And again, that's not, in my opinion, the fault of the people that create these apps, even though they are designed to monopolize your attention.

They are designed to be addictive.

I get it, and I know that.

So at the end of the day, if I spend too much time on them, whose fault is that?

And the answer is that it's mine.

So at the end of the week, I ask myself, what did I do with this time?

And then I'll ask myself, if I could have that time back, is there anything else I could have done that would be more productive?

And the answer is always yes.

It's always yes.

And so I just, I look for whatever reason, I've been looking at that, my engagement with things like that online in 2025, that is something I want to change in 2026.

So a little bit of an early year end review for me, but I'm curious out there for the listeners and viewers, because I feel like I am not in the minority when it comes to

Consumption time on devices, but objectively, if you were to look back at it in chunks of a week or a month or a year, and somebody could give you that and just say, hey, you have an opportunity to do this over again.

Would you want to spend that time differently?

For me, that is a hard, hard yes.

And I bet a lot of people are like that too.

So I need to change that up front because I don't get the opportunity to do that, nor does anybody else.

But I can...

change my future behavior when I inform it from my past behavior and I actually ask myself hard questions and look myself in the mirror and take control of the things that I have control over which is only really myself so for everybody out there if you got emotionally involved in something you saw online this year you argue politics

Or conspiracy theories or everything in between.

And I'm not telling you you shouldn't do those things.
