Or you set up auto pay for your bills so you're not consistently surprised.

Oh, wait, what?

That bill's due?

It's like, no, it's due every month.

Or you might be annoyed getting ready to go to the gym, might struggle to go to the gym at all.

But what if you just, I don't know, prepped your gym bag before bed?

So the morning's a little bit smoother.

Or maybe you meal prep on the weekend.

So weeknights are just a little less chaotic.

I think sometimes, especially when you think about like your romantic relationships.

You know, one of the most loving things you can do is remove a small reoccurring frustration.

Like sometimes the best gift you can give somebody you love is even like a little bit of a better system.

Like as a leader, you know, you start thinking about, man, how am I going to remove irritants from my people?

Like sometimes it's not even giving them a bigger bonus.

It's just giving them a better system.

Like what I love about this removing irritants idea is that like irritants communicate something.

Like students leaving a campus.

Well, that communicates desire.

Like if somebody's complaining about something, they're communicating some sort of misalignment.

Like if people have a certain workaround that it's like they're doing it because it's communicating some sort of inefficiency, right?
