Michael: [0:00] You said something earlier this week that made me think about the way I work. And I kind of wanted to explore that. And I think we talked about bringing it up, but I'm not sure. And that was, uh, when you asked me, do you ever wake up with full intentions to get stuff done? And then by the end of the day, you've gotten stuff done, but none of the things that you wanted to get done, got done. So I'm curious what brought that up. First of all.

Damashe: [0:21] So I do remember that conversation and what brought it up is the fact that we were in team talk for 80 guys and you're like, oh crap, I didn't pay to, I forgot to pay the water bill. Yep. Right. And you're like, oh, so this time it's going to cost me, you know, 10 bucks for a late fee. And it wasn't that you didn't have the money, it's just you forgot to do it. But you woke up with the intention of doing it. Like, I think you had told Mallory you were going to pay the water bill or something, that you had it. And it just occurred to me that that happens to me quite a bit where I will get up and like, I will get up and either someone will have asked me to do something the night before or that morning, or I wake up to a text message like, OK, I will get that done. And then I get up and I get my coffee going, I get my coffee and do all of that. I'm sit down on the computer and I start working. And whatever that thing that I was supposed to be remembering to do first and foremost to start the day off, As soon as I touch the computer as soon as I had a device in hand that allowed me to do that thing I don't remember it until 8 o'clock at night. It's like oh man. I did do stuff I gotta just sit around not do anything today, but the one thing or the two things I said Waking up. I have to do these things today didn't get done.

Michael: [1:11] Yeah, I want to know from listeners Thank you. First of all to those of you who support us one right now, but that will grow But I want to know from you and other people So share those with your friends How do you manage that because that happens to me all the time as the mossy brought up? But the good news is I was off on the time and we did not have to pay the $10, which is pretty cool. I was almost guaranteed that I had to, but I was off. It was PM, not AM. But still, the point is, I do that every day. Mario will text me. She'll say, hey, can you do this? And I'll say, yep, I'll get it done. It never gets done. It is at the point now where she or other people expect it, and I don't like that feeling and I need to figure out a way to solve that problem. And it's not that I don't want to do it, it's I get distracted with other tasks all the time.

Damashe: [1:49] So like learning The thing for me is that you know, there's some days and I haven't had one of these days in a while It's like I really didn't accomplish anything I basically just you know mess around on the computer all day and really did not actually Move anything meaningfully forward at all. I haven't had one of those days in a while But I still end up with the same sort of feeling when you know I clearly say that I'm gonna do this thing or I have to do this thing or you know It's the third of the month and this is the last day for me to edit my you know, Amazon subscribe and save order And 11 o'clock he says, oh man, I didn't do the order. Crap, let me go here and hurry up. Oh wait, it's not even time, it's too late. Okay, now I'm gonna end up with stuff that I didn't need that I gotta pay for. But it's like there are times where something occurs to me before, and using that Amazon subscribing save as a perfect example. I will think about it on the 29th of the month, you know, going into the next month, because my subscribe and save, you know, final day, edit your order is the third of each month. And you know, before it feels everything is locked in, they start probably billing me for stuff that t
