the way i think about it the time you spend sitting in meetings on zoom or you're sitting on your computer working or sending emails that's when you are the administrator i said if you're a leader you need your ceo time you need your creativity you need your strategy time and you've got to be in top-notch creativity and in the right space to do that and that will that moment will not come sitting in the office that will come when you jump out of the pool

You come from that jog or that run or even during the run, that's when it will come to you. That's when you get the million-dollar decisions. So if you don't get that, then you're never going to perform at the high level. I block three-hour slots every morning for my self-time.

It doesn't mean that I go for a workout all that time, but that's my prayer, my meditation, my self-care, can be my exercise, whatever it is. And that's non-negotiable. If I have to move that in the morning, then it will come in the afternoon or the evening. And that is how I keep myself in that form to deliver. But to answer then your question, what do people do? Shortcuts.

We have all these great apps. We have Netflix that starts autoplaying an episode and someone is maybe spending time watching the news following the world affairs, even though they're not in control of the world affairs. So I think we've got to prioritize what we do.

And they were actually laughing today in the workshop when I explained that in March 2020, during the lockdowns, during COVID, I had enough of the news and I uninstalled the TV and I haven't plugged it in since then.

That's right. I haven't watched any mainstream news since 2020. Wow, good for you.

Yeah, that's fascinating. I get some part of it. Of course, I get it by memes. I follow all the news.

Yeah, we have covered a bit on it, and it is the lack of support, the lack of support system. We touched on that as well. That's a huge one. And the workshop today, for example, mainly from big MSC's company, they don't have that in place. They don't have it. They don't have anyone they speak with. And of course, when you ask why, they say, my company provide an internal mentoring program.

And what is happening then? If you have an internal mentor, it happens the same as when I had mine. We're trying to impress that person instead when we have the conversation. Why? Because that person probably have a say in your next promotion. You wouldn't be open and vulnerable and share your biggest challenges, what you're facing to someone internally.
