Mindsip insights from this episode:
Revisit original iPhone purpose beyond constant engagement
Steve Jobs' original intention for the iPhone was to combine an iPod and a phone, not to create a device for constant engagement, which came later with the App Store and social media.
Limit unrestricted internet access for children until age 16
The emerging cultural mindset, based on research, is that children should only get unrestricted internet access after puberty, around age 16 or older.
Reflect on your life vision through an annual birthday hike
On your birthday each year, take a full day to go on a hike and work through your vision for your life.
Charge more per hour to reduce workload
Instead of scaling up a business as you get better at your craft, you can choose to charge more per hour and simply work less.
Establish sleep rituals to regain control as new parents
New parents often create elaborate sleep rituals not because they are most effective for the baby, but because they provide the parents with a sense of control during a chaotic time.
Prioritize unmeasurable values over counting metrics in life
Relying on measurable things like step counts to feel progress can cause you to lose sight of the most important, unmeasurable things in life, such as being a good parent.
Choose dancing over gym for cognitive benefits and brain growth
Studies show older adults get more cognitive benefits and brain growth from dancing than from equivalent circuit training, likely due to combining music, social, and coordination components.
Maintain cognitive stimulation to prevent decline after early retirement
Multiple studies suggest that the earlier you retire from a cognitively stimulating job, the earlier you may get cognitive decline if you don't replace that stimulus.
Set a timeline for grieving betrayal to avoid unhealthy patterns
While it can be healthy to grieve an affair for nine months, continuing to do so after 18 months likely means you are creating unhealthy habit patterns.
Recognize regret as a manifestation of perfectionism
The emotion of regret is a form of perfectionism because it's based on the false idea that you could and should have made perfect decisions in the past.
