  There
• 0:00
  are
• 0:00
  very
• 0:00
  few
• 0:01
  times
• 0:01
  when
• 0:02
  I
• 0:02
  think
• 0:02
  it
• 0:02
  makes
• 0:03
  sense
• 0:03
  to
• 0:04
  truly
• 0:04
  multitask.
• 0:05
  And
• 0:05
  there
• 0:06
  are
• 0:06
  very
• 0:06
  few
• 0:06
  situations
• 0:07
  where
• 0:08
  you
• 0:08
  can
• 0:08
  truly
• 0:09
  multitask
• 0:11
  by
• 0:11
  doing
• 0:11
  two
• 0:12
  things
• 0:12
  at
• 0:12
  once.
• 0:12
  Normally
• 0:13
  it's
• 0:13
  rapid
• 0:14
  switching
• 0:14
  between
• 0:15
  tasks.
• 0:16
  Yeah.
• 0:23
  Hey
• 0:24
  there.
• 0:24
  Welcome
• 0:24

  Adams.

  We're
• 0:29
  here
• 0:29
  for
• 0:29
  practical
• 0:30
  and
• 0:30
  fun
• 0:30
  conversations
• 0:31
  about
• 0:32
  living
• 0:32
  with
• 0:32
  more
• 0:32
  ease
• 0:33
  and
• 0:33
  way

  We're
• 0:35
  all
• 0:36
  about
• 0:36
  embracing
• 0:37
  progress
• 0:37
  over
• 0:38
  perfection.
• 0:39
  So
• 0:39
  grab

  let's
• 0:41
  get
• 0:41
  started.
• 0:42
  Hey,
• 0:42
  Janine.
• 0:43
  Hey,
• 0:43
  Shannon.
• 0:44
  How
• 0:44
  you
• 0:44
  doing?
• 0:44
  I'm
• 0:45
  doing
• 0:45
  all
• 0:45
  right.
• 0:45
  How
• 0:46
  are
• 0:46
  you?
• 0:46
  Doing
• 0:46
  all
• 0:47
  right
• 0:47
  too.
• 0:47
  Anticipating
• 0:48
  a
• 0:48
  winter
• 0:49
  storm
• 0:49
  that
• 0:49
  will
• 0:49
  allow
• 0:50
  me
• 0:50
  to
• 0:50
  be
• 0:50
  inside
• 0:52
  and
• 0:52
  stay
• 0:52
  cozy
• 0:53
  all
• 0:53
  weekend
• 0:53
  without
• 0:53
  guilt.
• 0:57
  That
• 0:58
  is
• 0:58
  not
• 0:58
  where
• 0:58
  I
• 0:59
  thought
• 0:59
  you
• 0:59
  were
• 0:59
  going
• 0:59
  with
• 1:00
  that.
• 1:01
  Where
• 1:01
  did
• 1:02
  you
• 1:02
  think
• 1:02
  I
• 1:02
  was
• 1:02
  going?
• 1:05
  Expressing
• 1:06
  some
• 1:06
  sort
• 1:06
  of
• 1:06
  concern
• 1:07
  about
• 1:07
  the
• 1:08
  winter
• 1:08
  storm.
• 1:09
  Not
• 1:09
  that
• 1:09
  you
• 1:09
  were
• 1:09
  looking
• 1:10
  forward
• 1:10
  to
• 1:10
  it
• 1:11
  because
• 1:12
  you
• 1:12
  know
• 1:12
  what
• 1:12
  you'll
• 1:13
  gain.
• 1:13
  Yeah.
• 1:14
  Right.
• 1:14
  Okay.
• 1:15
  I
• 1:15
  hope
• 1:15
  others
• 1:15
  farewell
• 1:16
  in
• 1:16
  the
• 1:16
  storm.
• 1:17
  Yeah.
• 1:18
  Yeah.
• 1:21
  I
• 1:21
  assume
• 1:21
  that
• 1:22
  you
• 1:22
  won't
• 1:22
  be
• 1:23
  doing
• 1:23
  any
• 1:23
  multitasking
• 1:25
  while
• 1:25
  you're
• 1:26
  enjoying
• 1:26
  your
• 1:27
  weekend.
• 1:28
  No,
• 1:28
  because
• 1:29
  I'll
• 1:30
  have
• 1:30
  so
• 1:30
  much
• 1:31
  time
• 1:31
  that
• 1:31
  I
• 1:31
  won't
• 1:32
  feel
• 1:32
  like
• 1:32
  I
• 1:32
  have
• 1:32
  to.
• 1:33
  It's
• 1:34
  actually
• 1:34
  not
• 1:34
  true.
• 1:34
  I
• 1:35
  will
• 1:35
  probably
• 1:35
  watch
• 1:36
  TV
• 1:36
  and
• 1:37
  knit
• 1:37
  or
• 1:37
  write
• 1:38
  postcards
• 1:38
  to
• 1:38
  voters
• 1:39
  at
• 1:39
  the.
• 1:39
  Same
• 1:39
  time,
• 1:40
  which
• 1:40
  is,
• 1:41
  interestingly,
• 1:42
  I
• 1:43
  feel
• 1:43
  a
• 1:43
  reasonable
• 1:44
  time
• 1:44
  to
• 1:45
  multitask.
• 1:45
  There
• 1:46
  are
• 1:46
  very
• 1:46
  few
• 1:47
  times
• 1:47
  when
• 1:47
  I
• 1:48
  think
• 1:48
  it
• 1:48
  sort
• 1:49
  of
• 1:49
  makes
• 1:49
  sense
• 1:50
  to
• 1:51
  truly
• 1:51
  multitask.
• 1:52
  And
• 1:52
  there
• 1:52
  are
• 1:53
  very
• 1:53
  few
• 1:53
  situations
• 1:54
  where
• 1:54
  you
• 1:55
  can
• 1:55
  truly
• 1:56
  multitask
• 1:57
  by
• 1:58
  doing
• 1:58
  two
• 1:58
  things
• 1:59
  at
• 1:59
  once.
• 1:59
  I
• 1:59
  mean,
• 1:59
  normally
• 2:00
  it's
• 2:00
  rapid
• 2:01
  switching
• 2:02
  between
• 2:02
  tasks.
• 2:03
  Yeah.
• 2:04
  And
• 2:04
  I
• 2:05
  think
• 2:05
  with
• 2:05
  the
• 2:05
  knitting,
• 2:07
  I've
• 2:07
  been
• 2:07
  a
• 2:08
  knitter
• 2:08
  for
• 2:08
  so
• 2:08
  long
• 2:08
  that
• 2:09
  I
• 2:09
  do
• 2:09
  feel
• 2:09
  I'm
• 2:10
  successfully
• 2:11
  actually
• 2:11
  multitasking
• 2:12
  because
• 2:12
  I
• 2:12
  can
• 2:12
  knit
• 2:13
  without
• 2:13
  looking
• 2:13
  at
• 2:13
  the.
• 2:14
  At
• 2:15
  my
• 2:15
  hands
• 2:15
  and.
• 2:16
  But
• 2:17
  with
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  postcards
• 2:18
  to
• 2:18
  voters,
• 2:19
  I
• 2:19
  think
• 2:19
  I
• 2:20
  am
• 2:20
  actually
• 2:20
  switching
• 2:21
  and
• 2:21
  I
• 2:21
  am.
• 2:22
  I
• 2:22
  have
• 2:23
  to.
• 2:23
  If
• 2:24
  I
• 2:24
  can't
• 2:24
  watch
• 2:24
  something
• 2:25
  that.
