1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: You don't know what's going on. So what I'm living 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: my life on autopilot? Is that what you're telling me. 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 2: That's exactly what I'm telling you. It's actually not me 4 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: telling you. It is a new study nearly ninety percent 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 2: of your daily life runs on autopilot. I can see that. 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 2: How much? 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: What percent? 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 2: Ninety percent? It's actually eighty eight percent, So nearly ninety percent, 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: no kidding. About two thirds of your behaviors are triggered 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,959 Speaker 2: by habit rather than a choice you just do it. Exercise, 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: this is the one that surprised me the most. Exercise 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 2: is more often triggered just by habit, But when you're 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: in the middle of doing it, you're making a conscious 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: effort to get to a certain point of the exercise. 15 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: Like Okay, I'm going to go for a walk. That's 16 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: just based out of habit. But to say I'm going 17 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: to walk a mile today, I want to get up 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: to a mile and a half tomorrow's two miles. Yeah, 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: that's the effort that you put in. 20 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 3: What would you say are the things that you do 21 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: every day that are on autopilot? What's like the like 22 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 3: the standard routine for you? I mean, obviously I would have. 23 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: Seen my morning coffee. Coffee in the morning, and you know, 24 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 2: just like how I get ready for bed at night. Yeah, 25 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 2: you know, brushing your teeth, washing your face, that sort 26 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: of thing. It's just like the same way. It's just 27 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: on repeat. I would think like a lot, a lot, 28 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: like even how I blow dry my hair and apply 29 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: my makeup, and just the way I drive into work 30 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: unless there's a detour on Washington. 31 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's fascinating. 32 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 3: It's like my life when I was self employed for 33 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 3: all those years, Like I had no boundaries, and I 34 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 3: recognize when you spend very early on. Like some people 35 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 3: start businesses, but they're started like in the confines of 36 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 3: like some sort of structure because they go get loans 37 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 3: or whatever. They got to make it work, They got 38 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 3: to set up some sort of you know, corporate environment, 39 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: even small businesses, et cetera. 40 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: Mine was one hundred percent. I started in my bedroom. 41 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 3: I started with no money from anybody, so there was 42 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 3: always just like owe anybody anything from the get go, 43 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 3: and it was always just like, Okay, I need this 44 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 3: amount to live and I'm doing better than that and 45 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 3: I'm good at saving money. 46 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: So I kind of just don't like. 47 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 3: Being accountable to anybody, and I realized the complete chaos 48 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: of my existence from about the ages of twenty two. 49 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: Really until I ended up here. 50 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: Now, I had the little derailment at the state government 51 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: for two years. It's part why I was so frustrated 52 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: with the state was everything was so structured, even if 53 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 3: it didn't make sense, Like structure's fine, but if structure 54 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 3: for just structures saging, it doesn't make any sense. I 55 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 3: used to fight with those guys all the time, like 56 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 3: this is the most inefficient way to run anything. 57 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: Well, this is the way we've always done it. 58 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 3: Yep, but that doesn't make any sense, Like I don't 59 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 3: need you must be here my favorite thing. 60 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: That's true. Story. So I think the hours. 61 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 3: Were eight to four thirty and they gave you thirty 62 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: minutes for lunch. And my job when I was the 63 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 3: Pharmacy board director because the agency had didn't want me 64 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: and was sort of thrust upon him by higher ups. 65 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 3: They were trying to get me at everything, and so 66 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 3: like they were monitoring like the lunch to make sure 67 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: it was it was like thirty two. 68 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: Minutes they were gonna it was pretty micro. 69 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 3: Oh, it was a hell of an environment to work 70 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: in case surprised it didn't go better, right. But my 71 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 3: point in all this was I used to tell those guys. 72 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: I was like, this is the. 73 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: Most poorly run operation in the whole world because people 74 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 3: have no flexibility to actually do the jobs. 75 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: Like when I was working, I would work full bore 76 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: for three or. 77 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: Four hours and be like, all right, I'm coming back 78 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: to this in you know, two or three hours, right, 79 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: And I would be obviously very productive running my business, 80 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 3: et cetera. But when you have these structures that don't 81 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: fit around the people's talents or the way they operate, 82 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: the best you get, you get failure. So all of 83 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: this to being said, I've always done horrible in the 84 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: structured environment, but now I have a superstructured environment because 85 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 3: I have a little tyrant to look after every single 86 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: day and my schedule evolves around hers. 87 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. One of the things that they say most 88 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: people do just on autopilot is check their phone. Is 89 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: there a certain time of day, you. 90 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: Know, all day? 91 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, as soon as we get off the air. It's 92 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: not even waiting until we get off the air. Many times, 93 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: while we're on the air, many times in mid conversation, 94 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 2: you'll look down at your phone. 95 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, but they say they're not ignoring you. 96 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: People just do that automatically. There are certain things with 97 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 2: your phone, like brushing your teeth is another one. Driving 98 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: is another one.
