| 0:00.0 | We're having this podcast right now and if I had perfection as the standard we probably would be doing this podcast |
| 0:08.9 | because the sound isn't as great as it could be and we've been interrupted three or four times by my five in center |
| 0:15.6 | all as they run it and this is not the perfect scenario to run a podcast with. Well as show Samberg said you know |
| 0:23.4 | seeing all of Facebook is like done is better than perfect. Period like let's realize that things are not |
| 0:32.6 | going to be just the way you want them right now. There's going to be you're going to have to do things |
| 0:37.9 | over zoom calls instead of in face to face. You're going to have distractions from your family. You're |
| 0:42.5 | not going to be in the office. You're not going to have total focus on certain things. Instead just get |
| 0:50.8 | things done. I love it. Done is better than perfect. We are here because we know the outcomes in our |

| 1:45.3 | and a lot of people responded well to it. So I thought it might be worth revisiting in light of |
| 1:50.9 | everything that's going on now because I'm really curious how you would take that same mentality, |
| 1:56.2 | the same thinking and you know what what stays the same and what maybe changes given every you |
| 2:03.6 | know the context of everybody's lives today. And so so before we get into that I want to just kind of |
| 2:09.1 | quick reminder of what what the original 10 were. And so they were don't hit this news. Don't get |
| 2:15.8 | mad at traffic. Don't be late. Don't tolerate gossip. Don't watch the news. Don't pass judgment. |
| 2:23.2 | Don't eat and scroll. Don't check email before noon. Don't leave dishes in the sink and don't wait |
