Totally.

Thank you, David.

Thanks for having me.

Yeah, so I think I resonate with what you were talking about.

I think I just didn't want to accept that all TV is bad.

Being on my phone all night is a bad thing.

And I also didn't want to be always on my kids' case telling them that they shouldn't be spending so much time on their phones or playing games and so on.

And so I thought that there has to be something to it where not all screen time is bad for you.

And it really depends on what you need and the situation.

And so that really led me to investigate this idea that we don't really know what the strict restrictions or prescriptions are in terms of screen time.

As in, we're telling people that they only need two hours or they shouldn't exceed two hours of screen time a day.

And I just thought there would be something more to that.

So, yeah, so recovery means, really just suggests that, you know, every day we're expending resources to do our various tasks, whether it's at work or at home or in school.

And so what we need to do when we're expended that energy is that we need to find a way to recover it, restore those resources.

And so it could be physical, it could be emotional, right?

Or it could be also either psychological or cognitive resources.

And so those resources need to be replenished in order for us to keep going again the next day.

Oh, yes, absolutely.

So I think the theory suggests that there are four types of resource recovery.

And in fact, one of the types of recovery strategies or tactics that we can use to prevent burnout and, you know, that total exhaustion that we often feel is psychological detachment, which means just sort of disconnecting, right?
