Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K.A. Secrets of a plastic surgeon.

It's time for Happy New Year. And instead of

talking about all my 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 slow to change person.

I don't know about you guys, but it takes me a while to adopt a new habit.

And I think I have some bad habits this year that I want to work on for next year.

So I want to talk to you about the five things that are most important for me to work on

and how I'm planning to change my bad habits.

So, bad habit number one that I'm working on is getting out of my email inbox. I feel like I'm

drowning in email all the time. And the fact that I have my emails visible on my phone

makes it even more addictive and hard for me to get

out of my inbox. We spend so much time checking emails and I feel like emails are so reactive.

I'm always looking at other people's agendas. OPA, other people's agendas. When they're throwing

me email after email after email, I never get to

think about what I want to think about, what I want to do, where I want my mind to be. And it's because

emails make you very reactive. If I spend two hours and clear my inbox, maybe I'd have to spend like

24 hours, actually, there's so many emails. But if I took that time and then I sat down and actually looked at how many emails were useful,

pertinent, and mandatory that I deal with, this is probably about 5% out of the 95% of junk,

you know, emails that are just repetitive, emails that are asking inquiries that are not important,

emails that other people could handle for me.

And if you guys have the ability to get this kind of a virtual helper in your life to help you with your email inbox,

I highly recommend it.