• 2:25
  To
• 2:25
  really
• 2:25
  pay
• 2:26
  attention
• 2:26
  to
• 2:26
  and
• 2:27
  expect
• 2:27
  to
• 2:28
  get
• 2:28
  anything
• 2:28
  out
• 2:28
  of
• 2:29
  it.
• 2:29
  So
• 2:29
  I
• 2:29
  have
• 2:29
  to
• 2:29
  be
• 2:30
  careful
• 2:30
  when
• 2:30
  I'm
• 2:30
  watching.
• 2:31
  Yeah,
• 2:32
  yeah.
• 2:32
  So.
• 2:33
  But
• 2:33
  knitting
• 2:33
  I
• 2:34
  can.
• 2:34
  Yeah,
• 2:34
  yeah.
• 2:35
  I
• 2:35
  took
• 2:35
  a
• 2:36
  knitting
• 2:36
  class
• 2:37
  years
• 2:37
  ago.
• 2:38
  Which
• 2:38
  is
• 2:38
  what
• 2:39
  prompted
• 2:39
  you
• 2:39
  to
• 2:40
  get
• 2:40
  back
• 2:40
  into
• 2:40
  knitting,
• 2:41
  I
• 2:41
  believe.
• 2:42
  I
• 2:42
  think
• 2:43
  so.
• 2:43
  Yeah.
• 2:43
  Back
• 2:43
  in
• 2:43
  like
• 2:44
  2005.
• 2:45
  Yeah.
• 2:46
  And
• 2:46
  my
• 2:47
  teacher
• 2:48
  said
• 2:49
  that
• 2:49
  she
• 2:50
  knit.
• 2:51
  Knitted
• 2:51
  at
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  movies.
• 2:53
  Oh,
• 2:53
  did
• 2:53
  she
• 2:54
  bring.
• 2:54
  People
• 2:55
  will
• 2:55
  take
• 2:55
  little
• 2:56
  headlights
• 2:56
  to
• 2:56
  do
• 2:56
  that.
• 2:57
  Or
• 2:57
  there's
• 2:57
  lit.
• 2:57
  Lit
• 2:58
  knitting
• 2:58
  needles
• 2:58
  now
• 2:59
  they're
• 2:59
  light.
• 3:00
  No,
• 3:00
  she
• 3:00
  didn't
• 3:01
  need
• 3:01
  them.
• 3:01
  Cuz
• 3:02
  she
• 3:02
  could
• 3:02
  watch
• 3:03
  a
• 3:03
  movie
• 3:03
  and
• 3:03
  just
• 3:04
  knit.
• 3:04
  Yeah,
• 3:05
  yeah.
• 3:05
  And
• 3:06
  I
• 3:07
  mean
• 3:08
  I
• 3:08
  thought
• 3:08
  that
• 3:08
  was
• 3:09
  an
• 3:09
  amazing
• 3:10
  skill.
• 3:10
  But
• 3:11
  also
• 3:12
  I
• 3:12
  don't
• 3:12
  want
• 3:12
  to
• 3:13
  listen
• 3:13
  to
• 3:13
  click,
• 3:13
  click,
• 3:14
  click.
• 3:17
  Well,
• 3:18
  I
• 3:18
  feel
• 3:18
  like
• 3:19
  it's
• 3:19
  not
• 3:20
  always.
• 3:20
  Maybe
• 3:21
  it
• 3:21
  depends
• 3:21
  on
• 3:21
  the
• 3:21
  needles,
• 3:22
  but
• 3:22
  I
• 3:22
  don't
• 3:22
  feel
• 3:23
  like
• 3:23
  I'm
• 3:23
  a
• 3:23
  noisy
• 3:24
  knitter.
• 3:24
  I
• 3:25
  wouldn't
• 3:25
  take
• 3:25
  my
• 3:25
  knitting
• 3:26
  to
• 3:26
  the
• 3:26
  theater,
• 3:26
  though.
• 3:27
  But
• 3:27
  yes,
• 3:28
  multitasking
• 3:29
  is
• 3:29
  hard
• 3:29
  to
• 3:29
  avoid.
• 3:30
  So
• 3:30
  I
• 3:30
  can't
• 3:30
  promise
• 3:30
  I
• 3:30
  won't
• 3:31
  be
• 3:31
  doing
• 3:31
  any.
• 3:33
  Yeah.
• 3:33
  Like
• 3:33
  we
• 3:33
  were
• 3:33
  saying,
• 3:34
  that
• 3:35
  is
• 3:35
  one
• 3:36
  of
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  situations
• 3:37
  where
• 3:37
  it
• 3:37
  can
• 3:38
  work.
• 3:39
  I
• 3:39
  think
• 3:39
  another
• 3:40
  one
• 3:41
  is
• 3:41
  when
• 3:42
  you're
• 3:43
  doing
• 3:46
  like
• 3:47
  a
• 3:47
  physical
• 3:47
  thing
• 3:48
  and
• 3:48
  listening
• 3:49
  to
• 3:49
  something
• 3:50
  like
• 3:50
  folding
• 3:51
  laundry,
• 3:52
  exercising.
• 3:53
  Exactly
• 3:53
  what
• 3:53
  I
• 3:53
  was
• 3:53
  gonna
• 3:54
  say.
• 3:54
  Those
• 3:54
  two
• 3:55
  things.
• 3:55
  Yeah.
• 3:56
  I
• 3:56
  can
• 3:56
  keep
• 3:56
  my
• 3:56
  book
• 3:56
  going
• 3:57
  and
• 3:57
  know
• 3:57
  what's
• 3:57
  happening
• 3:57
  while
• 3:58
  I
• 3:58
  fold
• 3:58
  laundry
• 3:58
  or
• 4:00
  exercise.
• 4:01
  Right.
• 4:01
  And.
• 4:02
  And
• 4:02
  I
• 4:02
  find
• 4:02
  that
• 4:03
  that
• 4:03
  actually
• 4:04
  sort
• 4:04
  of
• 4:04
  helps
• 4:05
  me
• 4:05
  pay
• 4:05
  attention
• 4:06
  better
• 4:06
  if
• 4:06
  I'm
• 4:07
  doing
• 4:07
  something
• 4:07
  physically.
• 4:08
  Like
• 4:09
  I
• 4:09
  don't
• 4:09
  sit
• 4:09
  and
• 4:10
  listen
• 4:10
  to
• 4:11
  a
• 4:11
  book.
• 4:11
  I
• 4:12
  listen
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  my
• 4:14
  audiobooks
• 4:15
  when
• 4:15
  I'm
• 4:15
  doing
• 4:16
  other
• 4:16
  things
• 4:17
  that
• 4:17
  don't
• 4:18
  require
• 4:18
  me
• 4:19
  to
• 4:19
  think.
• 4:20
  Right.
• 4:20
  Emptying
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  dishwasher,
• 4:22
  brushing
• 4:22
  your
• 4:22
  teeth,
• 4:24
  that
• 4:24
  sort
• 4:25
  of
• 4:25
  thing.
• 4:25
  I
• 4:25
  now
• 4:25
  listen
• 4:26
  rather
• 4:26
  than
• 4:26
  read
• 4:27
  with
• 4:27
  my
• 4:27
  eyes
• 4:28
  while
• 4:28
  I
• 4:28
  brush
• 4:28
  my
• 4:28
  teeth.
• 4:29
  While
• 4:29
  those
• 4:29
  are
• 4:30
  the
• 4:30
  few
• 4:30
  situations
• 4:31
  where
• 4:32
  I
• 4:32
  think
• 4:33
  true
• 4:33
  multitasking
• 4:34
  can
• 4:34
  work.
