Summary

It's easy to take for granted just how much we've allowed digital media to creep into our lives over the past two decades — to the point that we've lost much of what it used to mean to be human. Add to the constant dopamine hits we get from our screens the ones we get from our food and our drugs (even just caffeine), and soon enough, our entire days are frittered away in search of the next fix, be it a bite of junk food or a few minutes doom-scrolling through Instagram. But within reach there's a way to take back your life, at least when it comes to digital distraction. It's the 30-day digital declutter described by Cal Newport in his book Digital Minimalism, and in this episode of the Outlier Health Podcast, Matt Frazier and Matt Tullman break down the steps and the rules of implementing this life-changing process in your own life.

taste you got to do the right thing to it.

0:46.7

Yeah.

Erin by the way my wife...

0:48.7

What?

0:50.7

It's like it's like soy, it's like tofu, you know, like it is, but the fermented flavor is just, is this a strange one?

0:57.9

It's hard a mask. My wife Aaron actually, on the last, the meathlete, she said, you should tell Matt not to eat on these

podcasts because he comes through on the mic one athlete thing she said you should tell me not to eat on these podcasts because you come through in the mic so you'll have to be mindful of that just eat

1:17.0

Oh yeah, yeah, she's started. She especially listens to live things. She's not going to make the effort to go get the podcast. But if it's live and pops up on her phone,
