the best heuristic that I've learned to help people overcome that fear of not being perfect. Like, I'm an Optimizer right Tim Ferriss. I loved listening to him on the come-up. We did 25 episodes of life hacks on how To make the perfect toasted sandwich during your meditation app or you'd screen time blocking or this new type of Crocs or whatever. They like the best bamboo cotton pants we found so I was an Optimizer and the problem with being someone that wants to do things. Right and does the cares and does things with earnestness and stuff like that. Is that there? Is this sort of You

allow yourself to be excused from doing a thing because what I'm just finding out the information right? I'm sort of stuck in this Preparatory phase. I'm permanently permanently writing the plan and actually acting on the on the plan and the best thing because we can throw pithy aphorisms around all day and I'm sometimes accused of doing that. Tactically the best thing that I've relied on for. This is is this a reversible decision if it's a reversible decision starting a diet is the most (expletive) reversed But because tomorrow guess what you can do a different diet probably not a good idea. But if you say hey for 60 days, I'm just going to give this a crack. I'm going to see if intermittent fasting is for me as opposed to watching all of the podcasts about it or reading all of the Articles or you know arguing with people on (expletive) Instagram comments about it. Like you do that like just not it's a reversible decision for sure. Right and if it's a reversible decision, then the net cost of you trying it is Zero, right because all that you will have lost is some of the time that you would have lost vacillating about whether or not to make the decision in any case so why not just have a crack and close the loop on dude. I tried intermittent fasting to know what it is might work for some people I can't deal with the hunger pangs I get to 2 p.m. And I'm like, I got to eat everything and it causes me to rebound more nighttime or or it might be like for me keto for me really doesn't I don't like the way that my stomach feels on keto. No, I feel very hungry. A lot of the time high fat doesn't seem to agree with me fine by close that loop I close that Loop like 10 years ago and my all right. I have some different dietary Tools in my tool kit kiito's not one of them. Maybe I'll give another crack in five years, maybe my constitutional have changed a little bit or whatever. So what you've mentioned there is that and this is a really interesting and really important. I think identity-based change someone thinks about the end result type of person not necessarily a person. What would that type of person do? What would the best version of you tomorrow want you today to do what sort of decisions would they make now presumably the only way that you can actually work out what those decisions are. Yes. I want to be leaner. I want to be healthy. I want to be fair to I want to be the sort of person that looks good with the top off or whatever. It might be but you need to actually understand what the contributing elements are of that strategy. And if you don't know what the principles are that you need to follow your like wishing for this outcome. Come with no mechanism to help yourself get that.
