0:00.0	Hey, it's Thomas Frank. I've just got a quick note for you before we get into the show.
0:03.5	If you've been enjoying the inforium or my videos over on YouTube, then you, my friend,
0:07.9	should get Nebula. On Nebula, you get ad-free versions about this podcast and my videos,
0:12.9	along with exclusive stuff, like extended versions of those videos. And it's not just our
0:17.2	stuff that you're going to get. Dozens of other creators are on Nebula, including Alieb Doll,
0:20.8	Windover Productions, Braincraft, Tearsoo, and lots more. Nebula gives us a chance to
0:25.3	experiment. And since everything's ad-free, it's also the best way for you to get our content.
0:55.6	I wonder if I can find that. I should find that at some point in this episode and chat

1:26.6	computer with that maneuver, but I will trust you. We'll find them. Arnold Schwarzenegger is from
1:31.7	Jingle all the way. And that is how I know him. That is true. That is a true statement. I'm pretty
1:38.4	sure that that is his primary movie that he is known for. I think so. Put the cookie down.
1:45.2	Anyway, welcome back to the inforium. This is a show about productivity, self-development,
1:52.0	and me and Martin talking to each other about things we're trying to get better at, basically.
1:58.2	I'm trying to get better at a lot of things this year. Got a lot of ambitions starting in 2021.
2:05.0	This is actually the first episode that we are recording in 2021 because we were on the ball
2:10.4	and recorded the last episode well in advance. Yeah, we're responsible now. Yeah, it's a small thing.
2:19.0	And today we're going to talk about how you can stop hesitating and stop convincing yourself
