Win the morning and you can win the day.

0:03

It's tried and true, tried and true. And I

0:05

really, really, really believe that. But

0:08

every day is not the same.

0:10

Every day is not the same. So many different

0:13

things and so many variables can lead

0:15

to you not winning that day.

0:17

And that's why I really want

0:19

everybody to think about not trying to win

0:21

the day, but think about winning

0:24

the week. Think about your

0:26

life in weeks because

0:29

making every week better is

0:31

how you make your whole life better. And

0:34

at the end of the show, I'm going to lay out exactly

0:37

my rhythm of my week and

0:39

the structure and why I've designed it

0:41

the way that I've designed it and

0:44

how it's meant to fit into each

0:46

month, each quarter, and each

0:48

year to really be the foundation

0:51

for the rhythm of my existence, as

0:53

I've spoke about. You know, I really want to

0:55

share with you at least my approach on

0:57

how I look at weeks and

1:00

then how I measure weeks, because I

1:02

do think it's so much more effective

1:05

to follow that

1:06

pattern rather than just get

1:09

caught up in what

1:11

are you doing on just a daily

1:13

basis, even though that is incredibly

1:16

important. Welcome to Build With Rob.

1:20

Another episode that's near and dear

1:22

to my core core being today. You

1:26

know, I've really been pushing everybody

1:28

to look at their life through

1:31

the lens of they are creating time

1:33

and they create the week and you've got a limited

1:35

amount of weeks to live. So

1:37

you want to try to maximize

1:40

each one of your weeks, understand them.

1:42

And as each one

1:44

passes, that becomes the

1:46

reality of your life. And that is

1:49

your existence and all of your weeks

1:52

up to this moment in time, make

1:55

up your entire existence. And for me,

1:57

I'm living gloriously in weeks.

1:59

God,

2:02

it feels good And I can tell you

2:04

right now like the last You

2:07

know couple years of weeks has just

2:09

been absolutely incredible. I can tell you

2:12

right now for without a doubt the

2:14

last 200 weeks of my life

2:17

bar none greatest times

2:19

a thousand and it's also you

2:21

know this idea of getting excited thinking

2:23

about the last 200 weeks is furthering

2:27

The design and inspiration even

2:30

behind the software that I am now

2:32

calling the existence operating system

2:34

So that you can reflect back on and look

2:37

at these great Milestones

2:39

and achievements and moments in time

2:42

that's happened through these weeks of

2:44

your life For you to

2:46

you know be able to

2:48

reflect and see how far that you have come

2:50

and be able to show how

2:53

Much better you have become week

2:56

by week rather than Did

2:59

you get better day by day right

3:01

because day by day is just so you

3:04

know incredibly difficult and and I think you know

3:06

for me when anybody

3:08

interviews me or talks to me about

3:11

sort of the way that I live and and

3:13

sort of my mindset and my Discipline

3:15

it's always about like, you know, what is your morning routine?

3:19

and again, I'm I really

3:21

believe in that I do think you have

3:24

to have an incredible morning

3:26

routine to have a great day

3:28

and And I'm you know, as you know

3:32

I'm a very disciplined and highly committed

3:34

person that tracks everything that

3:36

they do every day who up into this

3:38

point is Still 100% for

3:41

this year of doing everything

3:44

in his morning routine, which includes

3:46

getting up at five brain training

3:49

Meditating getting in the gym taking

3:51

supplements eating clean

3:53

not drinking Although I never really

3:56

drink when I did drink before 8 a.m.

3:58

I guess maybe if I stay up all night. Because

4:02

this highly high level discipline is also

4:05

like a guy at one point that would stay

4:07

up all night and still have a drink

4:10

at like five in the morning. But

4:12

those days I have evolved away from

4:15

in the sense of trying to live

4:17

a more harmonious beautiful existence.

