And I know it's good for me, Casley.

I can already feel myself as I'm 48 hours away from Saturday morning going, oh, do I really want to get in the car and drive 45 minutes and then go to their house and talk to people that I love?

Or would I rather sit in my pajamas and my sweatpants on my couch and

and spend five hours searching through short-form videos, because let's be honest, you're not going to do the thing that you think you're going to do.

You're going to sit on your rear end and do nothing.

And there are times where you're tired or you're sick or you're this and that, but I can feel it.

I wouldn't have picked that up at all, by the way.

And I'm just telling that story because I want to normalize the fact that I think even when you're going to see people that you care about, it is so easy to use the excuse, I don't feel like it, I'm tired.

And we all know that you feel better.

Nobody wants to go see somebody after a full day of work, and yet you feel more energized after having dinner with a friend.

And so, you know, I went a step further because after 73% of you admitted, yeah, I find myself canceling plans, not because anything's happened.

I'd just rather stay home and be alone.

I thought, okay, well, what is the reason you're canceling plans?

And you did not disappoint.

Holy smokes.

I'm holding in my hands.

And this is just the first 60 pages of responses and reasons why people canceled their plans.

We're going to go through an exercise.

And as you're listening, I'm going to narrate this because in front of Casley are two glass jars.

One says excuse and the other says need.
