This is the Discipline equals Freedom episode five sitting here with echo Charles as the

deaf reset the discipline equals freedom reset approached I

fought to myself about my life and what helped me with discipline and there was a

juncture in my life when I was, I don't want to say addicted to, but I was kind of addicted to checklists and if I had to do something I wrote it down. I didn't I want to be a good seal and therefore if I got tasked with something I didn't want to not do what I was tasked to do so I wrote it down with a little I would draw a little box next to it a little checklist box. You know what I'm saying? Did you ever do that? So you could check it? Literally check the boxes right? Did you ever do that so you could check it literally check the boxes right did you ever do that no okay

I kind of really got addicted to checking the boxes and it was a very useful tool for me

especially at that time in my life when I had a lot of tasks that were like immediate

tactical level tasks, like you got to do this, you got to prep the radios, you got to contact this, you got to do this you got to prep the radios you got to contact this you got to get this printer cartridge ordered like

legitimate things like that in life I have less things like that now a lot less things like that right now in my life because people on my team

we have decentralized command and a lot of that stuff's happening so I'm kind of doing

more big muscle movement strategic things over time.

So I kind of know what I have to do.

But as I was thinking about trying to help people get on a discipline path,

I know that that was a huge tool that I used in my life. So I called

Jamie and Jen and I was like hey and this was maybe it was kind of like mid

December is way late and I said hey what, what do you think we could get together

like a planner to help people with this?

And they said, yep, we can do it.

I said, how fast you think we can turn around and Jen and Jamie are awesome.

They said, yep, we can get it done. We'll get it done. So they got it done.

It's a little planter, right a basic planner, which is something cooler.

It's quarterly planner, take action.

That's what the thing is about.
