So, like the beer test.

Okay, do they pass the beer test or not?

But it's even easier than that.

It's like you go through your calendar and it's like, do you have a whole body yes to this person or not?

And if the answer is yes, then not just the question of,

who you spend time with, but the question of what you do gets a lot easier.

Because if one of those people invites me to do something, even if I think it's the most harebrained, idiotic idea, I am default yes.

Based on the who, not on the what.

So that's like the very, very top, right?

That's the five to 10, maybe 15 parking spots.

And then one level down, I would say,

broadly, I'm looking for as much learning as possible and combined with sort of honesty and EQ.

So if I can find those three things, the EQ is not trivial, right?

Then I will invest time in those people.

Right on.

Yeah.

It's easy to get squeezed out of your own life.

Yeah, it is.

So this has been fine-tuning over decades.

Because otherwise, just like email becomes everyone else's agenda for your life.