4:20

Because when you do that, you basically

4:22

wipe away like a month or two of your life, at

4:24

least a solid week if you end up drinking until

4:26

five in the morning. But I look,

4:29

I'm beyond having

4:32

a daily routine that

4:34

leads to consistent great days. To

4:37

me, I have this rhythm

4:39

of the week. I have not

4:41

only a great morning routine that

4:44

informs having great days,

4:46

but every single one of those days is

4:48

different Monday through Friday. So I

4:51

can't look at them all identically.

4:53

And then I've built a structure and a rhythm

4:56

and a system to my week that

4:59

creates the same consistency that

5:01

I get out of a morning routine. Only

5:04

now I have it over a weekly.

5:06

And that week really, really

5:09

shows me how great of a week I had

5:12

rather than looking at just the day where

5:14

you can have one or two bad days

5:16

in a week and be off. But when you

5:18

look at all seven of those days, you

5:21

actually had a solid week. And it also gives

5:23

you this amazing framework to

5:27

prevent yourself from slipping and going from a bad

5:29

day into

5:32

a bad week, into a bad month, into

5:35

a bad quarter, into a bad year, into

5:37

a bad life. That's the slope.

5:40

If you even look at a week more

5:43

as your

5:45

guardrails, if you could look at a

5:47

week as guardrails of how

5:49

you spend your time, how you design your time,

5:52

what you do each day, and measure that

5:55

week and try to replicate that,

5:57

optimize that, replicate that on an all-time basis.

6:00

ongoing basis, that's going to be the pathway

6:03

to leading you towards a better

6:05

life and the life that you desire.

6:08

You can't compare what you're going to do on

6:10

a Saturday to what you

6:12

are going to do on a Monday. You

6:15

can't compare the energy that you have

6:17

on a Friday to the same energy

6:20

you have on a Tuesday. It's

6:22

these different days, depending

6:25

on how your life is, serve a completely

6:27

different purpose to you. It

6:30

does the same thing for me, but designing

6:33

it in a way that it serves the purpose

6:35

that's going to keep you balanced, energized,

6:39

and happy is

6:41

really at the core of

6:44

creating that rhythm

6:47

and that time design that does provide

6:49

that consistency for you, no different

6:51

than if you went after a morning

6:54

routine. It

6:57

will always be about discipline

6:59

and consistency. No

7:02

matter what you do in life, in order

7:04

to live a high energy,

7:06

amazing existence, you've got

7:08

to be disciplined. Then you've

7:11

got to create

7:14

your life the way that allows

7:17

you to stay disciplined and then ultimately

7:22

all of the things that you enjoy and keep you

7:24

balanced in order to live a harmonious

7:26

existence. That really is found

7:29

in the way that you design your week

7:32

versus the way that you design your day.

