So everything that's coming out, you must be captured into a big trash can.
Just gets dumped into that trash can.
And then every two hours, you look in that trash can, that capture can, and you pull those things out and you put them in the appropriate list on where the work is done.
So when I look at that, send the thing to Dwayne, I would put that on my telephone message list.
So I have a list, all the messages I need to return.
If it's something I do on the computer, I put it on my computer list.
If it's something I do at home, I do at home.
If it's something I do in the injection molding department at FastCap, it's on my injection molding.
So when I walk into injection molding, I open up that list.
I say, these are the five things I need to do in injection molding.
So everything is based on the proximity.
The list is based on the proximity of where the work is done.
This is the basic principles of getting things done.
So I have the most amazing thing on my phone of everything I do from when I speak, when I get on a flight, when I'm remembering people's names, to the songs I'm learning on the guitar.
to what I do when I'm in Japan, when I get on the bus, when I start up my plane.
Anything in my life has a list of where the work is done.
And when I go to my airplane, when I go to my house in Maui, when I go to my house in San Diego, I click on that before I get on the plane.
And I say, oh, San Diego, I need to bring two bidet toilet seats and one blender.
right?
Instead of getting to San Diego and say, damn, I forgot those bidet toilet seats in the blender.
