Ep. 496: Make the Most of the First 3 Weeks, Use an Alarm & Cope with Exploitation of Obligers
We discuss research suggesting that during the first three weeks with strangers in
a new environment (such as a cruise or college), we have a special window for
making friends. We also talk about why setting an alarm can alleviate restlessness
and anxiety, and we address a question from an Obliger about how to deal with
the fact that members of her family don’t do their share.

Halfway Day Reminds Us to Review Our “24 for 24” Lists
Sounded like a great experience!
I cured NY husband of the "I don't care, whatever you want" habit by then choosing something he truly disliked....EVER9 time.
What the heck language is this?!
We have 4 generations of recipes, sewing patterns and gardening notes in my family. The problem is is half of them are written in short hand with no known translations 😂
🙋♀️ Oh, my! Will transcribe!
I bet thats very interesting but wow that handwriting 😅 Id read it once and type it out to archive it
My aunt was married to a Robert Hartsell. She was born in '29, I assume he was born sometime in the 20's as well.
Brucie Wayne?! You're related to BATMAN?!??!!
Lovely personality, seems like very nice people to be around. Laughing and having fun, that’s what life is all about.
as a rebel i think you only half got us
My husband's grandfather kept those diaries as well- although he generally did single year diaries... he recorded every penny he spent each day: $.03 newspaper, .10 bus fare, $1.00 pork chops, etc. as well as messages to his family: ie: "And how are you , little Brucie Wayne, on this, the second day of your life." ❤❤❤
I just started on my third five year journal. Hopefully mine will stand the test of time too.
Heather is a narcissist, hopefully she doesn’t hurt her children anymore
My son now has a career in video games. I used to worry when he was young. I play too as a way to relax.
I disagree with the tone of your message that seems to imply that in the end, what seems loss of time might serve something”productive”. I am so happy when I play video games, that is what I want to do most of my time until I die. That and loving my husband. Follow your bliss, productive or not. I’m 62 years old. I feel gratitude for being in a lifestyle which enables me to play so much video games. After my husband, it is the second thing that fills my heart with joy. Thank you life for video games. And thank you life, for the talents of all the artists and techies who create them.
I enjoyed hearing of your adventures.
Difficulties to say no remind me of my absolute favourite line in (not just) the first episode of Friends. When asked if she would help with Ross' move Phoebe answers: "I wish I could but I don't want to." Yeah, that makes me chuckle every time I think of it because I like a twist in one sentence but also the confidence to say no. Great writing.
It's nice to see your faces again. I've missed them in your regular podcast.
It’s not just the pleasure of giving, it’s also taking on some of the labor of deciding. A strong opinion takes a lot of pressure off. Optimally a dinner proposal has at least one concrete opinion, but one element flexible, like I would love Italian food tonight, then the other person can say great, I just bought basil, let’s have pesto. Or, I want chicken, great, let’s make kebabs.
I am so happy I listened to this episode … This is something i have thought about a lot. I started immediately creating my words - Neutral Elegant Trend. I can’t wait to start clarifying my style.
How about more Time hacks- Finding the time to exercise. Thanks
You did NOT originate that quote! How offensive!!! Fix it.
Happy Friday
❤
I’m with Elizabeth I am in a deep sleep longer when I nap , I sleep very much light at night
I am currently reading the book. ❤
Why would anyone do anything without first questioning it? Can’t fathom not questioning expectations and just ‘upholding’ them
I can control
Ann Lamott is the could be your best friend, wise, funny guru of life. ❤
Be reasonable, sometimes its no. Its not negativity, its just sometimes the answer is no. Don't create a monster that wants things said exactly how they want to hear them. They have to go to school and deal with others and eventually they grow up. They really need to know how to deal with the word no.
Yes you should shove that fork into the outlet
❤
I did not say no unless I had to and my child knows they’re loved, they’re a priority and they can trust me
I also have to learn to say no though, because I always say yes😅
A lot of parents just correct the negative behavior and don’t give suggestions on what to do instead. They’re a new human with big emotions. All they know is scream. So instead of “stop screaming” parents can say “I can’t help you if i don’t know what’s wrong. Screaming won’t tell me what’s wrong, your words do”. It only works after they calmed down tho, hard to listen when you’re screeching
Love your content. Hope you get to do longer videos soon. Even interview people we suggest!
OK, I'm only four minutes into this video, and I'm blown away. Such epiphany into my life and my frustrations in life!
This is a really interesting way to put it. It will make you more positive too because you arent saying "No" all the time
Add
I totally agree. Why are there only 2 comments? This is important stuff!
You need to get hold of some Wainwright's guides to where you're walking. They are AMAZING! And most people wear everyday socks with walking socks on top. Remember a tick-removing tool, long trousers (pants) if you're walking in long grass to avoid getting any ticks in the first place. Yes it might rain, but it also might be scorching so just think Girl Guide/Girl Scout and Be Prepared!! Hope you have a wonderful time.
This is so sweet and genuinely good advice
I gotta try the spin the wheel.
So you’re saying when he aggravates me, I shouldn’t punch him in the throat. Dang, I didn’t know.
Thank you for this video! I think your idea of 23, 23 is amazing! A great way to experience nature and get outside 🌲🌸
What a difference a 10-minute walk outside can do for the mind.
I would've loved this type of interaction growing up! ❤️
My mom just continues to dismiss me and cast me asside in place of my sister. My small advances for affection are met with annoyance and begrudged 'interest'
I love this!!! My daughter and I have always had “our” shows. Now that she’s married and moved across the country, we still “watch” them together. ❤️
Heather has aged very gracefully (her and Dr. Terry Dubrow), always looks good. Good video - she is always very positive, and seems really nice, and is always really good on The Show. Surprised this doesn't have more views.