7:35

Again, if you're someone that like,

7:37

hey, I go out with friends on Friday, so I sleep

7:40

in on Saturdays and I love seeing a

7:42

late night matinee, whatever, whatever your rhythm

7:44

that keeps

7:49

you balanced, keeps you happy, well

7:51

then determine where you would

7:53

slot in things each week

7:56

to keep your rhythm to then

7:58

stack your morning routine

8:00

in your daily rituals and habits

8:03

to create this nice rhythm of a

8:05

week that can really really be

8:08

the foundation of your balance. And

8:13

it's different than

8:16

just thinking

8:18

about, oh what did I

8:20

do this week to have great habits? It's

8:23

more for me thinking about

8:25

it also on this much broader scale

8:28

of how many weeks

8:31

do you have to live? How

8:34

many weeks do you actually have to live? And look,

8:36

I'm not, not everybody

8:38

feels good about this conversation. You

8:40

know what I mean? I don't know. I still

8:43

can't quite determine who's cool with it

8:45

and who's not. You know, if you have 52 weeks

8:48

in a year and

8:51

you're going to live to 90 years old, you

8:54

got 4,680 weeks if you're going to live to 90. If

8:59

you're going to live to 90 years old, you

9:02

have 4,680. For

9:04

me, if I'm telling you I'm at 2554 and 90 is my

9:07

number even though I'm

9:09

an optimist and

9:12

I see myself way older, you know,

9:15

and you might see yourself even younger,

9:17

but it doesn't, it's not necessarily

9:19

something you would ever want to face. But

9:22

I think you should. I

9:24

think you should. I laid out my

9:27

vision for how long I wanted to live

9:29

in weeks. I got on Illustrator

9:31

and I made

9:34

every single week that I had already

9:36

lived into a diamond that

9:38

was red and then all

9:40

the weeks that I had left to live

9:43

in the white squares so that

9:45

I could see visually this

9:48

is how much life

9:51

I have yet to experience. And I shared

9:53

that with my wife and

9:55

her immediate reaction was

9:58

gross. She said gross. It's

10:00

like this is gross. And

10:02

I'm like, oh, you don't know what

10:04

this is. It's amazing.

10:06

No, this is gross. And

10:08

even for me, even for

10:11

me, I don't know what I expected.

10:13

Okay. I don't know what I expected her reaction,

10:15

but it really threw me off that

10:18

she just hit me with growth. It just took it to such

10:20

a different level for me. And

10:22

again, I don't know that it's necessarily

10:26

for everybody to think about, you know,

10:28

and I think specifically people

10:30

that I in their 30s that I've shared it

10:32

with have been the most repulsed. You

10:35

know what I mean? I think someone in their 20s probably doesn't

10:37

even pay it any mind. I don't know.

10:42

But for the most part, people

10:44

do find it somewhat

10:47

morbid, right? Like, oh, like, well, you're

10:49

going to pick your death day. And

10:52

I find it exhilarating and informative

10:55

because when you can look at your week as,

10:58

hey, you only got 52 in the year. And

11:00

if you want to have a great life, make 70

11:04

percent of those great

11:06

weeks and you have an incredible life. Shoot,

11:10

you make, you know, of

11:13

the 52, if you make 55 percent,

11:17

you're going to be half full and feel

11:19

like your life's amazing. You

11:21

know, and, you know, you make if

11:24

your goal is to have two good weeks

11:27

a month. You're still going

11:29

to have an amazing life. And

11:31

if you begin to break it down

11:33

into, you know, this is a

11:36

great way to measure how committed

11:39

I am to my health, how much time

11:41

I'm spending on work versus with my wife

11:43

and kids or my family and friends like,

11:46

am I doing the things that I enjoy or am I

11:49

just doing all these things that I have to do? If

11:51

you begin to measure it and look at it from a week

11:53

and then you begin to look at it through the lens

11:56

of, well, I've got 52

11:58

of these weeks a year. I'd like to spend a handful

12:01

of these traveling and

12:04

doing these more recreational things or things

12:06

that I enjoy and you see all of it through that

12:08

lens, you begin to now have a clear understanding

12:12

of how much time

12:14

that you actually have to

12:16

live. And so it informs

12:20

your ability to see further out into the future

12:23

of knowing that you want to make

12:25

changes in a

12:27

quicker and faster way rather than

12:30

just

12:32

continually moving into day after

12:35

day after day after day after day, hoping

12:38

that eventually the future is going to

12:40

change for you when you have time. It's

12:43

just another one of those frameworks that

12:45

I love using

12:47

in my life and looking at like how

12:50

much time

12:52

do I have left to

12:54

experience life is

12:56

not morbid to me. Because again, I'm

12:59

guessing, and anytime I put any content

13:01

out about I want to live to 114 and 54 days and experience 1

13:04

million hours of life, 5,396 weeks, everybody gets all

13:06

like, oh,

13:14

you're going to, why do you want

13:16

to do that? You never know when your good day is

13:18

going to come. God's coming when God comes to knocking,

13:21

when God comes to knocking, Rob, all

13:23

that health and longevity ain't going to do

13:26

nothing for you. And you're

13:28

right, bitter Midwest troll

13:31

in the Instagram comments, but

13:33

it ain't about that. You know, it

13:35

really is just, I would equate

13:37

it almost to like, you would

13:39

never save money and never

13:42

have a budget because you're going to die anyway.

