You know, January is the time of New Year's resolutions and restarts and re-energizing yourself. And I was just re-watching with my family the Boys and Girls episode, and Jan has a quote where she says, dress for the job you want, not the job you have. Oh, yeah.

Chapter 2: How can small tasks lead to greater happiness?

212.52 - 230.153 Angela Kinsey

Yes. Then I'm getting the toilet paper. Yes. So the other day it sprung out and it like snapped my finger. Like it, I don't even know how I did it, but it like kind of hit, you know, when you hit your fingernail at an angle that then it feels like a nail bed bruise. Where's the win in this story? It's coming.

230.815 - 231.937 Angela Kinsey

But have you ever done?

0

232.017 - 232.598 Jenna Fischer

Yes, of course.

0

232.618 - 256.456 Angela Kinsey

Yeah. So then your fingernail hurts. I was like, to hell with these things. I'm done. And I was like, Josh, there's got to be a better solution. There's got to be a better way. And he found the, now look, there's some toilet paper holders that's just a hook and you just slide it on. Yeah. He found one that's like a little arm that goes, it just lifts up.

256.896 - 271.002 Angela Kinsey

You put the roll on and it just clicks back down. Oh, so guess who has those in all the bathrooms? Minus one. We didn't count them up enough. But yeah, we've got them in almost every bathroom now. Wow.

Chapter 3: What are some examples of little fixes that lead to big wins?

271.103 - 273.888 Angela Kinsey

I know. No more springy thing. I'm done with the springy thing.

0

274.569 - 278.878 Jenna Fischer

Gosh, that is big win. I can't tell you how much happier I am. Yes.

0

278.978 - 282.505 Angela Kinsey

Now we're out of toilet paper. I'm like, I don't have to deal with the spring anymore.

0

282.974 - 293.729 Jenna Fischer

Amazing. Well done. Wow. So I want to look for these, like, little things. And the effort that it took, it was minimal. It was minimal. Because that's all I got. I got minimal effort to make little fixes.

294.009 - 298.175 Angela Kinsey

Josh found them at the hardware store. We just swapped them out. Unscrewed the other ones, put the other ones in.

298.495 - 309.951 Jenna Fischer

I love it. All right. Well, listen, for this Friday Chit Chat, we are going to you all. We've got a Chit Chat suggestion from Freya in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. What is Freya going to ask us? I don't know.

309.971 - 311.293 Angela Kinsey

Let's hear it. Let's hear it.

312.337 - 347.085 Freya

Hi office ladies. My name is Freya and I am from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. And I love your podcast. I listen to it every day when I visit my patients. I'm a home health nurse, so I drive a lot. And my question is, what is your ideal date or like an ideal romantic date with your significant others? And Cassie and Sam, please answer this as well. Thank you. I love you guys. Bye.

347.622 - 360.912 Jenna Fischer

Oh, yes. Okay. I remember this. I remember choosing this one and I had said something at dinner. I said, oh, I'm going to be sharing on the podcast what my ideal date is with my significant other.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts share their ideal date ideas?

736.719 - 738.484 Peter

So you don't have to worry about that.

0

739.612 - 757.317 Jenna Fischer

Well, you know, this is a very loaded question. This is in Mike Schur's book. Remember his book? It's the How to Be Perfect, The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question. And Mike talked about this. This is like a litmus test. Oh. I looked it up just now because I wanted to get it right.

757.297 - 771.836 Jenna Fischer

And it says, in a nutshell, the shopping cart theory of morality states that an individual's capacity to self-govern depends on whether or not they are the type to return a shopping cart or leave it next to their car or elsewhere.

0

772.657 - 786.975 Angela Kinsey

I always return it. I return my shopping cart. Same. Also, I think let's address how you return it to the little cart caddy thing. Do you just kind of slam it towards it so it bounces off the side and doesn't really go in?

0

786.995 - 787.135

Mm-hmm.

787.283 - 791.515 Jenna Fischer

Like you've done it, but you've done it half-assed, as my dad would say. Don't half-ass it.

791.535 - 802.882 Angela Kinsey

Don't half-ass it. That's something I say to the kids all the time. It's like, yeah, you unload the groceries and like the apples are in the little baggie. Go the extra mile. Finish it.

802.902 - 804.365 Jenna Fischer

Lady, you know that's our thing.

804.485 - 805.226 Angela Kinsey

That's our thing.
