0:00.0	It's only recently that we have all spent this time, so much time online, and that we've
0:07.3	had basically every little thought that we've had or uttered in a public place for the entire
0:15.4	world to be able to see for all time.
0:17.5	And it's not natural.
0:19.2	I think it all comes down to being able to allow yourself to visualize
0:24.3	a future that is better than your present. You just heard a couple clips from today's
0:32.4	conversation with Corbett Barr, who is our guest, talking about his experience doing a digital reboot,
0:39.1	essentially downsizing his digital footprint. And that's a question we're going to tackle
0:44.1	today. Should you downsize your digital footprint? Should you have a more minimal digital life?
0:51.4	And what does that mean? How does that look in terms of your daily life, your habits?

1:30.2	I would say, is how do we carry this digital burden in some cases? If it is a burden,
1:36.0	how do you recognize that? And how do you go about stripping it down? Or if not totally stripping it
1:42.4	down, just making tweaks to improve and enhance your
1:46.4	lifestyle. And we are going to get some practical tips and frameworks in this conversation
1:51.7	to help you do just that. We'll talk about creating space for yourself and any big decisions
