WEBVTT - It might not take that long

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Good Morning, This is Law. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Today's tip is that it might not take that long.

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:24.800
<v Speaker 2>When we don't want to do things, we often overestimate

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 2>their time cost, but a little awareness can go a

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 2>long way. So I don't wear a ton of makeup.

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 2>I've always preferred a more natural look, but I've realized

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>over the last few years that i feel more confident

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 2>when I'm wearing at least a little something. Last year,

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I did two sessions with a makeup artist who helped

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.240
<v Speaker 2>me buy more flattering products and learn how to put

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 2>them on. So you think I would want to take

0:00:55.520 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 2>advantage of that education, but on work from home day

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>or if the morning seemed rush, I'd often think I

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 2>don't have time for this. Then I decided to see

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>how much time my makeup actually took, and the truth

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 2>is that putting on a little foundation concealer, a blush stick, eyeliner,

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 2>and mascara takes maybe three minutes in the bathroom in

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>the morning. It is the rare morning when I don't

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 2>have three minutes to put on makeup, so I have

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>just started doing it as the default. And it doesn't

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:37.559
<v Speaker 2>take as much time as I think. There are plenty

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 2>of things that probably don't need to take much time, flossing, fully,

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>washing your face, emptying the dishwasher, making a bed, as

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 2>long as you don't have a million throw pillows on there.

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>If we don't enjoy something, it's easy for it to

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 2>expand in the mind until it seems like a huge

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>time commitment. And we're all so we don't want to

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>take on anything big. If you truly don't enjoy something,

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying you have to do it. Plenty of

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>people live fulfilling lives without wearing makeup, and that is wonderful.

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>But if you do decide it would be better to

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 2>do something, be sure to check how much time it

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 2>will take. Many things don't take a ton of time,

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 2>or at least don't need to. I am well aware

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 2>that people can spend an hour or more on their makeup,

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 2>but that seems a bit steep. I think this is

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 2>the eighty twenty principle here. A few minutes can get

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 2>you most of the way there, and for an average day,

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>that's probably good enough. What have you built up in

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 2>your mind as taking a lot of time? How much

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>time does it actually take? You can let me know

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.880
