Let's get the little airplane lit up. So we haven't got our WhatsApp, Twitter, our pings, buzzes, beeps or whatever, distracting us from what we're spending our time doing here today. Making sure that you've got a fresh sheet as well. Fresh sheet, fresh thinking. So you wanna make sure you've got a nice clean page in your notebook. And at the top of this, you're gonna write keepers and keepers are the things that you want to remember that you wanna remind yourself about.
