Chapter 1: What did the host learn from doomscrolling?

0.222 - 36.988 Host

It happened. I did it. I take accountability for it. I woke up at 8.30 a.m. on time. I was ready to go into the day with a fighting spirit. And instead, I spent an hour 30 doing this. Finger wagging. One video after and next. I can't even tell you what they were. But I did it. I doomscrolled today. I'm not proud of it. I told myself I wouldn't and I did. But this isn't the first time.

feeling good mountain because sometimes when you do things and in the morning you just you make a couple mistakes you don't feel good for the rest of the day and it's down the drain three words we keep moving I repeat these three words when I feel like there's no hope when I feel like it's over before it's even begun The day starts, I'm ready to go, and the doom scroll hits.

100.584 - 124.878 Host

The dopamine, oh, it's so good. I can't even remember what I watched, but it's so good. I hop in the shower, and I'm thinking about it. Why did I do that? Why did I do that? I had a whole day planned. Why did I do that? Doesn't matter. We keep moving. I know we keep moving, but I was there.

Chapter 5: How to prevent doomscrolling in the morning?

124.958 - 164.895 Host

I could have just stood up, gone and made a little coffee in the morning, get my things going, go into my journal, knock off my to-do list. We keep moving. We keep moving, but I failed. We keep moving, really. I'm behind now. Do you not understand that? I'm behind. The whole day is over. No. We keep moving. I keep telling myself this as I'm going through this morning.

Because what is there else to do? Sure, I can sulk in the fact that the morning wasn't good and now it's 3 p.m. and I'm doing things that I should have done at 11 a.m. at 3 p.m. But we keep moving. Not every day is gonna be a perfect start. You're gonna have things planned. You're gonna have an idea of what you want. Man, I cannot wait to finger paint this morning.

264.629 - 288.108 Host

I'm going to wake up before work and I'm going to look through my photos that I have in my iCloud because I have three terabytes of them and I need to delete it before they charge me extra. And you don't do it. We keep moving. There's always time. It might be later in the day. It might be another sacrifice.

You might not be able to watch your show because you got to finish what you told yourself you would do. That's life. But if things are going wrong and you allow yourself to keep tumbling, it's only going to make things worse. We keep moving forward. Like a train. So what? We had to make a stop. We had to let some passengers go. We had to take care of business. But we keep moving.

If you keep telling yourself that you keep moving and you keep going, you will get it done. If you keep telling yourself, listen, it is what it is. I forgive myself. Whatever. I doom scrolled. Yes, I did. I indulged in something I was trying to not indulge in. I went back to a bad habit that I didn't want to go back to. Okay. We keep moving. Learn from it.

362.398 - 400.251 Host

why did that happen what caused it to happen for me easy fix i'll be sleeping with my phone i gotta put my phone in another room i gotta use my alarm clock because i can't be trusted i can't trust it the phone right next to me recipe for disaster because this is how it is right i'm sleeping Okay, alright, I click my alarm. Huh. 40 notifications? Don't mind if I do.

401.491 - 435.568 Host

And it was only going to take 5-10 minutes to check them. Really. Only 5-10 minutes. More like two hours. Because then it turns into a video and then it turns into looking through your photos and texting your friend back and it just dominoes down. But we keep moving. If you adopt this kind of mindset, even the days that are just down in the dumps, you can make something out of them.

436.569 - 462.269 Host

And those are the days that are the hardest, bro. Like, the days where everything's going right, it just doesn't even feel real sometimes. It feels like AI. It feels like ChatGPT. Hmm, yes, I will have a successful day today. Great. But the days that are really the most human, that no GPT can synthesize for you, no AI can generate, are the days that suck. The days that you wake up late.

462.629 - 499.754 Host

The days that feel like they're going on forever. And it's only like 1, 2 p.m. And you're like, oh my God, this is going to be a rough one. But even in those days, you already know we keep moving. These phrases are great. You can use them and that's awesome. Zerky, these phrases are great, bro, but what if I feel cooked? Like, what if I was supposed to do something and... You do it anyways.
