whether directly or indirectly I know Jocko follows this principle the way you
do anything is the way you do everything this is an intro this question I I had
to pull out because what you're gonna see it's very I think it's question
maybe you might be even more suited to answer than me we'll go ahead proceed
interesting now let's say you're sitting on the couch and you want to switch the
light on the switches to your right and you know there's a 95% chance that you
can reach it from where you're sitting without having to leave the couch what
do you do do you take the chance to reach it or to reach for it in vain and
then get up walk to the switch and turn it on or do you get up right away and
make then make the extra effort and get it done in the most efficient manner
regardless of if there was potentially an easier way yet you know where you
said I I know I'd love to give some big profound answer about this but here's
the deal I would accurately assess the distance of light switch right oh
accurately accurately assess it and I'd figure out the best way to turn it on
and then I turn it on that's what I do I mean if I got to get up out a better
get up get to get out of it yeah or I'd pull a pull we on the couch
is that the situation I want I need the light on so yeah all right get the light
on my phone out and see what I got to see with the light because I'm thinking
out of the box over on my side well that's what I'm doing what you do this
as far as the as far as the thing the way you do anything is the way you do
everything that's partly true but at the same time guess what you gotta
prioritize and execute and and there are some things that are not as important as
other things my famous example is that my gym floor in my home gym is not clean
it's there's chalk on it there's some sweat stains I don't go in there
three times a week with a mop and swab it and get all the chalk out and power
wash it that's what it would take maybe two times a week if I power washed it
pull all the stuff out of the garage power wash the mats pull them back in
there set the garage back up that's what it would take to keep
matze clean that does I don't care if those mats are clean or not doesn't
matter me right I have to prioritize there's much much much more important
things than whether my mats in my garage gym are clean doesn't matter yeah dude
you do mats are different right did you - Matt's got to be clean those guys well
we got people to clean those mats you know after classes sure that's a
priority the ones at my house that just me don't matter that doesn't mean that
I'm slacking in other areas Yeah right there's a minimum standard in certain
things like theirs and even my home gym mats I have a vacuum and I hit him with
the vacuum when I get too much dog hair on him which actually I do that like
every one or two days and takes three minutes to just vacuum dog hair right
but there's a minimum standard to hold the line and as far as doing things the
most efficient way I try and do things the right way but try these things the
right way which generally that coincides with the most efficient way generally
generally there are but here that's not what he's talking about here so when you
say yeah when you said I'm a here's the thing man bro this guy you don't we
don't have his name but man we need to get together and like talk be strong
this is the kind of stuff that I think about all the time in this obsessive way
but in this n it is my mind man that's a good question - so basically he's asking
like okay and it happens for literally half a second maybe one whole second
we're like okay man I need the light on what do I do
do i you know like how he said do I reach for it because that's the easiest
way I don't have to stand up use all my leg and back muscles to stand up and
walk over like just reach for it but if I can't reach it
now I got to do expend all the energy of reaching for it failing bring the hand
back and then doing the standing up thing that I'd was trying to avoid in
the first place so it's one of those things so what do i do man what do I do
but it's chance it or do I just be like hey you know I'm not gonna chance
anything I'm just gonna expend the extra energy and turn on the light so what do
I do right yeah man it's a conundrum same
thing with the soy sauce pulses same thing
also here's though here's one you might did you see the meme yes there's there's
a common there's a couple memes about you in the store
one of them one of them was like a black-and-white photo did you see that
one I was like a black-and-white photo but it said something it was this
black-and-white photo of of soy sauce bulls oh yeah what did it say afraid I
like this distress or something like it was better than the struggle is real
yeah and then they had the superhero looking guy that had but two buttons the
other two parties anyway here's on and Brian here's one that this is this one's
a real problem small but a real problem for most of you yes when you're laying
in bed at night you're see you're sleeping and you wake up you like man I
got a ticket that I gotta use the bathroom
mmm-hmm but not too bad I thought these about them bad just a little bit so what
do i do do I hold it power through the discomfort because the discomfort isn't
that bad and hopefully I'll fall asleep because I don't want to get up in late
myself up more and turn on the light and do all this stuff and walk around get
the blood flowing then what if I can't fall asleep as quick or whatever or I'm
tired I don't even want to get out of bed you know so what do I do
because if I go use the bathroom oh man I'll be fully relaxed it'll be done I
don't it won't keep me up the discomfort won't keep me up but if I can fall back
asleep I didn't even have to get out of bed soon saying so what do you do you're
at that and if you really got to use the bathroom it's no issue because it's
obvious you know but if you just have to a little bit it's a hard question you
guys zero seconds I spend zero seconds thinking about that
issue zero this is no factor whatsoever in what you do you're like I'm gonna go
use bathroom here's my here's my answer to your question yeah if I have to go
the bathroom I go to the bath what if you kinda have to go to the bathroom no
there's no kinda yes therefore I don't know no your baby so if your bladder is
full okay you got he's about to plenty for
you what if your blood is one-third full then I don't have to go to the bathroom
okay so you have a distinct like cutoff men in feeling so you don't have that
great area that I love you or I don't all right so most of us we don't have to
like that no we gotta like consider you know the
same way that anyway anyway I dig it and and that's gonna be one of those on
challenges I think you know I think the main and I almost left that whole second
half of the question because the main point of the question was the way you do
anything is the way you do everything yes that's true to a point you should
definitely keep you know you try and maintain consistent effort and hold the
line and everything but that economy is that if you try and hold the line on
every single thing that's not possible and you'd spend your whole life cleaning
up everything around you and fixing things and what you just do you need
wasting time when you have you need to prioritize and execute pick the biggest
problems pick the biggest things are gonna have the most impact on you and
then focus on those things and don't worry about some other things yeah that
little conundrum is everywhere but sometimes I'll be vacuuming and then you
know like when you vacuum over like I don't know let's say it's a piece of big
piece of lint you go over the vacuum once you know and it doesn't go in you
go again it doesn't go I need to go I could have picked that thing up like
three four seconds ago so why didn't you cuz I thought it could have actual could
have got it with a vacuum and I wouldn't have to bend down you know I mean it's
like that kind of stuff yeah it's efficiency not laziness but either way
you know what though this guy you combine with this guy's question
answered the question with how you do everything you just establish a protocol
if there's a question you just do the guaranteed one there if I see a piece of
lint a vacuum it it didn't go up don't pick it up that's it under maybe I get a
double take right yeah generally you gotta go forward and back on a vacuum
anyways you know what I'm saying you just rerun that same track yeah because
you know you're going forward back but you're you're offsetting a little bit
yeah and sometimes the back depending on your brush depend on the back one over
the back one sometimes it's a more powerful okay because the brush spins a
certain way interesting but either way yeah good but either way
please eat okay nope and then guess what on the forward stroke you can go now to
your next track and you can bend down grab the piece of lint you're good to go
done yeah so and the point is establish a protocol where it's like you know what
I'm not gonna waste my time no you know risking it and all this stuff I'm just
gonna go for the real deal anyway
