I have really good time management skills. I think that's at the heart of it. And you also have to know how to take care of yourself, because I used to just push it and push it and push it and stay up late and sleep for four hours and then get up and I would get sick. There's what I noticed many years ago, like a decade ago. And I really realized that I had to not only schedule my time mentally where I had to be creative, but also I had to schedule my time off. And so, as a result, like, even in my calendar on Sundays, I have the whole day blocked off, off for to do nothing other than what I feel like at that moment. It's a function of good time management skills, good prioritization skills, and good sort of like, organizational skills, being able to organize a to do list and things like that.
