promotions are absolutely painful at
0:00:04.500,0:00:08.099
least if you're not in a creative
0:00:05.759,0:00:10.110
I love promotions but if it's something
0:00:08.099,0:00:11.460
that you cringe at every single month
0:00:10.110,0:00:13.799
you're like oh man we had to make
0:00:11.460,0:00:17.630
another one or let me just forget it
0:00:13.799,0:00:17.630
I'm skipping it this month I don't care
0:00:18.289,0:00:24.330
use me like I mean like I love it I do
0:00:21.810,0:00:26.400
it all the time
0:00:24.330,0:00:28.230
but if it's like if but if it's like one
0:00:26.400,0:00:30.630
of those things like you got you have a
0:00:28.230,0:00:33.059
good pulse you have a good feel on it I
0:00:30.630,0:00:34.920
definitely recommend not using me but
0:00:33.059,0:00:36.500
it's one of those things like god I hate
0:00:34.920,0:00:41.040
this stuff
0:00:36.500,0:00:42.719
check me out anyways hope you enjoy the
0:00:41.040,0:00:47.100
podcast let's go
0:00:42.719,0:00:49.320
so this one is all about downtime and I
0:00:47.100,0:00:50.910
mean I should say offline time downtime
0:00:49.320,0:00:55.949
offline time whatever you want to call
0:00:50.910,0:00:56.370
it in today's digital world we all need
0:00:55.949,0:00:58.590
it
0:00:56.370,0:01:00.930
it is an absolute it's one of those I I
0:00:58.590,0:01:03.390
feel like and this may be a weird
0:01:00.930,0:01:05.489
analogy but and you may get it you know
0:01:03.390,0:01:07.200
when we all switch from like analog
0:01:05.489,0:01:10.229
keyboards like on the phones like the
0:01:07.200,0:01:14.220
QWERTY keyboards the physical keys to
0:01:10.229,0:01:17.759
like digital keyboards digital keyboards
0:01:14.220,0:01:19.740
and it was really weird filling I feel
0:01:17.759,0:01:21.600
like that's how the Internet is now like
0:01:19.740,0:01:25.380
I feel like our lives have actually
0:01:21.600,0:01:27.540
transitioned to being online it just
0:01:25.380,0:01:30.869
feels weird it's not like though it's
0:01:27.540,0:01:32.610
not you're not in touch in in it's not
0:01:30.869,0:01:34.200
how things used to be and I guess I'm
0:01:32.610,0:01:38.030
becoming one of those people it's not
0:01:34.200,0:01:40.950
like it was before what I was a kid
0:01:38.030,0:01:43.409
anyways I want to use this to as a
0:01:40.950,0:01:46.500
springboard a bounce board to talk about
0:01:43.409,0:01:49.710
something that me and Laura just
0:01:46.500,0:01:51.720
implemented into our kind of I wouldn't
0:01:49.710,0:01:54.380
say regular schedule but just in general
0:01:51.720,0:01:56.969
whenever we have friends over
0:01:54.380,0:01:59.909
instead of like doing Netflix and stuff
0:01:56.969,0:02:02.340
like that we've actually started taking
0:01:59.909,0:02:04.360
out board games right both ancient
0:02:02.340,0:02:08.800
things with dust on them
0:02:04.360,0:02:12.420
and what's crazy about this is it really
0:02:08.800,0:02:15.730
brings the attention back to real life
0:02:12.420,0:02:18.010
like everyone has their phone down not
0:02:15.730,0:02:19.330
everyone but for the most part everyone
0:02:18.010,0:02:21.790
has their phone down and we're like just
0:02:19.330,0:02:24.480
talking and chatting and back and forth
0:02:21.790,0:02:26.770
and interacting and thinking about one
0:02:24.480,0:02:28.900
focused thing that we're all focusing on
0:02:26.770,0:02:30.640
you know I mean like when you have when
0:02:28.900,0:02:33.070
you're in a room with when you go to
0:02:30.640,0:02:35.950
hell a restaurant when you go to
0:02:33.070,0:02:38.290
anywhere you everyone has their own
0:02:35.950,0:02:40.870
divided attention into their phone
0:02:38.290,0:02:43.870
there's like the attention it's not on
0:02:40.870,0:02:45.640
one focus thing like the only time you
0:02:43.870,0:02:46.990
