-second clip that's shown to a player or the team. Like it's so much work to then the most potent thing, right? It's like when you're an elite, because like the players are doing something so intense, right? Like it's all about quality, not quantity.

They're not training basketball 17 hours a day. They could not possibly play then. Or they're training brilliantly for like, you know, maybe an hour and a half a day. Brilliantly, but like with scientifically. or if they're playing for a two-and-a-half to three-hour game, then what's the way to optimize for that? You don't stack six hours of training in before a three-hour game, no.

So much of it is body work and studying some tape and then being primed in the right way to remember what you're looking at on tape and then taking breaks and returning to it and then understanding exactly how much load is in your body and your mind and having your sleep right and your nutrition right and getting everything optimized and then being a peak performer when it's on.

But we don't have that discipline as mental beings very often, but we should in our creative process, in our relationships, in the art of being a mom or a dad or a husband or a wife or a friend.

We're either practicing sloppiness or practicing quality. If we do something shitty, then we're practicing shitty quality. And that will, just how like we can harness them, like thematic interconnectedness on the positive side, we can also really harness it brilliantly on the negative side. Every time we practice being sloppiness, we're using thematic interconnectedness to be sloppy in everything.

I really believe that. So quality is a way of life is a beautiful way to practice quality everywhere because it will manifest everywhere, right? Not in a way that's like robotic or constrictive, no, in a way that's self-expressive and beautiful.
