0:00.0	On Cal Newport, and this is Deep Questions, episode 73.
0:21.6	Two quick announcements, number one concerns questions.

0:34.9	I'm almost out, so I'm about to send out a new survey to collect new questions for

1:39.3	If you go to calnewport.com slash pre-order, you can register that pre-order and you'll
