Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness podcast. I don't actually know exactly what I'm

0:05.5

going to talk about today, but I do have three things I want to talk about and then maybe something

0:10.4

else. We'll, we'll see. So the first thing I'm going to tell you about is my Envisaline.

0:15.9

So for those of you who have been following very closely on my Envisal journey, I'm sure there are

0:20.5

exactly none of you.

0:22.6

I think, so I'm at the end, right? I'm technically at the end of what they said. So it must have

0:27.3

been about a year, I guess. Or anyway, it's been 32 aligners worth of straightening my teeth. So I went in and they were like,

1:16.4

Much like that probably those last little bits of like getting your teeth straight

1:20.8

are by far the hardest.

1:22.2

And this actually kind of links into the 80-20 principle.

1:25.8

I think the best way to, or the analogy that clicks for me the most

1:31.0

with the 80-20 principle, not analogy example that clicks for me most, is if you're making

1:38.4

something like a presentation, it probably takes you 20% of the time to do 80% of the content, but then to make it flow perfectly

1:47.7

and to add in some references and to make it all look nice and stuff, it takes like an extra

1:53.0

80% of time, right? Same kind of principle. It's like actually the start of something is