• 4:35
  Most
• 4:36
  of
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  time
• 4:37
  when
• 4:37
  we're
• 4:38
  talking
• 4:38
  about
• 4:38
  multitasking,
• 4:39
  we
• 4:40
  are
• 4:40
  doing
• 4:40
  that
• 4:40
  rapid
• 4:41
  switching,
• 4:43
  and
• 4:44
  it's
• 4:45
  usually
• 4:47
  not
• 4:47
  very
• 4:48
  efficient.
• 4:49
  I
• 4:49
  think
• 4:49
  you're
• 4:49
  less
• 4:50
  productive
• 4:50
  trying
• 4:51
  to
• 4:51
  do
• 4:51
  that
• 4:52
  than
• 4:53
  if
• 4:53
  you're
• 4:54
  really
• 4:55
  monotasking
• 4:55
  or
• 4:56
  single
• 4:56
  tasking.
• 4:57
  Right.
• 4:57
  Less
• 4:58
  productive.
• 4:58
  Less
• 5:00
  effective,
• 5:01
  potentially.
• 5:02
  Because
• 5:02
  I
• 5:02
  think
• 5:03
  not
• 5:04
  only
• 5:04
  less
• 5:04
  efficient,
• 5:04
  but
• 5:05
  less
• 5:05
  effective.
• 5:06
  What
• 5:06
  are
• 5:06
  some
• 5:06
  of
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  things
• 5:07
  that
• 5:07
  people
• 5:08
  commonly
• 5:08
  multitask
• 5:09
  on,
• 5:09
  would
• 5:10
  you
• 5:10
  say?
• 5:10
  Just
• 5:10
  wanna
• 5:11
  make
• 5:11
  sure
• 5:11
  we're
• 5:11
  talking
• 5:12
  about
• 5:12
  the
• 5:12
  same
• 5:12
  thing.
• 5:14
  I
• 5:14
  think
• 5:14
  when
• 5:15
  people
• 5:15
  say
• 5:15
  that
• 5:16
  they're
• 5:16
  multitasking,
• 5:18
  they're
• 5:19
  having
• 5:19
  a
• 5:19
  conversation
• 5:20
  with
• 5:21
  someone
• 5:22
  and
• 5:23
  processing
• 5:24
  email
• 5:25
  or.
• 5:27
  I'm
• 5:28
  trying
• 5:28
  to
• 5:28
  think
• 5:28
  of
• 5:28
  other
• 5:29
  situations
• 5:29
  where
• 5:29
  someone
• 5:30
  might
• 5:30
  say
• 5:30
  that
• 5:30
  they're
• 5:31
  multitasking.
• 5:33
  I
• 5:33
  feel
• 5:33
  like
• 5:33
  it's
• 5:33
  something
• 5:34
  that
• 5:34
  people
• 5:34
  say
• 5:34
  a
• 5:35
  lot,
• 5:37
  but
• 5:37
  because
• 5:38
  I'm
• 5:39
  so
• 5:39
  aligned
• 5:39
  now
• 5:40
  with
• 5:41
  that,
• 5:41
  there's.
• 5:42
  There's
• 5:42
  very
• 5:43
  little
• 5:43
  true
• 5:43
  multitasking.
• 5:44
  I
• 5:44
  can't
• 5:44
  even
• 5:45
  think
• 5:45
  of
• 5:45
  what
• 5:45
  it
• 5:45
  is.
• 5:47
  Yeah,
• 5:47
  I
• 5:48
  mean,
• 5:48
  I
• 5:48
  feel
• 5:48
  like
• 5:49
  when
• 5:50
  we're
• 5:50
  organizing,
• 5:51
  when
• 5:51
  my
• 5:52
  organizers
• 5:52
  are
• 5:52
  on
• 5:52
  the
• 5:53
  job,
• 5:54
  we're
• 5:54
  often
• 5:54
  start
• 5:55
  out
• 5:55
  by
• 5:55
  sorting.
• 5:55
  And
• 5:56
  I
• 5:56
  think
• 5:56
  if
• 5:57
  we
• 5:58
  are
• 5:58
  chatting
• 5:59
  at
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  same
• 5:59
  time,
• 5:59
  which
• 6:00
  I
• 6:00
  don't
• 6:00
  think
• 6:00
  we
• 6:00
  are.
• 6:01
  I
• 6:01
  don't.
• 6:01
  We
• 6:02
  don't.
• 6:02
  I
• 6:02
  don't
• 6:02
  think
• 6:03
  we
• 6:03
  do
• 6:03
  that.
• 6:03
  Not
• 6:03
  on
• 6:03
  the
• 6:03
  job
• 6:04
  much
• 6:04
  anymore,
• 6:04
  but
• 6:04
  I
• 6:05
  don't
• 6:05
  think
• 6:05
  that
• 6:05
  happens.
• 6:06
  But
• 6:06
  if
• 6:06
  you're
• 6:06
  chatting,
• 6:08
  you're
• 6:08
  either
• 6:08
  not
• 6:09
  paying
• 6:09
  attention
• 6:09
  to
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  conversation
• 6:10
  or
• 6:10
  you're
• 6:10
  not
• 6:11
  paying
• 6:11
  attention
• 6:11
  to
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  sorting.
• 6:12
  It's
• 6:12
  because
• 6:13
  it
• 6:13
  requires.
• 6:14
  Unlike
• 6:14
  folding
• 6:14
  laundry,
• 6:15
  sorting
• 6:16
  requires
• 6:16
  brain
• 6:17
  power.
• 6:17
  Right,
• 6:17
  Right.
• 6:17
  So
• 6:18
  maybe
• 6:18
  that's
• 6:19
  where.
• 6:19
  If
• 6:19
  you're
• 6:20
  doing
• 6:20
  two
• 6:20
  things
• 6:20
  that
• 6:20
  require
• 6:21
  attention,
• 6:22
  you
• 6:23
  can't
• 6:23
  pay
• 6:23
  attention
• 6:24
  to
• 6:24
  two
• 6:24
  things
• 6:25
  at
• 6:25
  once,
• 6:25
  really.
• 6:26
  Right.
• 6:26
  It
• 6:27
  seems
• 6:27
  simple
• 6:28
  when
• 6:28
  I
• 6:28
  think
• 6:28
  of
• 6:28
  it
• 6:29
  that
• 6:29
  way,
• 6:31
  but,
• 6:32
  I
• 6:33
  mean,
• 6:33
  I
• 6:33
  don't
• 6:33
  know
• 6:33
  how
• 6:34
  many
• 6:34
  conversations
• 6:34
  I've
• 6:34
  had
• 6:35
  with
• 6:35
  my
• 6:35
  husband
• 6:35
  while
• 6:36
  I'm
• 6:36
  looking
• 6:36
  at
• 6:36
  my
• 6:36
  phone,
• 6:38
  you
• 6:38
  know?
• 6:38
  Yeah.
• 6:39
  Screw
• 6:39
  you.
• 6:40
  It's
• 6:40
  not
• 6:40
  cool
• 6:42
  and
• 6:42
  not
• 6:42
  effective
• 6:43
  and
• 6:43
  not
• 6:43
  efficient.
• 6:44
  Right,
• 6:44
  Right.
• 6:45
  Yeah,
• 6:45
  I.
• 6:46
  I
• 6:46
  do
• 6:47
  that
• 6:47
  too.
• 6:47
  And
• 6:48
  I
• 6:48
  have
• 6:48
  made
• 6:49
  a
• 6:49
  concerted
• 6:49
  effort
• 6:50
  to
• 6:50
  not
• 6:50
  do
• 6:50
  that.
• 6:52
  And
• 6:53
  you
• 6:53
  catch
• 6:53
  yourself.
