Summary

In this episode we’re talking about Martin Short’s 9 categories of self-evaluation. This is based on an interview that he did where he shared that every year he takes stock of where he is in his life in the following areas: Self, Immediate Family, Original Family, Friends, Money, Career, Creativity, Discipline and Lifestyle.
By taking a moment to look at these categories or areas of your life, it quickly becomes apparent that there is so much more to our existence than our career.
Short credits this outlook as helping him to prioritize what’s truly important in life but also uses them as a means to bring balance and be in a place of gratitude.

| 0:40.4 | awfulizing everything. |
| 0:43.1 | Usually you can tell because you're using words like always and never. |
| 0:47.0 | We know we're in that state of mind |
| 0:48.7 | where we can't see our situation realistically anymore. So we thought today we would talk about a new way of |
| 0:56.4 | thinking about your life, especially during this difficult pandemic time we're |
| 1:01.8 | going through with a lot of anxiety and angst and worry in the world. |

| 1:19.6 | He's best friends with Steve Martin, and today the two of them tour with this |
| 1:23.4 | this fantastic comedy music show. So anyway he's on smartless and he's talking about |
