I still don't know how I feel about Instagram.
I think it's distracting and something I would rather
have my brain choose more specifically
the content I want to ingest.
And so I do feel like it's not gonna last much longer.
I'm sorry, but-
Feelings about Instagram makes sense
because I looked at your Instagram
and you don't follow anyone.
Yeah, I did that because I started liking it too much.
And I was like, oh, what is this pot?
Like I would watch pottery videos.
I would watch, they're so amazing.
Really fulfilling.
Yeah, and I would watch,
I'd look at so many interior designers
and it just like, I was just,
it was just taking up too much brain.
Like that being an impulse was just so weird to me
that it was something I never needed.
And then I tricked my brain into needing it.
And I was like, no, you will not win.
And I'm going to unfollow every one of you,
including my closest friends in the universe.
And I just like got rid of it so that at least now
I can try and be a little bit more specific
with how I spend my time, you know, whatever it was,
like waiting for a bathroom or something.
This is very real.
There's that whole feature where you can see
how much time you're spending on Instagram.
It's wildly disturbing.
Yeah, I got 14 minutes the other day.
That was my daily average.
And I am proudly wearing that.
That is not my average.
So wow, congratulations.
But that's because you have to unfollow everyone.
I can't.
No.
But I would imagine for you, that's crucial.
I can't imagine you trying to sit down
and memorize a script,
but like having that urge to every two minutes
pick up your phone.
Oh my God, there's so many emails
I need to be responding to that I just forget about
because my brain's occupied with something
that isn't going to help me in the end.
It's going to make me feel bad about myself.
You have inspired me.
I'll see if I can just pull,
I need to get it down to like maybe 30 minutes.
Yeah.
I'll start there.
Yeah, it's hard.
Yeah, it's really hard.
