WEBVTT - Second Cup: It might not take that long

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Good Morning, This is Law. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Today's tip is that it might not take that long.

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 2>When we don't want to do things, we often overestimate

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 2>their time cost, but a little awareness can go a

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 2>long way. So I don't wear a ton of makeup.

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 2>I've always preferred a more natural look, but I've realized

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 2>over the last few years that i feel more confident

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>when I'm wearing at least a little something. Last year,

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I did two sessions with a makeup artist who helped

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 2>me buy more flattering products and learn how to put

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 2>them on. So you think I would want to take

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.959
<v Speaker 2>advantage of that education, but on work from home day

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>or if the morning seemed rush, I'd often think I

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.839
<v Speaker 2>don't have time for this. Then I decided to see

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.680
<v Speaker 2>how much time my makeup actually took, and the truth

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>is that putting on a little foundation concealer, a blush stick, eyeliner,

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 2>and mascara takes maybe three minutes in the bathroom in

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 2>the morning. It is the rare morning when I don't

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 2>have three minutes to put on makeup, so I have

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 2>just started doing it as the default. And it doesn't

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 2>take as much time as I think. There are plenty

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:43.279
<v Speaker 2>of things that probably don't need to take much time, flossing, fully,

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 2>washing your face, emptying the dishwasher, making a bed, as

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 2>long as you don't have a million.

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Throw pillows on there. If we don't enjoy something, it's

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>easy for it to expand in the mind until it

0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>seems like a huge time commitment. And we're all so

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to take on anything big. If you

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>truly don't enjoy something, I'm not saying you have to

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>do it. Plenty of people live fulfilling lives without wearing makeup,

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and that is wonderful. But if you do decide it

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.799
<v Speaker 1>would be better to do something, be sure to check

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:25.359
<v Speaker 1>how much time it will take. Many things don't take

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>a ton of time, or at least don't need to.

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I am well aware that people can spend an hour

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.080
<v Speaker 1>or more on their makeup, but that seems a bit steep.

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I think this is the eighty twenty principle here. A

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.839
<v Speaker 1>few minutes can get you most of the way there,

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and for an average day, that's probably good enough. What

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>have you built up in your mind as taking a

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of time? How much time does it actually take?

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.920
