0:00.0	It's a minimalist Monday edition of Optimal Living Daily episode 1529.
0:04.4	Things we are never meant to know by Ali Cornish of Everthrive.org and I'm Justin Mollick.
0:10.0	Happy Monday, welcome back to Optimal Living Daily or the OLD podcast where I read to you from
0:14.8	some of the best blogs I can find and get permission from. Mostly covering personal
0:18.9	development and minimalism on this show. We cover a bunch of other topics in the Optimal
0:22.5	Living Daily podcast network which includes four other shows. Definitely subscribe to those if
0:27.0	you like this one just search for Optimal Living Daily to find them. For now let's get right

1:23.7	remain oblivious in the face of scientific knowledge. I believe in the practice of protecting
1:28.3	ourselves from too much information. As an aspiring minimalist I take measures to filter out unnecessary
1:34.8	things from my life. I curate my phone apps to only the essentials. I get rid of one item of clothing
1:40.7	for each new item I purchase. I buy only what our family will eat at the store and I try to stick
1:46.0	to one task or hobby at a time instead of multitasking. I filter out the essential from the too much.
1:53.0	Here are some examples of my sources of too much. Maybe you can relate?
