I just had memorized because at some point, my sister or somebody had showed me like, hey, watch, push white, white, black, black, white, black.

And that'll sound like James Bond.

That was the level I was at.

I have one.

I'm trying to figure out the exact way to frame it, but I think I told you this.

I deleted all my social media apps, all the consumption.

So I said, I'm going to go dark in terms of consuming.

I basically was like, how do I trade consuming stuff that people put 20 seconds of thought into?

right, like a tweet.

People put about 20 seconds of thought into it to doing things that people put like 20 years of thought into, which is books.

And so I deleted Reddit, I deleted Twitter, I deleted Instagram, I deleted Facebook, deleted all those apps.

And instead I just, if I open up my phone, I want to kill boredom, I have to open up Kindle.

It's like the only thing left to do on my phone is Kindle.

And so I basically made a list.

I was like, all right, here's the 26 for 2026, right?

Like the 26 books I want to read in 2026.

And I have kind of a hit list.

These are books, honestly, I've probably owned for years, have thought about reading, I've heard really good things about, but hadn't actually read.

And so I started that a couple of weeks ago.

So that's going good.
