I think maybe in a past life I was in the military. One of my one of the words that I live by is the word discipline and and not disciplining, but the idea of a disciplined life. So the idea of having, you know, some goals for our family, you know, we have a lot of you know, structure within our day to be consistent so that, you know, people don’t have to run around and find their shoes in the morning. If we always leave our shoes in the right spot. We don’t have to run around and find the where’s the keys if you keep the keys in the right spot and, you know, taking time to be prepared on Sunday nights for the week, the night before for the next morning. So you know kind of we have like a regiment of a disciplined life that just leads to everybody kind of pulling their weight and makes life a little easier.
