Hello everybody welcome to mindful metal jacket good morning good afternoon good night

oh I went right into what's that movie? Truman Show. Not a big fan. Loved it when I first saw it.

Then it started to make less and less sense. I'm not sure how great it really is, maybe it is great maybe I should give it another

chance I don't know anyways good to be here folks how you do it in the? Hope you're doing well.

Hope you had a good, healthy, safe week since last time I saw you.

I've been having a nice time. I was out in Seattle and really living in the moment

hanging with my best friend and his wife who's a dear friend and his children who I consider my

niece and nephew when we played and had a wonderful time and oh it was just the best and

I was away from my phone a lot. I downloaded this app called

Moment. I highly recommend it. It keeps tracks of how many times you pick up your

phone a day and how much time you spend on there and then it also

keeps track of it's called in the moment and that's periods of 30 minutes or longer that you're

not picking up your phone or looking at your phone.

And it's nice and you try to set your high score.

I've been down to under two hours, the last two days,

the first two days I've been using it. I went a little haywire with my phone last week because of the election stuff and I become obsessed with the news and what's going on and I can get wrapped up in that stuff and it

takes me to an unhealthy place mentally and probably physically too. And I'm

reading this book that I think I've mentioned a couple times called How to Break Up with your phone with an author name by the name of

Catherine Price who I'm trying to get on the show actually and she points out that the average person spends four hours a day on their phone and if you spend four hours a day on your phone that works out to being about 52 days a year that you're looking at your phone.

It seems like a lot.

Also, if you sleep for seven hours a day,

let's say, and then you're on your phone
