It's like the Ernest Hemingway, all you have to do is write one true sentence.

It's like, just push yourself to do that.

And there's this feeling of breakthrough that comes from it.

Yeah, I like to deconstruct the energy one even a little bit further into these three buckets.

Because on the personal side, I tend to, just in my own brain, think about health practices a lot within that personal bucket.

That tends to be routines and things like that for me.

And so I deconstructed that further layer because people on this one is like...

it's essential to know the people that create versus drain energy in your life.

I would say if there's been one single change that has been most impactful for me over the last decade, it has been closing off my energy to people who had not earned the right to it.

I think it is an earned privilege over time to eliminate or mitigate the energy draining things from your life.

But it's an earned privilege that all of us should aspire to continue to earn over time.

Right.

Like you can make slow, steady, incremental improvements.

By the way, I don't think anyone will ever get to the point where your calendar is entirely energy creators.

I think there is always an element of life that is energy draining things like just stuff that you just have to do.

You don't really like it, but that's life.

That is part of living and being human.

And probably you wouldn't want to eliminate some of those things because they add texture and they add a layer of meaning.

But I think that that is earned over time.

My first job working as an analyst in a private equity fund, I was working 100-hour weeks, doing a lot of email, Excel modeling, all of that stuff.
