0:00.0	I'm Cal Newport, and this is DeepQuestions, episode 189.
0:22.0	I'm here in the DeepWork HQ, along with my producer, Jesse, I'm not in great shape
0:29.9	as I've told you. I'm still battling a sickness. My family was passing around. You
0:36.1	probably hear it in my voice, so our goal is to get through today's episode and

1:34.3	announcement about YouTube. We're changing something up about our YouTube

1:57.5	segment. It turns out that from the perspective of people who use YouTube,
2:02.5	that's way too many videos. So now what we're going to do is still release the