13:45

And so you just spend your whole life

13:48

going from check to check struggling.

13:51

And now you're 75 needing to work at

13:53

Starbucks so you could pay for your apartment

13:55

to survive because you never saved any money. That

13:58

would be the same thing. And then like, dang, I

14:00

thought I was going to diet at 40 and

14:03

now I'm 75 working at Starbucks.

14:06

Did you say triple coconut

14:09

latte? Right? Like

14:12

that is the same

14:14

thing to me. If you don't

14:17

look at your time and budget your time

14:19

and look at it through the lens that

14:21

you are the creator of time. And

14:25

if you are hopeful, how far do you

14:27

want to live and let that be the anchor, then

14:29

back that into how many weeks that you have

14:31

and then set your intention

14:34

to build a rhythm for your week that

14:37

starts with a great morning routine to have

14:39

great days to stack together great

14:41

weeks that you optimize and get better and

14:43

better over the years so

14:46

that you are realizing

14:48

a much more joyful life

14:51

as you continue towards your inevitable

14:55

final week. You know,

14:57

it feels more of

14:59

it. It feels more of it. I

15:02

know. I know. And I love it. I

15:04

love the framework. And it really opened up my

15:06

eyes to the idea that

15:09

we create time. You

15:11

know, because once I really got deep into creating

15:13

the rhythm of existence and sort of my

15:16

life and days and weeks and months

15:19

and years, like when you begin to see the rhythm

15:21

of how you sort of act and

15:24

see how life actually unfolds,

15:26

you really understand that you are in fact creating

15:29

time. And the greatest

15:31

measurement of how you're creating

15:33

time is how you feel. And

15:36

if you back that into looking at a week

15:40

of how did this week

15:42

feel and what can I do to

15:44

make next week better, man, that is

15:47

a very clear framework

15:49

for you to follow to just

15:52

make your life incrementally better

15:55

over and over because you're creating the

15:57

time each day and you're

15:59

deciding. deciding what you're going to

16:01

do that will eventually, you know,

16:04

make you healthier, happier, wealthier, or

16:07

prevent you from from

16:09

being a better version of yourself. And it's

16:11

easy to see inside

16:14

that framework. And again, I'm

16:16

an optimist in this, you

16:19

know, your life and weeks game, you know what

16:21

I mean? I have 5936 to

16:23

live at 114. I

16:28

just knocked out 2554. What

16:30

do I got left to play

16:33

with? I got 3382. You

16:36

know what I mean? And even if I'm being realistic,

16:38

instead of optimistic, and I, you

16:41

know, I can tell you right now from my body

16:43

type, my health, you know how

16:46

how Gene is still rocking the golf

16:48

course at 83. And

16:51

you know, his father died at like 95. I

16:54

can say with with high certainty,

16:57

my realistic number is 90. If

17:01

I want to be a negative Nancy out here, you know,

17:04

and that's still I know I got 2126 to

17:08

go. And

17:10

so for me, even even when I use that framework

17:13

to plan sort of my future,

17:17

like I know that sort of this stage

17:19

of my life and building this next big

17:21

path that includes the philosophy and the

17:24

software and in the content

17:26

and everything behind this, I know that that

17:28

at this point in these stages over the

17:30

next four or five years that this

17:33

will be sort of the final chapter of

17:35

where I dedicate a lot of energy to building.

