... right? So it, it, it wires, it uses that attentional priming to wire your brain for number one, distraction.
Jim KwikGUEST
'Cause none of that's important, right? And then it also wires your brain for reaction, meaning, uh, Brendon Burchard who wrote Motivation- Motivational Manifesto said, Motivation Manifesto said, "Your inbox is nothing but a convenient organizational system for other people's agenda for your life." And isn't that true that you could get a voicemail or an email or something else and you're fighting fires, and you're starting your day on defense.
Jennifer CohenHOST
Yeah.
Jim KwikGUEST

Jim KwikGUEST
Like, how are you gonna be a successful father or entrepreneur or whatever you wanna do that day if you're just fighting fires and on the defense, right? You get one message...
