Right? And then you begin to cultivate an awareness of where one is in one's creative spectrum, right? And then you start to cultivate the art of stress and recovery and like amping oneself up and then releasing. And you see that the ability to turn it on is directly connected to the ability to turn it off, as you know.

If you walk into a fight gym and you study a bunch of fighters in the mats, one great read you can make is looking at the depth of physiological relaxation when the guys aren't fighting, and you'll see who the highest level fighters are. The best guys, man, they can turn it on with wild intensity, but their bodies are so mellow. When they're not going. And then men. They're so efficient.

It's so – that oscillation, that range is so huge, right? But people don't cultivate the art of turning it off in order to learn how to turn it on. For many, many years, decades, I've been practicing what I call now the MIQ process, most important question process. And the essence of it is – it's what I came to as the –

Most potent way so far that I've found to train analysts or thinkers in mental arenas, you're training people in the art of discovering what matters most. If you talk to like a great chess player actually looks at less than a lower level chess player, but they look at the right direction.

So you might think a great chess player, people often think like, oh yeah, I can calculate 50 moves deep, 100 moves deep. It's all irrelevant. Move two was inaccurate. So it was just all an illusion. The great chess players might look at much less, but they're looking in the most potent directions. The lower level chess players are lost in a sea of complexity.

So if you're working with, let's say, a scientist or an investor or whatever, them straining their mind for what is the most important question, ideally to begin the practice toward the end of their workday with like a recovery period with full intensity in a peak performance state, stretch one's mind for what matters most and then release it. Release the workday completely.

Don't work all night grinding yourself out at a low level. And then first thing in the morning, waking up, pre-input, return one's mind to the critical question and brainstorm on it. It's very powerful because you're opening up the, you're systematically opening the channel between the conscious and the unconscious mind.
