fairly severe ADHD, and at all times, my brain and body want to go 1,000 miles an hour, right?

I can see your brain just hitting.

Yeah.

And I tried medication.

I tried Adderall and found that while it works incredibly well to be task-oriented, it just chops my creativity right off, and I don't like that.

So I've had to find frameworks and build frameworks in my life to get there.

And one of the things that...

Under awareness is probably the key to the entire framework is this idea of stopping and just being aware of what's going on.

I think we move so fast through our day that we're not aware that –

we were curt with someone or that we walked right by a team member and didn't even acknowledge their presence.

Or, you know, that someone had an email sitting in our inbox for three days and now they're sitting at their desk thinking that you don't like them because you haven't responded yet.

And it's because we just haven't slown down

you know uh slowed down long enough to just kind of go how am i showing up here today like it's that's a really tough skill i think for especially for driven people because they just want progress progress progress progress progress and we so rarely like like just go how how how am i showing up for michelle like am i am i fully here with her like am i max energy today with her

And then what do I have to do to put myself in that position?

And what I love about what you teach and what you talk about in this book is that these –

You're giving them a strategy, but that strategy is these little micro moments that produce so much value.

They're just micro moments.

We haven't talked – nothing you've described today.

This is what I love about what you're teaching is that nothing you've described today is this three-month journey or I got to do a week retreat somewhere to figure out this process.

It's just like slow down and maybe ask some questions and care about people.
