Chapter 2: What are the five ways to save 20+ hours per week?
Yeah. And I do always keep in mind, it's like, even if I don't want to do it now, future me also isn't going to want to do it. So one of us has to bite the bullet.
And at least future me will benefit from what I've done.
Okay. My obsession of the week. So a recent study out of the University of Sydney published in the Lancet Public Health found that walking 7,000 steps a day offers similar health benefits to walking 10,000 across most key outcomes. Love that. Yeah. So compared to 2,000 steps a day, they tested this by increasing by 1,000 step increments.
And they found that 7,000 steps is actually like where you hit most of the benefits that you would in walking a day.
Yeah, it's kind of like the benefits cap at 7,000. You get the same benefits from walking 7,000 as you would 10,000.
Yes. Walking 7,000 steps a day reduced the risk of death by 47%, which is almost identical to the benefit seen at walking 10,000 steps a day. dementia risk dropped by 38%, which when you walk 10,000 steps a day was only 7% extra. And then the risk of type 2 diabetes fell by 22% from walking 10,000 steps, but reduced by 27% at 12,000 steps.
And the researchers in this also made the point of saying that perfection isn't the goal and it's more about progress because even if a bump from 2,000 to 4,000 steps a day saw really significant health gains so I do I feel like we hear this 10,000 step word count a lot yeah and I personally am always like oh I never hit that I'm a failure
It's really hard, especially if you work in an office job or anything that requires you to sit at a desk or if you're a teacher and, like, yeah, you're standing for a lot of the day. But, you know, it's kind of just walking around your classroom. Like, it's not achievable for everyone.
Yeah. Like, if you hit 10,000 steps a day, stunning, amazing, brave. If you hit more than that, 10 out of 10. Yeah. But – It's nice that kind of that goalpost rather than increasing, which I just think we say so often. It's like, no, you need to exercise more and you need to drink more water and blah, blah, blah. It's actually like, let's bring that down a little bit. Yeah.

Chapter 3: How can the four song rule save you time in the morning?
Okay, it's on the tin.
Yeah. So context switching is the mental process of diverting your attention from one task to another before you finish the first task.
Yeah. I don't know if I can control this one. I know. But we'll... Which I do want to flag. Yeah. Definitely. As someone with, you know, a focus...
struggle straight totally totally we'll see but but i think let's get into it because maybe we can find some ways that if you do you know have adhd or anything like that maybe we can we can lock in together yeah but what's interesting is that this is different from multitasking Oh, see, that's just what I thought this was.
Yeah, so multitasking is when you're trying to do multiple things at the same time. So in context switching, you're rapidly moving your attention from one thing to another. So there's repeated pausing, reorienting and adjusting to information relevant to each task.
So multitasking is intentional, whereas context switching... is not intentional.
Yeah, whereas multitasking would be if you're driving and then you're calling somebody at the same time.
You're kind of like ticking two things off at once, whereas context switching is like you're quickly moving in between tasks and not working on them at the same time, but your mind is kind of like zigzagging in between, which is interesting because I think I always thought they were kind of the same thing as well, right? So context switching can lead to something called attention residue, right?
I know. I was like, ew, I don't like that.
