So you're spending 50 hours a week, Monday to Friday at quote, unquote, at work. Right. But if you're being honest with yourself, you really only get, like, two really highly productive hours done each day. If we cut your hours down to three hours a day, as opposed to 10 hours a day now, what happens is that the first day that you go to three hours, you're not going to get two hours of work done. In fact, you might not get any work done. But by the second and third day, the pressure to get work done is going to start to build on it yourself. At some point that first week, you're going to start making different decisions. The phone is going to ring and you're not going to answer it because you know that's going to cut into the three hours that you have. A person or a employee might come to you and say, do you have a minute? And you might answer, no, I don't, because I got to get this work done. And this is the beginning of you building that muscle of what someone who is 80% effective.