17:38

And then into the future, I'm a focus

17:41

on, you know, really savoring a lot

17:43

more aspects of life and traveling

17:45

and golfing and doing more one

17:47

off creative projects as opposed to these

17:49

very, very complex, large,

17:52

big quantum leap level projects

17:55

like creating a philosophy and a software

17:57

and the content connected to that. I

18:00

know I can look out and know that

18:03

in the next couple hundred weeks

18:05

that I'm going to want to be transitioning

18:08

to using my time to savor life

18:10

for the remainder of those weeks and be just

18:13

like Gene. If Gene's making

18:15

a hard run beating all of us on the golf course

18:17

at 83 easily, I'm the same

18:20

guy. Only, I'm saying I'm going

18:23

to be 93 easily smoking people on the golf

18:25

course hitting darts. Luckily

18:28

for me, the deer deck genetics

18:31

has like this flawless swing that can

18:33

only send the ball dead straight. Shout

18:36

out to Pappy Deer Deck and whatever

18:39

he did in our rotator cuff to give us

18:41

that nice smooth swing because

18:43

Gene's got it and Robert's

18:45

got it. I will enjoy

18:49

recreationally golfing like my father

18:51

many, many weeks into the future. And

18:54

again, it's just another

18:56

thing for you to use as a tool to understand

18:59

where you are at in your existence,

19:02

how to optimize it in an easier

19:04

and more understandable framework and

19:07

give yourself a break. Give

19:09

yourself a break. It's so hard to

19:12

be disciplined and do everything

19:15

in your morning routine seven days a

19:17

week and have a great day seven

19:19

days a week. It's so incredibly

19:21

difficult. Even when

19:23

you design time really well and you have

19:25

a great rhythm for your week, like you're

19:28

highly intentional, you're

19:30

still going to get worn out. You're still going to get hit

19:32

with these random things. You're still going

19:35

to be tested that is going to

19:37

ruin one, two, three days in

19:39

that week that might

19:41

feel over a stretch of period that

19:43

you just had a bad month. But the

19:45

truth is you just had three days

19:47

that were bad. And when you look at the reset

19:51

as Monday and you're starting that

19:53

week over, it gives you that

19:55

deeper level of sort

19:57

of the guardrails to. even

20:00

compartmentalize even when life

20:02

comes at you with the

20:04

unexpected things. And

20:07

then you even get to understand what those

20:09

were and how do you optimize into the

20:11

future to hope that they don't happen again to

20:13

get even more consistent with having

20:16

less bad days inside

20:18

those weeks. And

20:20

it's a much easier thing to judge

20:23

when you judge a week rather

20:26

than judging a day.

20:29

And then having a couple bad days in a row

20:31

and then just being like,

20:34

going back to donuts, miss the gym

20:36

three days in a row like I am just lazy.

20:39

Man, okay, that pizza, I guess I'll have this

20:41

pizza. I'll pick it up next

20:44

month after the holidays. It's already

20:46

November. It's going to be Thanksgiving. Oh,

20:49

straight into the holidays. You want to know what?

20:51

I'm going to get motivated on January 1st. You

20:54

know what I mean? And of course, I'm speaking about myself

20:57

for basically the last, you know, basically, you

21:00

know, if I'm 49, that's how I operated. Not

21:03

up until like 10 years ago, up until like

21:05

three years ago. So you know what I mean? I

21:07

was still, you know, losing

21:10

it come Thanksgiving and

21:12

then just fading all the way into

21:15

Christmas into New Year's. And I got the data to

21:18

prove it. I got the data to prove

21:20

it since I have incrementally weighed myself

21:22

every single day for the last

21:24

seven years, I can show you my holiday

21:28

body by week because

21:31

I only log in my weekly average

21:33

of weight. And for many

21:36

years, I would just you'd see me just

21:38

thickening up from November

21:41

to peak pig at the at

21:44

Jan 1 start all over

21:48

in the new year, new me. And

21:50

God, now, of course, I've evolved beyond

21:52

that. So it is no longer

21:54

part of my way of

21:57

being where I am just, you

21:59

know. straight, you know, basically

22:02

within a point of

22:04

a pound on a

22:06

weekly basis on a nonstop level

22:09

now, which I'm very grateful for because I really

22:11

never thought I'd be able to escape it. And

22:14

again, it was just measuring that week over

22:16

week that led to it. But

22:19

here's what my week looks like in the

22:21

sense of me creating that rhythm,

22:23

you know, because of course, I'm, you know, to

22:26

the point where I'm much more disciplined.

