So you don't want that.

You want to quiet the mind.

You want to choose what kind of stuff you let inside your mind.

How often do you find quiet time to just think and focus deeply on work without any distractions?

You mentioned to me that you value quiet mornings.

So you definitely try to avoid digital devices for as many hours as possible in the morning?

Just to have the quiet thinking time, plus the crazy amounts of push-ups and squats.

Yeah.

The internet, social media presents to us drama.

in such a way that we think it's the biggest thing in the world, the most important thing on which the ties of history will turn.

But in reality, most things will not turn the ties of history.

And so I guess our challenge is to figure out what is the timeless thing.

What is the thing that's happening today that's still going to be true in 10, 20 years?

And from that, decide what you're going to do.

And that's very difficult on social media, because everybody's outraged.

The news of the day, whatever the quarrel is, that's the thing that's, everyone thinks the world will end because of this thing.

And then another thing happens the next day.

I've seen you be, once again, quite stoic about your emotions.

You ever get angry?

You ever get lonely?
