00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: Good Morning, This is Law. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: Today's tip is that it might not take that long.

4
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: When we don't want to do things, we often overestimate

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: their time cost, but a little awareness can go a

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: long way. So I don't wear a ton of makeup.

7
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: I've always preferred a more natural look, but I've realized

8
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: over the last few years that i feel more confident

9
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: when I'm wearing at least a little something. Last year,

10
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: I did two sessions with a makeup artist who helped

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: me buy more flattering products and learn how to put

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: them on. So you think I would want to take

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 2: advantage of that education, but on work from home day

14
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: or if the morning seemed rush, I'd often think I

15
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 2: don't have time for this. Then I decided to see

16
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: how much time my makeup actually took, and the truth

17
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: is that putting on a little foundation concealer, a blush stick, eyeliner,

18
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: and mascara takes maybe three minutes in the bathroom in

19
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: the morning. It is the rare morning when I don't

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: have three minutes to put on makeup, so I have

21
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: just started doing it as the default. And it doesn't

22
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: take as much time as I think. There are plenty

23
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,279
Speaker 2: of things that probably don't need to take much time, flossing, fully,

24
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: washing your face, emptying the dishwasher, making a bed, as

25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: long as you don't have a million.

26
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Throw pillows on there. If we don't enjoy something, it's

27
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: easy for it to expand in the mind until it

28
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: seems like a huge time commitment. And we're all so

29
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: we don't want to take on anything big. If you

30
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: truly don't enjoy something, I'm not saying you have to

31
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: do it. Plenty of people live fulfilling lives without wearing makeup,

32
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: and that is wonderful. But if you do decide it

33
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: would be better to do something, be sure to check

34
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: how much time it will take. Many things don't take

35
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: a ton of time, or at least don't need to.

36
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: I am well aware that people can spend an hour

37
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: or more on their makeup, but that seems a bit steep.

38
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: I think this is the eighty twenty principle here. A

39
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 1: few minutes can get you most of the way there,

40
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: and for an average day, that's probably good enough. What

41
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: have you built up in your mind as taking a

42
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: lot of time? How much time does it actually take?

43
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,920
