Controlling chaos through disciplined systems is what Tim and Steve discuss:

• Chaos is the universe's default; order must be intentionally created

• You can't control everything — focus on the controllables

• Disciplined systems help you respond, not react, to chaos

• Rituals and routines create structure and stability

• Remove temptations and distractions proactively

• Discipline = choosing order over chaos, consistently

• Systems make the right choices easier over time

• You can't eliminate chaos — but you can manage it with structure and intention