22:28

And I just, you know, I

22:31

enjoy the idea of not missing,

22:34

like any of my morning routine

22:37

under any circumstances ever,

22:39

or the core things that I track, like

22:42

it's, it's just now where I design

22:44

my entire life around it. So

22:46

no matter what, I'm up before five,

22:48

I'm brain training, meditating and getting

22:50

in the gym every

22:52

single day, no matter what, it's

22:55

just not even something that I even compromised,

22:57

not when I travel, not when I'm

22:59

on vacation, nothing. And again,

23:02

you know, you add your, you know,

23:04

health side of that as it relates to,

23:06

you know, eating clean

23:08

and taking supplements and, you

23:11

know, really getting a great night's sleep and tracking

23:13

the sleep and, and logging all of

23:15

your time and all of these things that go into

23:17

my morning routine that

23:20

continually to make, you know, give

23:22

me that ability to live each day with intention.

23:26

But knowing that life's going to come

23:28

at you a certain feeling way, I'm going to feel

23:30

different ways, even being that disciplined and

23:33

that I'm still going to want to be adaptable

23:35

based off of how I feel. But

23:37

on Mondays, you know, I basically

23:40

do a reset to set the entire week.

23:42

And for me, that's always just been like, what's easiest

23:45

for me, like I let the weekend kind

23:47

of flow. And then on Monday, let

23:49

me set essentially the intention

23:51

for the week. And to me that's essentially

23:53

like the C-suite meetings,

23:56

you know, it's, it's, I spend, you

23:58

know, after I do my morning routine. drop the kids

24:00

off at school, then I spend the time going

24:03

through organizing

24:05

everything that I want to speak to, you

24:08

know, my key executives with

24:11

and I meet with my chief of staff, COO,

24:14

CFO, CMO. And

24:17

that is my Monday. Like, let me get to the high

24:20

level of every single thing

24:22

that's going on. And that basically,

24:24

you know, essentially

24:26

gets me caught up on every

24:28

aspect of what I'm doing

24:30

across all businesses,

24:33

family office, and life,

24:36

right? All of it in that sort of Monday

24:38

reset for me. And then I leave the afternoons

24:41

for a little bit of free

24:43

work time, spend time

24:45

with the kids depending on the time. Sometimes

24:48

I'll take my wife to dinner. I just

24:50

I used to pack

24:50

that Monday in with back to back to

24:53

back to back to back.

24:54

And it I like something I

24:56

didn't somewhere I didn't need to do. I should do

24:58

later. I just I just continually

25:01

optimized till I got the Monday in

25:03

a place that gave

25:05

me a ton of energy and set

25:07

the week off. Right. And then

25:10

on Tuesdays, I always shoot

25:12

TV on Tuesdays

25:15

or I set meetings that are

25:17

ad hoc meetings. Right. So

25:19

in my rhythm, I'm always shooting

25:22

TV on Tuesdays and Fridays

25:25

every other week. Right. Then

25:27

I build, you know, those

25:30

every other week time slots is where I throw

25:33

in interviews and ad hoc meetings

25:35

and all this stuff. So I stay in that

25:37

same rhythm. I'm still getting up with the same morning

25:39

routine all the way to the gym, taking the

25:41

kids to school. Boom. I'm either

25:44

like going to shoot TV on

25:46

that day or I have ad hoc meetings

25:48

that day or do execution. But

25:50

that rhythm never changes. Like

25:53

I wouldn't shift that around unless there's, you

25:55

know, holidays or something and I'm not shooting.

