Thanks so much for having me.

100%.

I mean, and I just think it's something that so many of us, like it resonates.

I mean, to be honest, like no offense even to my friends and family, but I think even canceled fun plans can lead to just that sense of relief.

Maybe that's

my introverted side speaking.

But no, I mean, we find that just in general, whatever it is that's getting canceled, even things that you wanted to do, there's that silver lining of, ooh, but I have time now and I get to decide what to do with this time.

And it feels bigger.

It feels like more is possible.

Yeah, it's really about this change from our expectation, right?

So in our studies, what we compared was exactly what you're saying, where you like expect to have 30 minutes, you know that it's there versus something gets canceled or ends early.

And you go from the expectation of I'm not going to have time to suddenly now I do.

And we do find it's that change from our expectations that leads to these psychological and behavioral outcomes.

Pretty much anything as long as it's that change from our expectation.

Got it.

Right.

So, you know, if we expect to gain time, like we have a ton of forewarning or something gets canceled way out into the future, it's going to feel like less of a gain.

It's going to be less of that windfall than that sudden.

I was completely expecting to be booked up for the next hour.

And now I have this time to decide what to do.
