Summary
In this episode, we dive into a listener question about how to better use our downtime in the evenings when energy and focus are low, especially if we want to avoid mindlessly watching TV and instead do things that move us closer to our goals.
We explore strategies for gradually improving habits, making the most of those precious first and last hours of the day, and navigating a world filled with distractions vying for our attention.
Join us as we discuss the importance of awareness and intentionality in pursuing a meaningful life.
