Optimizing your life, a primer on four scream live by live about of Zen habits, net. The other day, while I was visiting a friend, she offered her dog a bone. The dog wanted the bone I didn't want to drop the toy animal in his mouth to get the bone jack. You can't have both at the same time. My friend said. Most of us are like We want more than one thing I once we're not willing to. Let go one thing: in order to do another we're doing one worked: ask while trying to stay on top of email text messages in social media, we're talking with a friend I'll see what we're missing on Facebook and Instagram were eating, while planning making, while thinking about work like Jack, we think we can-

all two things in our mouths at once, but actually that's a fantasy. We can't taste of food, wealthy above all, we need to do later. Our mouths may be moving in a food might be swap but there's no awareness of how the food tastes instead, where switching back and forth between the planning and the tasting like a dog going back and forth between a bone and a toy, not content to do just one thing. At a time I like to offer an alternative full screen living, what's full screen living, it's a life where we allow one thing to take up the entirety of our attention, going into full screen, Like a video on your computer, while allowing anything else to fade into the background. Let's take a look full screen: computer work, may long term readers? No, I prefer full screen distraction, free text, editors like right room. Oh I'm writer, or to ten. They fill up your screen, so there no distractions, as you write it just to you in your text. No note of it. He no other tabs open, no other probe

I'm showing no clock or icons. I'm writing. This posed in word presses full screen editor at the moment, as well as using crumbs presentation mode, so that nothing is showing on the screen, but these words on typing naughty the menu bar the full screen work on the computer doesn't have to stop there. You can do almost anything in full screen mode. I read articles and blog posts using the instant service. Mr as in all irrelevant page elements and leaves only the text. I watch videos in full screen mode. Online videos on Youtube or video or one Satan a computer in Itunes, if I'm working browser tab, I'll that tab in a new window so that it hides any other tabs that might be open or all clothes all other tabs safe, I want to read later in the paper and closed them or make a note,

What to do list of tasks I need to do that are represented by open tabs and close the tabs when you bring whatever task you're working on or video you're watching or article you're reading into full screen mode. Everything else fades into the background. You just have the one task in front of you, the one thing to read or write, and you weren't switching back and forth between bone in toy. This means you can fully focus, can fully savour. The article can fully give you. Tension to your work. You do better when there's only one thing in her mouth or mean your attention full screen, in living. That's fine for computer work, but what about life in general You live exactly the same way if you're gonna spend time with your, I'll, don't swift between the child tab and the work tabs in the browser of your mind. Put your child into full scan

mode, and let him take up all your attention and let work and everything else you need to do later fade into the background. You'll still get the work when you're done with what you're doing with your child, but for now be fully in this one activity with this one per then, when you're done with that, he can bring you work in a full screen mode and let the rest of your life go into the background for the moment if you eat, but the food fillip to screen of your attention, not you're thinking about other things, if you're showering, let that fill your attention instead of planning russian your teeth, let the conversation red argument you had earlier fade away and just brush your teeth when you work do one task at a time. It don't just do one task at a time, but to that task, with all your attention or as much as possible and don't be thinking about the other tasks the doing ah easier said than done right. Have you let other things oh, when you were doing one thing: how'd, you focus on your choice,

I'll. Do your food instead of your work. It takes practice as with anything when you first our practicing, you won't be great at it, but you'll get better with practice. Start today. Agree practice is sitting meditation, redo, nothing but sit, and maybe just pay attention to your breath. That's difficult as our minds to throw thought. After thought out us, but noticing those thoughts can be a useful practice that is carried into all other activities in our lives beyond sitting. Try mindful cleaning where you live, and sitting in cleaning will be applicable in every other full screen activity. You do each day full screen living Necessarily easier than one, where you're constantly switching between the two halves of your mind. It takes constant practice and in fact that practices every waking moment, but if we realized, we can't have the bone and the toy in our mouth. At the same time, then we realise that by giving up, the toy will enjoy the boy

on so much more it'll be fully tasted instead of stuff into a mouth that can't taste it you just listen to the post titled timer on full screen living by Liam about then habits done that a real, quick thanks to anchor for hosting this podcast anger anchor is the easiest way to make a pie cast they'll distributor podcast for you, so it can be heard everywhere: Spotify Apple, podcast, Google, podcast and many more.

I narrated a few days back, maybe those last week about sitting and being in the present moment

and what I mentioned at the end of that episode is how let my mind wandering stern activities like showering, because sometimes I do that I'll come up with great ideas, ideas I will come up with if I purposely tried to think of a great idea and is often left out of these mindfulness posts, that the goal is to be present all the time, since as impossible, but he simply giving you ideas of where you can practise being aware present and mindful. Instead of doing formal sitting meditation practice minded cleaning, Michael showering being completely present. Precision actually listening. These are all different forms of a meditative practice and will help you become better at seeing when you're mine goes off the rails and lets a negative or unproductive thoughts cloud your mind. So all these activities, including eating their simply different ways to practise meditation but Duchesse might take on it I'll do for today. Thank you for listening and