• 6:56
  And
• 6:56
  I
• 6:56
  try
• 6:57
  not
• 6:57
  to.
• 6:58
  When
• 6:58
  I'm
• 6:59
  chatting
• 6:59
  with
• 7:00
  people,
• 7:00
  I
• 7:00
  have
• 7:01
  my
• 7:01
  phone
• 7:02
  at
• 7:02
  least
• 7:03
  face
• 7:03
  down.
• 7:04
  Yeah.
• 7:05
  So
• 7:05
  I'm
• 7:05
  not
• 7:06
  tempted
• 7:06
  to
• 7:07
  look
• 7:07
  at
• 7:07
  it
• 7:07
  while
• 7:08
  I'm
• 7:08
  having
• 7:08
  a
• 7:08
  conversation.
• 7:10
  And
• 7:13
  I
• 7:13
  try
• 7:14
  to
• 7:14
  not
• 7:15
  talk
• 7:15
  to
• 7:15
  someone
• 7:16
  when
• 7:16
  they
• 7:16
  are
• 7:16
  on
• 7:16
  their
• 7:17
  phone
• 7:17
  or
• 7:18
  act
• 7:18
  as
• 7:18
  if
• 7:19
  they're
• 7:19
  in
• 7:19
  the
• 7:19
  middle
• 7:20
  of
• 7:20
  something
• 7:20
  and,
• 7:23
  you
• 7:23
  know,
• 7:23
  ask
• 7:23
  if
• 7:24
  I
• 7:24
  can
• 7:24
  interrupt
• 7:25
  them
• 7:25
  for
• 7:25
  a
• 7:25
  moment.
• 7:26
  But
• 7:26
  you
• 7:26
  don't
• 7:26
  assume
• 7:27
  they're
• 7:27
  gonna
• 7:28
  be
• 7:28
  able
• 7:28
  to
• 7:28
  turn
• 7:29
  their
• 7:29
  attention
• 7:29
  to
• 7:30
  you?
• 7:31
  Yeah,
• 7:31
  I
• 7:32
  do
• 7:32
  that
• 7:32
  because
• 7:33
  I
• 7:33
  think
• 7:33
  we're
• 7:33
  just
• 7:34
  so
• 7:34
  used
• 7:34
  to
• 7:36
  doing
• 7:37
  things
• 7:37
  with
• 7:38
  people
• 7:38
  looking
• 7:39
  at
• 7:39
  their
• 7:39
  phones,
• 7:40
  and
• 7:40
  I'm
• 7:40
  trying
• 7:41
  to
• 7:41
  not
• 7:41
  do
• 7:42
  that.
• 7:42
  So
• 7:42
  I'm
• 7:43
  kind.
• 7:43
  I'm
• 7:43
  trying
• 7:44
  to
• 7:44
  kind
• 7:44
  of
• 7:44
  cue
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  other
• 7:45
  person
• 7:46
  that
• 7:46
  I
• 7:47
  recognize.
• 7:47
  You're
• 7:47
  doing
• 7:47
  something
• 7:48
  on
• 7:48
  your
• 7:48
  phone.
• 7:49
  Are
• 7:49
  you
• 7:50
  able
• 7:50
  to
• 7:50
  stop
• 7:50
  what
• 7:50
  you're
• 7:51
  doing
• 7:51
  so
• 7:52
  we
• 7:53
  can
• 7:53
  have
• 7:53
  a
• 7:53
  conversation
• 7:54
  or
• 7:54
  I
• 7:54
  can
• 7:54
  ask
• 7:54
  you
• 7:55
  a
• 7:55
  question
• 7:55
  or
• 7:55
  something?
• 7:56
  Yeah.
• 7:57
  That's
• 7:57
  polite.
• 7:57
  And
• 7:58
  it's
• 7:58
  like
• 7:58
  being
• 7:59
  a
• 7:59
  good
• 8:00
  conversational
• 8:00
  partner.
• 8:01
  Right.
• 8:02
  I
• 8:02
  mean,
• 8:02
  Yeah.
• 8:02
  I
• 8:03
  walk
• 8:03
  up
• 8:03
  on
• 8:03
  Barry
• 8:04
  on
• 8:04
  his.
• 8:04
  He's
• 8:05
  on
• 8:05
  his
• 8:05
  computer
• 8:05
  all
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  time
• 8:06
  with
• 8:06
  his
• 8:06
  back
• 8:06
  to
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  door,
• 8:07
  and
• 8:08
  I'll
• 8:08
  walk
• 8:08
  into
• 8:08
  the
• 8:09
  room
• 8:09
  and
• 8:09
  expect
• 8:10
  him
• 8:10
  to
• 8:10
  stop
• 8:10
  what
• 8:10
  he's
• 8:11
  doing
• 8:11
  and
• 8:11
  turn
• 8:11
  around
• 8:11
  and
• 8:12
  talk
• 8:12
  to
• 8:12
  me.
• 8:14
  I'm
• 8:15
  usually
• 8:15
  silent,
• 8:17
  wait
• 8:17
  for
• 8:18
  him
• 8:18
  to
• 8:18
  stop,
• 8:19
  but
• 8:19
  I
• 8:19
  expect
• 8:20
  him
• 8:20
  to
• 8:20
  stop.
• 8:20
  Which,
• 8:21
  now
• 8:22
  that
• 8:22
  I'm
• 8:22
  thinking,
• 8:23
  now
• 8:23
  we're
• 8:23
  having
• 8:23
  this
• 8:23
  conversation,
• 8:25
  is
• 8:25
  pretty
• 8:25
  rude.
• 8:26
  I
• 8:26
  need
• 8:26
  to
• 8:26
  ask
• 8:26
  him
• 8:27
  what
• 8:27
  would
• 8:27
  be
• 8:27
  more
• 8:27
  polite,
• 8:28
  because
• 8:28
  he's
• 8:28
  pretty
• 8:28
  nice
• 8:28
  about
• 8:28
  it.
• 8:30
  I
• 8:30
  mean,
• 8:30
  I
• 8:30
  will
• 8:30
  say
• 8:30
  he
• 8:31
  does
• 8:31
  stop.
• 8:33
  He's
• 8:33
  a
• 8:33
  retiree.
• 8:34
  Right.
• 8:34
  So
• 8:34
  it's
• 8:34
  not
• 8:34
  like
• 8:35
  I'm
• 8:35
  interrupting
• 8:36
  his
• 8:36
  work,
• 8:37
  but
• 8:38
  still
• 8:38
  I'm
• 8:38
  interrupting
• 8:39
  whatever
• 8:39
  he's
• 8:39
  doing
• 8:39
  to
• 8:40
  enjoy.
• 8:40
  To
• 8:41
  enjoy
• 8:41
  his
• 8:42
  day.
• 8:43
  Right?
• 8:44
  Yeah.
• 8:45
  Yeah.
• 8:46
  But
• 8:47
  I
• 8:47
  will
• 8:47
  say
• 8:47
  he
• 8:47
  does
• 8:47
  typically
• 8:48
  stop
• 8:48
  and
• 8:48
  not
• 8:49
  just
• 8:49
  keep
• 8:49
  doing
• 8:50
  the
• 8:50
  puzzle,
• 8:51
  for
• 8:51
  example,
• 8:53
  and
• 8:54
  talk
• 8:55
  to
• 8:55
  me
• 8:55
  until
• 8:55
  I
• 8:56
  leave.
