Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: Good Morning, This is Law. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: Today's tip is that it might not take that long.

4
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: When we don't want to do things, we often overestimate

5
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: their time cost, but a little awareness can go a

6
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: long way. So I don't wear a ton of makeup.

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: I've always preferred a more natural look, but I've realized

8
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: over the last few years that i feel more confident

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: when I'm wearing at least a little something. Last year,

10
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: I did two sessions with a makeup artist who helped

11
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: me buy more flattering products and learn how to put

12
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: them on. So you think I would want to take

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: advantage of that education, but on work from home day

14
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: or if the morning seemed rush, I'd often think I

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: don't have time for this. Then I decided to see

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: how much time my makeup actually took, and the truth

17
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: is that putting on a little foundation concealer, a blush stick, eyeliner,

18
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: and mascara takes maybe three minutes in the bathroom in

19
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 2: the morning. It is the rare morning when I don't

20
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: have three minutes to put on makeup, so I have

21
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: just started doing it as the default. And it doesn't

22
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 2: take as much time as I think. There are plenty

23
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: of things that probably don't need to take much time, flossing, fully,

24
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: washing your face, emptying the dishwasher, making a bed, as

25
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: long as you don't have a million throw pillows on there.

26
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: If we don't enjoy something, it's easy for it to

27
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: expand in the mind until it seems like a huge

28
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: time commitment. And we're all so we don't want to

29
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: take on anything big. If you truly don't enjoy something,

30
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you have to do it. Plenty of

31
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: people live fulfilling lives without wearing makeup, and that is wonderful.

32
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: But if you do decide it would be better to

33
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: do something, be sure to check how much time it

34
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: will take. Many things don't take a ton of time,

35
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: or at least don't need to. I am well aware

36
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: that people can spend an hour or more on their makeup,

37
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: but that seems a bit steep. I think this is

38
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: the eighty twenty principle here. A few minutes can get

39
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: you most of the way there, and for an average day,

40
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: that's probably good enough. What have you built up in

41
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: your mind as taking a lot of time? How much

42
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: time does it actually take? You can let me know

43
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,880