25:58

I would. These

28:00

days shooting television and flexibility.

28:02

Wednesday has some flexibility in

28:05

it and Thursday is locked. Thursday is where you

28:07

put all those ongoing meetings so

28:10

that you can

28:12

stay in the rhythm on these weeklies that you

28:14

have to do and they are not

28:17

disrupted based off of your shooting schedule.

28:21

On Fridays, on a

28:24

Thursday night, me and the wife have talk night. Like,

28:27

hey turn off the TV and let's just talk.

28:30

When we are at breakfast that day, we talk through

28:32

everything that we are going to

28:34

talk about that night. Then

28:38

Friday is another shoot day. Then

28:40

most of the time when I don't shoot television,

28:44

then I shoot the

28:46

podcast and

28:48

put it into that slot. Again,

28:50

when you see that Monday through Friday

28:52

rhythm, by creating that

28:54

consistency and then time blocking

28:58

based off of the needs of

29:00

it being a weekly meeting or needing ad

29:02

hoc space or shooting television, it

29:05

allows around my time

29:07

with my kids and dates

29:10

with my wife. You can see where just

29:12

that week rhythm, just doing that

29:14

over and over and continually

29:16

optimizes it just guarantees that I am going

29:18

to be living in this harmonious balanced

29:21

high energy state because I just

29:23

continually optimize into using

29:25

the ad hoc time for the things that I

29:27

have to execute, continually having

29:29

the weeklies that are important, fitting in

29:31

the amount of meetings that I need

29:34

to be on top of and collaborative

29:36

with everybody involved in my overall system,

29:40

but still adaptable

29:43

based off of how I feel. Then

29:45

on the weekends, I get

29:47

up the same way, no different, 5 AM,

29:50

run the whole thing and then

29:54

it's family adventure on Saturday. It's

29:56

martial arts. It's

29:58

gymnastics. it's go see a movie.

30:01

It's more ad hoc as it relates

30:03

to spending time with the family. Every

30:06

Sunday for the last two years, I

30:09

have a two-hour call with the author

30:12

of the book I am creating and where we just

30:15

ideate and talk philosophy every Sunday

30:17

morning from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.

30:20

Then I jump on top

30:22

of doing my morning routine right

30:25

after I wake the kids up and then

30:28

end the evening after an adventure

30:30

day with family or doing

30:33

some sort of life activity. Do

30:36

I then go take the wife

30:38

out for a Sunday sushi, come

30:41

back, spend time with the kids and

30:43

then get ready to do it all over again.

30:45

Again,

30:48

I look at that week and I look at what was

30:50

your qualitative score average for the week,

30:53

what was your body composition for the week, what

30:55

was your sleep score average for the week,

30:59

I rate my brain training qualitatively,

31:03

what does that look like, tracking my

31:05

blood sugar, what was your overall average

31:07

and now I have all these

31:09

data and all these numbers to

31:13

look at how optimized

31:16

and how well did I win that week.

31:18

I look at it through quantified

31:21

numbers and qualitative numbers and biometrics

31:24

and how I spent my time and

31:27

I can show you in numbers and graphs

31:31

of what an incredible week that

31:33

I had and when you

31:35

look at all the weeks over the last 200, 150 you

31:38

really see how optimizing for the week

31:40

has really led my

31:49

quality life to a higher and

31:51

higher place and that's really what

31:53

it's about. You're just looking for ways

31:56

to create the framework to

31:58

get yourself to a higher quality. quality of

32:00

life and measuring your life

32:02

in weeks and

32:04

trying to have a better week, week

32:07

over week or create your weekly

32:10

average that's a great week is

32:12

going to be the best path to

32:14

get there. And you know what it

32:17

is. You got to create the vision

32:19

to get there. You got to build the strategy

32:21

to realize those weeks and then you got

32:24

to go out and live it.

32:26

So with the news. Until next time, see you.

32:28

Believe it.