• 8:56
  And
• 8:57
  it's
• 8:57
  clear
• 8:58
  that
• 8:58
  I
• 8:58
  should
• 8:58
  leave
• 8:59
  as
• 8:59
  soon
• 8:59
  as
• 8:59
  possible
• 9:03
  so
• 9:03
  you
• 9:03
  can
• 9:03
  get
• 9:04
  back
• 9:04
  on.
• 9:05
  You're
• 9:05
  such
• 9:05
  a
• 9:06
  good
• 9:06
  reader
• 9:06
  of
• 9:07
  body
• 9:07
  language.
• 9:08
  I
• 9:08
  don't
• 9:09
  know
• 9:09
  about
• 9:09
  that.
• 9:11
  Yeah,
• 9:12
  interesting.
• 9:13
  So
• 9:13
  I
• 9:14
  find
• 9:14
  when
• 9:14
  I'm
• 9:16
  working
• 9:16
  at
• 9:16
  my
• 9:17
  desk,
• 9:18
  I
• 9:19
  will
• 9:19
  be
• 9:20
  doing
• 9:20
  something
• 9:20
  that
• 9:20
  requires
• 9:21
  me
• 9:21
  to
• 9:21
  go
• 9:23
  switch.
• 9:23
  Like
• 9:23
  I'm
• 9:24
  at.
• 9:24
  Let's
• 9:24
  say
• 9:24
  I'm
• 9:25
  in
• 9:25
  a
• 9:27
  Pages
• 9:27
  document
• 9:27
  and
• 9:28
  I
• 9:28
  gotta
• 9:28
  go
• 9:28
  check
• 9:28
  something
• 9:29
  in
• 9:29
  my
• 9:29
  email.
• 9:29
  And
• 9:29
  then
• 9:30
  I
• 9:30
  get
• 9:30
  totally
• 9:31
  caught
• 9:31
  up
• 9:31
  with
• 9:31
  what
• 9:32
  else
• 9:32
  is
• 9:32
  in
• 9:32
  the
• 9:32
  email.
• 9:34
  And
• 9:34
  then
• 9:34
  I'm
• 9:34
  like,
• 9:34
  wait,
• 9:35
  what
• 9:35
  was
• 9:35
  I
• 9:35
  doing?
• 9:36
  And
• 9:36
  then
• 9:36
  I
• 9:36
  go
• 9:37
  back.
• 9:37
  Back
• 9:37
  to
• 9:37
  the
• 9:37
  pages.
• 9:38
  Yeah,
• 9:39
  it
• 9:39
  will.
• 9:39
  That
• 9:40
  cycle
• 9:40
  will
• 9:40
  repeat.
• 9:41
  Or
• 9:41
  I'll
• 9:41
  go
• 9:41
  to
• 9:42
  the
• 9:43
  browser
• 9:44
  and
• 9:44
  Facebook
• 9:45
  will
• 9:45
  be
• 9:45
  there
• 9:46
  and
• 9:46
  that's
• 9:46
  it.
• 9:47
  Like,
• 9:47
  oh,
• 9:48
  I
• 9:49
  can't.
• 9:49
  It's.
• 9:50
  So
• 9:50
  I'm
• 9:51
  completely
• 9:51
  distractible,
• 9:54
  which
• 9:54
  is
• 9:55
  different,
• 9:55
  I
• 9:55
  know,
• 9:55
  from
• 9:55
  multitasking.
• 9:56
  But
• 9:56
  I
• 9:56
  know
• 9:56
  that
• 9:57
  sometimes
• 9:58
  I
• 9:58
  know
• 9:58
  what
• 9:58
  it
• 9:58
  is.
• 9:59
  I'll
• 9:59
  like,
• 9:59
  try
• 9:59
  to
• 10:00
  log
• 10:00
  into
• 10:00
  my
• 10:01
  bank
• 10:01
  and
• 10:01
  it
• 10:02
  will
• 10:02
  take
• 10:02
  a
• 10:03
  10
• 10:03
  seconds.
• 10:04
  So
• 10:04
  then
• 10:04
  I
• 10:04
  move
• 10:05
  away
• 10:05
  from
• 10:05
  it
• 10:05
  because
• 10:05
  I'm
• 10:06
  not
• 10:06
  going
• 10:06
  to
• 10:06
  sit
• 10:06
  there
• 10:06
  for
• 10:06
  10
• 10:07
  seconds
• 10:08
  and
• 10:09
  look
• 10:09
  at
• 10:09
  something
• 10:10
  else.
• 10:11
  I
• 10:11
  can't.
• 10:12
  It's
• 10:12
  almost
• 10:13
  in
• 10:13
  my
• 10:13
  muscle
• 10:13
  memory
• 10:14
  to
• 10:14
  go
• 10:15
  away
• 10:15
  from
• 10:16
  the
• 10:16
  screen
• 10:16
  I'm
• 10:16
  on
• 10:17
  if
• 10:17
  there's
• 10:18
  a
• 10:18
  wait
• 10:19
  and
• 10:19
  then.
• 10:20
  Right,
• 10:22
  well.
• 10:22
  And
• 10:22
  I
• 10:22
  think
• 10:23
  that
• 10:23
  is
• 10:23
  like
• 10:24
  an
• 10:24
  attempt
• 10:25
  to
• 10:25
  multitask
• 10:27
  because
• 10:28
  you're
• 10:29
  trying
• 10:29
  to
• 10:29
  do
• 10:29
  this
• 10:30
  thing
• 10:30
  and
• 10:31
  it
• 10:31
  has
• 10:31
  a
• 10:31
  little
• 10:31
  bit
• 10:32
  of
• 10:32
  a
• 10:32
  lag.
• 10:32
  So
• 10:32
  you're
• 10:33
  doing
• 10:33
  this
• 10:33
  thing
• 10:33
  at
• 10:33
  the
• 10:34
  same
• 10:34
  time.
• 10:35
  And
• 10:36
  then,
• 10:36
  you
• 10:37
  know,
• 10:37
  the
• 10:37
  hope
• 10:37
  would
• 10:37
  be
• 10:38
  that
• 10:38
  you
• 10:38
  would
• 10:38
  go
• 10:38
  back
• 10:38
  to
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  original
• 10:39
  thing.
• 10:40
  Right.
• 10:42
  So
• 10:42
  back
• 10:42
  to
• 10:42
  your
• 10:43
  bank
• 10:43
  login.
• 10:44
  But
• 10:44
  you're
• 10:45
  probably
• 10:46
  sucked
• 10:46
  into
• 10:47
  whatever
• 10:47
  the
• 10:47
  other
• 10:47
  thing
• 10:48
  is
• 10:48
  that
• 10:48
  you
• 10:48
  looked
• 10:48
  at.
• 10:49
  Yeah.
• 10:49
  By
• 10:50
  the
• 10:50
  time
• 10:50
  you
• 10:50
  get
• 10:50
  back
• 10:50
  to
• 10:50
  the
• 10:50
  bank
• 10:51
  login,
• 10:51
  I've
• 10:51
  been
• 10:52
  locked
• 10:52
  out.
• 10:53
  Right.
• 10:54
  You're
• 10:54
  in
• 10:54
  timed
• 10:55
  out.
• 10:57
  So,
• 10:58
  yeah,
• 10:58
  it's
• 10:58
  a
• 10:58
  problem.
• 10:59
  And
• 10:59
  I.
• 10:59
  And.
• 11:00
  And
• 11:00
  I'm
• 11:00
  wondering
• 11:01
  what
• 11:01
  the
• 11:01
  answer
• 11:02
  is.
• 11:02
  I
• 11:02
  mean,
• 11:02
  mindfulness
• 11:03
  is
• 11:03
  what
• 11:03
  pops
• 11:04
  to
• 11:04
  my
• 11:04
  mind.
