  Speaker 1: I guess you could say it's a page out of
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: the old radio days, and can I really do that?
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Since I've been in radio since the age of fourteen,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: stretching all the way back to the disco era. The
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: one thing that's missing from today's music scene it's history,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: which was the reason why we created the new podcast,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Music's Lost History. I'm going to totally set you up
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: on what song we're talking about, but the question is
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: can you guess it before I share it? Music's Lost
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: History only on Arrow dot net, Roe dot net. Enjoy
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: your exploration. Hey, what's going on? It's me that question guy,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the dude that's always asking questions, because it's always more
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: fun when you stop and start researching for answers such as,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: is time moving faster forward or in a memory? Once again,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: is time moving faster forward or in a memory? Plus,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: do people's jobs and careers lead to other addictions? Ooh,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: my name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: then activate. I call it the Daily Mess because it's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a chronological walk through an everyday world. It is my
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: as people tend to throw things to the side because
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: we think we're going to deal with it later on. Well,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: when a subject arrives inside of me, dude, it is
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: but by doing the research, the picture is going to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: become clearer. This is the daily mess. Where is time
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: moving faster? Is it faster forward or in a memory?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: The bigger question is are we talking about physical time
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: or experiencing with time? When you're marching forward in life,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: this doesn't actually speed up. Every second, every minute is
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: always going to be the same every single day, three
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five days a year. In memory, time
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: plays a totally different game where it does move a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: lot faster. Why at an older age, though, does it
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: feel like that time itself is flying by? Well, you
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: can blame that one on the brain. It tends to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: form fewer vivid new memories during our everyday routines. When
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you look back at a month or a year, there
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: are fewer distinct events to mark the passage of time.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Many psychologists think novelty plays a huge role here. You know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: like a vacation, learning new skills and meeting new people, novelty.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: They actually call it psychological time, and it's said to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: always be speeding really quickly. By this, while real time
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: is exactly what real time does, every second, every hour,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: everything is the same three hundred and sixty five days
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a year. So if the brain isn't mild marking lifetime
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: moments like it used to, what the hell can we
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: do to put our minds in this so called psychological time?
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Keep a daily journal, take lots of photos, record short
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: messages to yourself on a digital device. This seems so
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: old fashion, But the thing is, though, is that you
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: really should be saving your concert ticket stops. It encourages
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: our brain to pay more attention to the experiences, which,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: after these memories, means what how fast is life going
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to fly? Depends on what you're saving and what you're
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: doing with what you have saved. Is that like saving
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it for a rainy day? Could be? I bet that
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: would work in this coming up next, Do people's jobs
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: or careers lead to other addictions? Hey, thanks for coming
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: back to the daily mess Do people's jobs or careers
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: lead to other addictions? Woo? That is a very very
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: big subject and one that a lot of people don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: even want to put their feed in. But the answer
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: is yes. Addiction is quite possible and connected to what
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you have chosen to do with your employment schedule. It's
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: okay to ask why. While addiction arrives through high stress jobs,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: we are just talking about being an alcoholic or using drugs.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: The addiction might be food or gambling. Addiction also comes
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to the altar when creative careers are involved. That area
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is also connected due to irregular schedules, performances, pressure, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: social environments. Being a workaholic is no different than dating alcoholism.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: It is so easy to become addicted to your job
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: instead of an addiction taking over. What are other ways
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to pull the stress out of your heart strings? How
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: about this exercise? What a pain in the butt? Right?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Just do it? Exercise, hobbies, volunteering, spending valuable time with
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: your family. Researchers often talk about cross addiction or addiction transfer.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: It's when a person replaces one compulsive behavior with another.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: But keep in mind, careers don't directly cause addiction. Hmmm,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that. It's the stress. It is
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the constant rewards and lack of rewards, The pressures of
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: associating yourself with certain jobs that can increase the likelihood
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that someone is going to develop an unhealthy habit. Do
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: people's jobs or careers lead to addiction? You know what?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: The answer is. Awareness is everything. Pay close attention to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: what your job or career is doing to you, and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: basically do everything that you can to not sell out.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: He says that in a society where every job right
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: now is on the line and the people making the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: decisions don't really care, that's going to lead you to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a place where you need to be aware. I'm and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I'm Marrow, and that's the daily mess.
