0:00.0	Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K.A. Secrets of a plasticastic Surgeon, and it's time for a five-minute Friday,
0:22.9	the last one of the year. It's time for Happy New Year. And instead of talking about all my
0:29.6	New Year's resolutions, I thought I'd give you five useful tips for ways to change your habits. And this is a hard one for me because I'm a very
0:41.1	slow to change person. I don't know about you guys, but it takes me a while to adopt a new
0:46.9	habit. And I think I have some bad habits this year that I want to work on for next year.
0:53.5	So I want to talk to you about the five
0:55.5	things that are most important for me to work on and how I'm planning to change my bad habits.
1:00.9	So bad habit number one that I'm working on is getting out of my email inbox. I feel like I'm
1:08.6	drowning in email all the time. And the fact that I have my emails visible on my phone
1:15.2	makes it even more addictive and hard for me to get out of my inbox. We spend so much time checking

1:35.3	to think about, what I want to do, where I want my mind to be. And it's because emails make you very
1:42.0	reactive. If I spend two hours and clear my inbox,
1:45.8	maybe I'd have to spend like 24 hours, actually. There's so many emails. But if I took that time
1:51.1	and then I sat down and actually looked at how many emails were useful, pertinent, and mandatory
1:55.8	that I deal with, it's probably about 5% out of the 95% of junk, you know, emails that are just repetitive,
2:05.6	emails that are asking inquiries that are not important, emails that other people could
2:09.7	handle for me. I have been so blessed to have an amazing executive assistant, Michaela, who has
2:17.2	conquered my inbox to some extent, and I've really
2:20.4	made an effort to give up my email inbox and allow her to filter for me, everything that's super
2:26.3	important, that is necessity. That's my eyes only that I need to read that I need to make a decision