• 11:04
  Awareness
• 11:05
  is
• 11:05
  a
• 11:05
  first.
• 11:06
  Good
• 11:07
  first
• 11:07
  step.
• 11:08
  Right.
• 11:08
  Well,
• 11:08
  I
• 11:09
  think
• 11:09
  recognizing
• 11:10
  that
• 11:11
  there
• 11:11
  are
• 11:11
  so
• 11:11
  many
• 11:12
  things
• 11:12
  pulling
• 11:12
  at
• 11:13
  our
• 11:13
  attention
• 11:14
  all
• 11:14
  the
• 11:14
  time
• 11:15
  and
• 11:16
  that
• 11:17
  we're
• 11:18
  used
• 11:19
  to
• 11:19
  having
• 11:19
  this
• 11:20
  stimulation.
• 11:22
  And
• 11:23
  so,
• 11:23
  you
• 11:24
  know,
• 11:24
  sitting
• 11:24
  there
• 11:26
  while
• 11:26
  you're
• 11:28
  logging
• 11:29
  in
• 11:30
  feels
• 11:30
  uncomfortable,
• 11:32
  but
• 11:33
  sort
• 11:33
  of
• 11:34
  allowing
• 11:35
  yourself
• 11:36
  to
• 11:36
  be
• 11:37
  uncomfortable
• 11:38
  for
• 11:38
  those
• 11:39
  seconds
• 11:40
  so
• 11:40
  that
• 11:40
  you
• 11:40
  can
• 11:41
  finish
• 11:41
  the
• 11:41
  task
• 11:42
  at
• 11:42
  hand
• 11:42
  would
• 11:43
  be
• 11:43
  one
• 11:43
  strategy
• 11:44
  to
• 11:44
  try.
• 11:46
  Yeah,
• 11:46
  that's
• 11:47
  a
• 11:47
  good
• 11:47
  one.
• 11:47
  Also
• 11:48
  feel
• 11:48
  like
• 11:48
  maybe
• 11:48
  I
• 11:48
  need
• 11:49
  to
• 11:49
  start
• 11:49
  meditating
• 11:50
  or
• 11:50
  something
• 11:50
  because
• 11:50
  my.
• 11:51
  Because
• 11:51
  I'm
• 11:53
  not
• 11:55
  being
• 11:55
  willing
• 11:55
  to
• 11:56
  sit
• 11:57
  still
• 11:57
  or
• 11:58
  have
• 11:58
  my
• 11:58
  mind
• 11:58
  sit
• 11:58
  still.
• 11:59
  Yeah.
• 11:59
  Right.
• 12:01
  Right.
• 12:02
  Well.
• 12:02
  And
• 12:03
  that
• 12:03
  could
• 12:03
  be
• 12:04
  both.
• 12:08
  Distractibility,
• 12:09
  like
• 12:09
  being
• 12:10
  easily
• 12:10
  distracted.
• 12:12
  By
• 12:12
  things,
• 12:13
  which,
• 12:13
  I
• 12:13
  mean,
• 12:13
  that's
• 12:14
  not
• 12:14
  anything
• 12:14
  on
• 12:14
  you.
• 12:15
  That's
• 12:15
  sort
• 12:15
  of
• 12:16
  how
• 12:17
  our
• 12:17
  lives
• 12:17
  are
• 12:17
  now.
• 12:18
  But
• 12:19
  it
• 12:19
  is
• 12:20
  also
• 12:20
  possibly
• 12:22
  wanting
• 12:23
  to
• 12:24
  be
• 12:24
  distracted,
• 12:25
  albeit
• 12:27
  subconsciously.
• 12:28
  So
• 12:29
  you're
• 12:29
  not
• 12:30
  thinking
• 12:30
  about
• 12:30
  things
• 12:31
  that
• 12:31
  you
• 12:31
  don't
• 12:31
  want
• 12:32
  to
• 12:32
  think
• 12:32
  about.
• 12:32
  You're
• 12:32
  not
• 12:32
  worrying
• 12:33
  about
• 12:33
  stuff.
• 12:34
  You're
• 12:34
  not
• 12:34
  perseverating
• 12:35
  on
• 12:35
  something
• 12:36
  that
• 12:36
  you're
• 12:36
  sort
• 12:37
  of
• 12:37
  keeping
• 12:37
  your
• 12:37
  brain
• 12:38
  engaged
• 12:39
  with
• 12:40
  other
• 12:40
  stuff
• 12:41
  so
• 12:42
  it
• 12:42
  doesn't
• 12:43
  go
• 12:43
  where
• 12:43
  you
• 12:43
  don't
• 12:44
  want
• 12:44
  it
• 12:44
  to.
• 12:45
  Yeah,
• 12:45
  I
• 12:45
  mean,
• 12:46
  that's
• 12:46
  a
• 12:46
  little
• 12:46
  bit
• 12:46
  in
• 12:47
  keeping
• 12:47
  with
• 12:48
  what
• 12:48
  we
• 12:48
  talked
• 12:48
  about
• 12:48
  last
• 12:49
  week
• 12:49
  with
• 12:51
  protecting
• 12:51
  ourselves
• 12:52
  around
• 12:52
  all
• 12:53
  the
• 12:53
  craziness
• 12:54
  in
• 12:54
  the
• 12:54
  world.
• 12:55
  Interesting,
• 12:57
  interesting.
• 12:57
  So
• 12:58
  in
• 12:58
  either
• 12:58
  case,
• 12:59
  meditation
• 12:59
  would
• 12:59
  be
• 12:59
  helpful.
• 13:01
  Meditation
• 13:01
  would
• 13:01
  be
• 13:01
  helpful
• 13:02
  because
• 13:02
  you.
• 13:02
  Because
• 13:02
  you
• 13:03
  get
• 13:03
  sort
• 13:03
  of
• 13:04
  two
• 13:05
  benefits.
• 13:06
  You
• 13:06
  get
• 13:06
  the
• 13:07
  time
• 13:07
  while
• 13:07
  you're
• 13:08
  meditating
• 13:09
  of
• 13:10
  calming
• 13:11
  down
• 13:11
  your
• 13:11
  nervous
• 13:11
  system.
• 13:13
  And
• 13:14
  meditation
• 13:15
  isn't
• 13:15
  about
• 13:17
  not
• 13:17
  having
• 13:18
  thoughts
• 13:18
  or,
• 13:18
  you
• 13:19
  know,
• 13:19
  not
• 13:19
  thinking
• 13:19
  about
• 13:20
  stuff.
• 13:20
  It's
• 13:20
  about
• 13:22
  returning
• 13:22
  to
• 13:22
  whatever
• 13:23
  it
• 13:23
  is
• 13:23
  that
• 13:23
  you're
• 13:23
  focusing
• 13:24
  on.
• 13:24
  You
• 13:24
  know,
• 13:25
  sort
• 13:25
  of
• 13:25
  letting
• 13:25
  the
• 13:25
  thoughts
• 13:26
  go
• 13:26
  through
• 13:26
  your
• 13:26
  head
• 13:27
  and
• 13:27
  not
• 13:27
  attaching
• 13:28
  to
• 13:28
  them.
• 13:28
  And
• 13:29
  so
• 13:29
  you
• 13:29
  get
• 13:30
  that.
• 13:30
  That
• 13:30
  sense
• 13:30
  of
• 13:31
  peace
• 13:31
  in
• 13:31
  the
• 13:31
  moment
• 13:32
  or
• 13:32
  sense
• 13:32
  of
• 13:32
  calm.
