It's The Simple Show. You've got episode 13.

Hey there, I'm Tish Hawksdenwriter and welcome to the first in a series we're calling super

creatively, Ask Tish, where I answer one of your questions related to simple living, because it's all well

and good to want to simplify your life, but it comes down to brass tags. You've got to have

some of the practicals. So to find out how to ask me a question, head to the simple show.com.

All right, we're starting off the series in a rather apropos way, seeing as we're a podcast

and we're here thanks to the internet.

The reason I'm starting off at this question in particular is because it was asked by several

of you. I'll give you an example of one. Eliza asks me, how do you achieve calm and

fulfillment on social media? These days, it seems like the majority of my Facebook feed is

just noise. Do you have any

practical tips from managing the internet? I like that thought of managing the internet, but I know

what you mean. Essentially what we're generally talking about here is too much noise and too much time, right?

Social media takes up so much time and it's really, really noisy, and that's the

problem we're wanting to tackle. I'll start off by addressing the time. It's helpful to remember

that time is a finite resource. None of us have an infinite amount. We all have the exact same

amount, in fact. You have the same amount of time allotted as does the president

of your country, the successful entrepreneurs and inventors you read about who seem to do

amazing things, and the person online who seems to do it all and know exactly how to manage

her time perfectly. We all have 24 hours, right? Essentially, how we spend our time is not a question

so much of productivity, but of priority.

What am I going to prioritize with the precious few hours of my day?
