from anything, right? I mean, I just don't. Otherwise, it's setting an unrealistic expectation. None of us are perfect. And so, for example, pre-week planning. We invite people to do pre-week planning every weekend, and it takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Now, I was a fighter pilot for 11 years.

I would have never dared jumped in the F-16 without doing pre-flight planning because you can imagine the chaos that would result if we're like, hey, we're just going to wing it today. We would never do that in the fighter pilot world. Well, how many of us go into our weeks without some semblance of a plan and expect a different result than the fighter pilot? That's why we don't do it.

And so if we back up, you know, you're describing the intentionality. You use the golf and the drinking examples. You're describing the intentionality and the why for habits one and two, the vision and the goals. It starts to become a guide for who we are. Instead of just randomly saying, you know, whatever happens, happens. We're becoming intentional about our dash.

What type of leader do I really want to be remembered as? what type of parent and spouse and what type of friend, et cetera. That's the why behind those two habits. And that's why we start there. We could have written a book about pre-planning alone, still would have been a game changer.

It's just so much more powerful in the context of the vision and goals for the reasons you described, because ultimately that's who we start to become in this journey of life. And it doesn't happen overnight. It does take time and it takes years, but at least we're on the path. At least we're on that journey. Now, do you mind if I talk pre-replanning for just a couple of minutes?

You can talk about whatever you want. Because this is the execution and this is the doing, which is ultimately what really matters. Pre-replanning is a process, like I mentioned, that we invite people to do usually between Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon at the latest. I no longer say Sunday evening because if we wait till Sunday evening, it's the first thing to go, right?

Friends come over, family, and it's like, ah, pre-replanning's out. Pre-week planning is a process that helps people schedule their priorities rather than prioritize their schedule. And there's a saying that you probably heard, and I don't even know who to attribute it to. So many people have said it. Where our focus goes, our energy flows.

And so if we don't have a focal point, and this is something we'll actually do during our trainings, we'll have people stand up and put their arms out and balance on one leg with their eyes closed. And they fall and they're tossing all over. We then have them do the same thing with their eyes open and choose a focal point somewhere at least five feet out in front of them.

So they'll put their arms out, they'll balance on one leg and they'll focus on a focal point. And everybody is rock solid, they're balanced. And I'll ask people, so how do we apply that to what we're talking about here and do what matters most? And the common responses are, yeah, once we have a focal point, then we're balanced. You know, with our eyes closed, we're all over the place.

That's exactly right. So pre-week planning is the process of truly scheduling our priorities rather than prioritizing our schedule and doing exactly what the title of the book is in the program, what matters most. So amongst all these things that we have out there to choose from, which ones are the priorities? And maybe we can take the rest of the time on this. Can I share the why first, Ryan?