• 13:33
  But
• 13:34
  then
• 13:34
  you
• 13:34
  also
• 13:35
  are
• 13:36
  exercising
• 13:37
  that
• 13:37
  muscle
• 13:38
  that
• 13:39
  increases
• 13:40
  your
• 13:41
  ability
• 13:42
  to
• 13:43
  be
• 13:43
  quiet,
• 13:44
  to
• 13:45
  have
• 13:46
  moments
• 13:46
  with
• 13:47
  nothing
• 13:47
  in
• 13:47
  them.
• 13:48
  I
• 13:48
  mean,
• 13:48
  it
• 13:48
  would
• 13:48
  be
• 13:49
  an
• 13:49
  interesting
• 13:50
  experiment
• 13:51
  to
• 13:52
  like
• 13:52
  when
• 13:52
  you
• 13:53
  log
• 13:53
  into
• 13:53
  something
• 13:54
  that's
• 13:54
  a
• 13:54
  cue
• 13:55
  to
• 13:56
  meditate
• 13:56
  until
• 13:57
  the
• 13:57
  page
• 13:57
  comes
• 13:57
  up,
• 13:58
  you
• 13:58
  know,
• 13:58
  and
• 13:59
  it
• 13:59
  could
• 13:59
  be
• 13:59
  as
• 13:59
  simple
• 13:59
  as
• 14:00
  count
• 14:00
  your
• 14:00
  breaths
• 14:01
  or
• 14:01
  whatever.
• 14:02
  It
• 14:02
  doesn't
• 14:02
  have
• 14:02
  to
• 14:03
  be
• 14:04
  a
• 14:04
  whole
• 14:05
  thing.
• 14:06
  Right,
• 14:08
  right.
• 14:08
  And
• 14:08
  I
• 14:08
  like
• 14:09
  that
• 14:09
  idea.
• 14:09
  And
• 14:10
  I
• 14:10
  also
• 14:10
  like
• 14:10
  the
• 14:11
  idea
• 14:11
  I
• 14:11
  was
• 14:12
  of
• 14:12
  just
• 14:12
  maybe
• 14:13
  trying
• 14:13
  to
• 14:13
  integrate,
• 14:14
  I
• 14:14
  don't
• 14:14
  know
• 14:14
  at
• 14:15
  what
• 14:15
  point
• 14:15
  in
• 14:15
  my
• 14:15
  day
• 14:16
  beginning
• 14:16
  probably
• 14:18
  gradually
• 14:18
  increasing
• 14:18
  amount
• 14:19
  of
• 14:19
  time
• 14:19
  where
• 14:19
  I
• 14:19
  meditate.
• 14:21
  In
• 14:21
  my
• 14:22
  office,
• 14:22
  I
• 14:23
  have
• 14:23
  a
• 14:23
  meditation
• 14:23
  bench
• 14:25
  which
• 14:25
  has
• 14:25
  not
• 14:25
  been
• 14:25
  sat
• 14:26
  on
• 14:26
  for.
• 14:27
  Well,
• 14:27
  not
• 14:27
  since
• 14:28
  I
• 14:28
  moved
• 14:28
  into
• 14:28
  this
• 14:28
  apartment.
• 14:29
  I
• 14:29
  used
• 14:29
  to
• 14:30
  use
• 14:30
  it
• 14:30
  with.
• 14:30
  In
• 14:30
  my.
• 14:31
  In
• 14:31
  the
• 14:31
  guest
• 14:31
  room
• 14:32
  with
• 14:32
  my
• 14:32
  yoga
• 14:32
  stuff.
• 14:33
  It's
• 14:33
  a
• 14:33
  great
• 14:34
  little
• 14:34
  bench.
• 14:35
  So
• 14:37
  interesting.
• 14:38
  That
• 14:38
  would
• 14:38
  be
• 14:39
  an
• 14:39
  interesting.
• 14:39
  I
• 14:39
  think
• 14:39
  a
• 14:40
  really
• 14:40
  beneficial
• 14:40
  experiment
• 14:41
  for
• 14:41
  me.
• 14:42
  Yeah.
• 14:43
  And
• 14:44
  you
• 14:44
  know,
• 14:44
  sitting
• 14:44
  on
• 14:45
  your
• 14:45
  meditation
• 14:45
  bench
• 14:46
  is
• 14:46
  excellent.
• 14:46
  And
• 14:47
  also
• 14:47
  just
• 14:48
  sitting
• 14:48
  in
• 14:48
  my
• 14:48
  chair.
• 14:49
  Moments
• 14:49
  of
• 14:50
  mindfulness
• 14:50
  in
• 14:51
  your
• 14:51
  chair
• 14:52
  is
• 14:53
  great
• 14:53
  because
• 14:54
  it.
• 14:55
  That
• 14:55
  also
• 14:57
  anchors
• 14:57
  that
• 14:58
  feeling
• 14:59
  to
• 15:00
  sitting
• 15:00
  in
• 15:00
  your
• 15:01
  chair,
• 15:01
  looking
• 15:02
  at
• 15:02
  your
• 15:02
  computer.
• 15:04
  So
• 15:04
  you
• 15:05
  do
• 15:05
  that
• 15:05
  enough
• 15:06
  times,
• 15:07
  then
• 15:07
  it
• 15:07
  starts
• 15:08
  to
• 15:08
  happen
• 15:08
  automatically.
• 15:09
  Like
• 15:10
  your
• 15:10
  response
• 15:11
  begins
• 15:11
  to
• 15:13
  be
• 15:14
  that
• 15:14
  feeling
• 15:14
  of
• 15:15
  mindfulness.
• 15:16
  Right.
• 15:16
  Using
• 15:17
  a
• 15:17
  cue
• 15:17
  of
• 15:18
  something
• 15:18
  like
• 15:20
  logging
• 15:20
  in
• 15:20
  or
• 15:21
  some
• 15:21
  other
• 15:22
  pause
• 15:24
  that
• 15:24
  ordinarily
• 15:25
  would
• 15:25
  make
• 15:25
  me
• 15:25
  go
• 15:26
  to
• 15:26
  Facebook.
• 15:27
  I
• 15:27
  think
• 15:27
  that's
• 15:28
  what
• 15:28
  my,
• 15:28
  like
• 15:29
  the
• 15:29
  thing,
• 15:29
  the
• 15:29
  knee
• 15:30
  jerk
• 15:30
  reaction
• 15:30
  has
• 15:31
  Turned
• 15:31
  into.
• 15:34
  That's
• 15:34
  a
• 15:34
  great
• 15:34
  cue.
• 15:35
  I
• 15:35
  mean,
• 15:35
  because
• 15:35
  it
• 15:35
  happens
• 15:36
  throughout
• 15:36
  the
• 15:36
  day,
• 15:37
  and
• 15:37
  if
• 15:37
  it's
• 15:37
  just.
• 15:37
  Even
• 15:38
  if
• 15:38
  it's
• 15:38
  just
• 15:38
  a
• 15:38
  few
• 15:38
  seconds.
• 15:40
  Oh,
• 15:40
  that's
• 15:40
  kind
• 15:40
  of.
• 15:41
  I
• 15:41
  feel
• 15:41
  kind
• 15:41
  of
• 15:42
  excited
• 15:42
  by
• 15:42
  that.
• 15:44
  I
• 15:44
  know,
• 15:44
  Me
• 15:45
  too.
• 15:45
  It's
• 15:45
  like,
• 15:45
  ooh.
• 15:46
  Because,
• 15:47
  I
• 15:47
  mean,
• 15:48
  I
• 15:49
  think
• 15:49
  that
• 15:49
  that's
• 15:49
  something
• 15:49
  that
• 15:50
  we
• 15:50
  all
• 15:50
  deal
• 15:50
  with.
