I create systems for everything. Again, even it can be simple. You need your admin every day to bring your coffee. Cool. Make a fucking system for it. How do you know when to get it ready? Yeah, I share my location. You can see, I can get a message when I leave my house. I'll be at the office 12 minutes later. When the location dings you that I left, hit the button. Like you can do it for anything, you know? So I put a lot of systems in my life in different ways because there's only so much I can remember. I'm one dude. I can't remember all of this. I, there's no way I'm not humanly capable of remembering everything. And who we talked to and who did what and everybody's name and who paid for— I don't know. I just know I have a system and I know I can look it up. I can find it. I know she watches it. She knows a lot of detail way better than I do because we put systems in place to make things happen.