see that as a freaking car wreck like
0:02:45.640,0:02:48.580
you see a car or everyone's looking at
0:02:46.990,0:02:54.700
the car wreck and then they're also
0:02:48.580,0:02:57.850
texting about it the I say this because
0:02:54.700,0:03:02.410
I think it is really key to my health
0:02:57.850,0:03:05.320
and maybe yours to like embrace a lot of
0:03:02.410,0:03:08.020
these older things that we've kind of
0:03:05.320,0:03:11.560
thought of as stupid or as like just
0:03:08.020,0:03:13.630
really old board games for example even
0:03:11.560,0:03:15.370
listen to CDs maybe I don't have a CD
0:03:13.630,0:03:17.830
player so I can't exactly recommend it
0:03:15.370,0:03:21.640
but it's being in touch with just like a
0:03:17.830,0:03:23.260
more physical world maybe a couple did
0:03:21.640,0:03:25.239
few days a month you know I mean I'm not
0:03:23.260,0:03:27.160
talking about like every single day
0:03:25.239,0:03:28.390
let's pull out the board game when I'm
0:03:27.160,0:03:31.170
talking about like you know we had a
0:03:28.390,0:03:33.730
couple friends over instead of like
0:03:31.170,0:03:35.890
looking at YouTube together maybe we do
0:03:33.730,0:03:37.870
something different don't get me wrong i
0:03:35.890,0:03:38.230
love youtube I love all this different
0:03:37.870,0:03:39.970
stuff
0:03:38.230,0:03:44.140
I love engaging in conversation but I do
0:03:39.970,0:03:46.780
think that we are that our age our
0:03:44.140,0:03:48.340
generation we have to think of we have
0:03:46.780,0:03:52.360
to really think intentionally about this
0:03:48.340,0:03:54.790
because we're living in such a lonely
0:03:52.360,0:03:57.459
world right now where everyone feels
0:03:54.790,0:03:59.980
like they have a million friends when
0:03:57.459,0:04:02.049
they have no friends and there's only a
0:03:59.980,0:04:05.850
few friends that are actually there that
0:04:02.049,0:04:09.549
maybe even that are coming from the
0:04:05.850,0:04:11.620
Dupre like I want to say pre-internet
0:04:09.549,0:04:13.030
but it pretty like wouldn't enter in
0:04:11.620,0:04:15.190
what pre Facebook I think I should
0:04:13.030,0:04:19.180
say that pre Facebook because Facebook
0:04:15.190,0:04:21.190
really did alter our trajectory I mean
0:04:19.180,0:04:26.460
in a lot of good ways and a lot of bad
0:04:21.190,0:04:29.380
ways honestly this has this isn't a like
0:04:26.460,0:04:31.270
absolute solution or anything I want to
0:04:29.380,0:04:33.669
use this as just a way of thinking or
0:04:31.270,0:04:38.290
talking about things that are existing
0:04:33.669,0:04:41.560
into like the end of 2019 where where we
0:04:38.290,0:04:43.930
all have we all have actual instant
0:04:41.560,0:04:48.790
access to video chat anyone at all any
0:04:43.930,0:04:51.960
and all times no cost really we can call
0:04:48.790,0:04:56.040
anyone at all times because we're all so
0:04:51.960,0:04:59.050
divided and so like just in our own
0:04:56.040,0:05:03.820
whatever own bubble like we don't do any
0:04:59.050,0:05:05.729
of that stuff and moreover not in person
0:05:03.820,0:05:08.169
pretty much ever
0:05:05.729,0:05:10.330
okay well I don't know if this helped at
0:05:08.169,0:05:14.290
all but this is just my thoughts about
0:05:10.330,0:05:17.020
maybe getting offline for a bit I don't
0:05:14.290,0:05:19.720
think he shouldn't I think that internet
0:05:17.020,0:05:21.790
is good and I think that all this
0:05:19.720,0:05:25.860
connectivity is good but I also think a
0:05:21.790,0:05:31.030
good just laugh with a friend is better
0:05:25.860,0:05:33.850
okay you know promotions are painful
0:05:31.030,0:05:35.740
remember if you hate doing them every
0:05:33.850,0:05:38.530
single month let me do them every single
0:05:35.740,0:05:43.060

0:05:38.530,0:05:46.830