• 15:51
  And
• 15:51
  then
• 15:53
  having
• 15:53
  adhd,
• 15:56
  I
• 15:56
  have
• 15:57
  that
• 15:59
  sort
• 15:59
  of
• 15:59
  on
• 16:00
  steroids,
• 16:00
  shall
• 16:01
  we
• 16:01
  say.
• 16:02
  And
• 16:03
  while
• 16:04
  I
• 16:04
  was
• 16:04
  in
• 16:05
  sort
• 16:05
  of
• 16:05
  the
• 16:05
  real
• 16:06
  thick
• 16:06
  of
• 16:06
  my
• 16:07
  post
• 16:08
  surgery
• 16:08
  recovery,
• 16:09
  I
• 16:10
  wasn't
• 16:10
  taking
• 16:10
  my
• 16:11
  ADHD
• 16:11
  meds
• 16:12
  and
• 16:13
  I
• 16:13
  had
• 16:14
  an
• 16:14
  appointment
• 16:14
  with
• 16:15
  my
• 16:15
  mental
• 16:15
  health
• 16:16
  provider,
• 16:16
  and
• 16:17
  she
• 16:17
  was
• 16:18
  asking
• 16:18
  me
• 16:18
  about
• 16:18
  symptoms,
• 16:19
  and
• 16:19
  I
• 16:19
  didn't
• 16:19
  think
• 16:19
  that
• 16:20
  I
• 16:20
  was
• 16:20
  really
• 16:21
  experiencing
• 16:21
  anything.
• 16:22
  I
• 16:22
  wasn't
• 16:22
  doing
• 16:22
  a
• 16:22
  whole
• 16:23
  lot.
• 16:23
  But
• 16:23
  then
• 16:23
  I
• 16:23
  was
• 16:23
  like,
• 16:24
  oh,
• 16:24
  wait
• 16:24
  a
• 16:24
  minute.
• 16:25
  I
• 16:26
  will
• 16:26
  start
• 16:27
  one
• 16:27
  thing
• 16:27
  and
• 16:28
  it
• 16:28
  will
• 16:28
  remind
• 16:29
  me
• 16:29
  of
• 16:29
  another
• 16:29
  thing,
• 16:30
  and
• 16:30
  it
• 16:30
  will
• 16:30
  remind
• 16:30
  me
• 16:31
  of
• 16:31
  another
• 16:31
  thing
• 16:32
  until
• 16:33
  at
• 16:33
  the
• 16:33
  end
• 16:33
  of
• 16:33
  the
• 16:34
  day,
• 16:34
  I've
• 16:34
  started
• 16:35
  12
• 16:35
  things
• 16:37
  that
• 16:37
  are
• 16:38
  throughout
• 16:39
  the
• 16:39
  house
• 16:39
  and
• 16:40
  nothing
• 16:40
  is
• 16:40
  finished.
• 16:41
  Yeah.
• 16:42
  Interesting.
• 16:43
  Yeah.
• 16:44
  So
• 16:45
  I
• 16:45
  think
• 16:45
  that's
• 16:46
  very
• 16:46
  relatable.
• 16:48
  Yeah,
• 16:48
  yeah,
• 16:49
  yeah.
• 16:49
  And
• 16:50
  you
• 16:50
  don't
• 16:50
  have
• 16:50
  to
• 16:50
  have
• 16:50
  ADHD
• 16:52
  for
• 16:52
  that
• 16:52
  to
• 16:53
  happen.
• 16:53
  But
• 16:54
  that
• 16:54
  is
• 16:54
  definitely
• 16:55
  one
• 16:55
  of
• 16:55
  my
• 16:55
  primary
• 16:56
  symptoms.
• 16:57
  And
• 16:58
  being
• 16:59
  back
• 16:59
  on
• 17:00
  my
• 17:00
  medication,
• 17:00
  it
• 17:01
  makes
• 17:01
  it
• 17:02
  so
• 17:02
  much
• 17:02
  easier
• 17:03
  to
• 17:03
  finish
• 17:04
  things
• 17:05
  and
• 17:06
  stay
• 17:09
  focused
• 17:09
  on
• 17:09
  what
• 17:10
  it
• 17:10
  is
• 17:10
  I
• 17:10
  want
• 17:10
  to
• 17:10
  get
• 17:11
  done.
• 17:12
  Yeah,
• 17:12
  yeah.
• 17:13
  Interesting.
• 17:13
  Yeah.
• 17:14
  That
• 17:14
  sort
• 17:14
  of
• 17:14
  took
• 17:14
  a
• 17:15
  turn
• 17:15
  from
• 17:15
  multitasking
• 17:16
  to
• 17:16
  meditation
• 17:17
  and
• 17:17
  mindfulness
• 17:19
  destructibility.
• 17:20
  And
• 17:20
  I
• 17:21
  feel
• 17:21
  like
• 17:22
  kind
• 17:23
  of
• 17:23
  piggybacking
• 17:24
  on
• 17:24
  what
• 17:25
  we
• 17:25
  talked
• 17:25
  about
• 17:25
  last
• 17:25
  week.
• 17:26
  As
• 17:26
  you
• 17:26
  said
• 17:26
  earlier,
• 17:27
  that
• 17:28
  single
• 17:28
  tasking,
• 17:29
  you
• 17:29
  know,
• 17:30
  staying
• 17:30
  mindful
• 17:31
  so
• 17:31
  that
• 17:32
  you
• 17:32
  can
• 17:33
  focus
• 17:33
  on
• 17:34
  one
• 17:34
  thing
• 17:35
  at
• 17:35
  a
• 17:35
  time
• 17:36
  and
• 17:37
  reduce
• 17:38
  the
• 17:38
  amount
• 17:39
  that
• 17:39
  you're
• 17:39
  distracted
• 17:40
  is
• 17:41
  really
• 17:42
  self
• 17:42
  care.
• 17:44
  Yeah.
• 17:45
  So
• 17:45
  many
• 17:45
  benefits.
• 17:46
  Right?
• 17:46
  It's
• 17:46
  self
• 17:46
  care
• 17:47
  in
• 17:47
  that
• 17:47
  it
• 17:47
  keeps
• 17:47
  you.
• 17:48
  Keeps
• 17:48
  our
• 17:48
  minds
• 17:49
  focused
• 17:49
  and
• 17:49
  keeps
• 17:50
  us
• 17:50
  from
• 17:51
  worry
• 17:51
  and
• 17:51
  stress
• 17:52
  over
• 17:52
  things
• 17:53
  we're
• 17:53
  not
• 17:53
  able
• 17:53
  to
• 17:54
  control
• 17:54
  right
• 17:54
  now.
• 17:54
  But
• 17:55
  also
• 17:55
  it's
• 17:56
  makes
• 17:56
  us
• 17:56
  more
• 17:57
  effective,
• 17:57
  more
• 17:57
  productive,
• 17:58
  more.
• 17:59
  Just
• 17:59
  more
• 17:59
  calm.
• 18:01
  Right,
• 18:02
  right.
• 18:02
  Well.
• 18:03
  And
• 18:04
  it
• 18:04
  gives
• 18:05
  you
• 18:05
  at
• 18:05
  least
• 18:05
  a
• 18:06
  feeling
• 18:07
  or
• 18:08
  the
• 18:08
  benefits
• 18:08
  of
• 18:09
  feeling
• 18:09
  productive
• 18:10
  because
• 18:10
  you're
• 18:11
  actually
• 18:11
  accomplishing
• 18:12
  things.
• 18:13
  You
• 18:14
  know,
• 18:14
  you
• 18:14
  can
