| 0:00.0 | Hello, beautiful beans and welcome to the podcast episode of today. So in today's episode, |
| 0:18.7 | we are talking about how to gain clarity for what you want in your life |
| 0:22.6 | in five simple steps. Now, this is any kind of clarity. We're talking about career clarity, |
| 0:28.2 | what you want in your relationships, what you want out of life in general, your direction where |
| 0:33.0 | you're headed. This is going to help you start, kind of steer you in a direction where you feel you have a lot more clarity, okay? |
| 0:40.2 | You're going to need to work through these exercises. |
| 0:42.4 | You're going to need to ideally grab a pen and paper, or you can type it out if you prefer. |
| 0:46.9 | But I like putting pen to paper because there's more parts of your brain that are working when you write things down physically |
| 0:52.4 | and you're more present in the moment when |
| 0:54.9 | you're doing so. So if possible, grab a pen and paper and work through these points. But before I |

| 1:21.1 | then you can feast jars on this article. |
| 1:23.3 | But this is called Social Media Bites association between social media use and everyday memory |
| 1:30.7 | failure across adult lifespan. So we're talking about how social media use can actually |
| 1:38.0 | affect everyday memory. Okay. Now, I'm going to quickly talk about what the study was and then I'm |
| 1:46.2 | going to talk about the findings of this study, not just in this published paper, but there were |
| 1:50.3 | other studies that were referenced as well in this paper and in other similar papers around |
| 1:55.1 | this topic. It's really interesting. So the study was done on a whole bunch of subjects. |
| 1:58.6 | We had 217, 20 to 39 year olds, |
| 2:01.9 | 400 middle age, so that's 40 to 59. How the fuck is 40 middle aged? Don't even talk to me. |
