0:00.0	Yo, hey Power Hour Crew, it's Adrienne here and this week I want to talk about challenging your bias.
0:07.0	So firstly, I guess we all have to accept that it is true. In fact, we all have biases and we have to make ourselves aware of them and then question, I guess, the complete opposite
0:21.9	perspective to our own and to think about why somebody would believe something completely
0:27.4	different to what we believe and really kind of delve deep into that to try and understand
0:31.7	it before we reject it. So something that made me think that is basically I'm reading a book
0:36.6	at the moment which was
0:38.4	recommended by a friend and it's called Do Less Get More by Shah Wasmond. I hope I'm pronouncing her
0:44.7	name correctly. She's also the author of Stop Talking, Start Doing. So the book is called
0:49.6	Do Less, Get More and it's about how to work smart and live life your way. Now I know lots of people are
0:56.5	talking about this work smarter not harder and you know we need to be doing less. I know it's been

1:20.8	popular conversation right now is that we should all be doing less you know putting less
1:26.2	pressure on ourselves, you know,
1:33.5	things are demanding a lot of our time and energy and we should be saying no and doing more self-care and taking more time off and trying to create a work-life balance. And I don't know why
1:39.5	this doesn't really, oh, I don't know why this doesn't really, I don't always agree. And that's
1:43.8	why I'm trying to, yeah, I guess challenge my own bias. And I think the reason I don't know why this doesn't really, I don't always agree and that's why I'm
1:44.1	trying to, yeah, I guess challenge my own bias. And I think the reason I don't agree with it
1:48.7	initially is because I personally believe that when people are talking about working less
1:54.4	and, you know, taking Thursday afternoons off and work life balance and self-care, it's often
