Welcome to What Drives You. I'm Kevin Miller. In this episode, let's see a video of your daily viewing habits to discern your attention spending.

I'm a very visual person, even mentally. So I often think of these visual analogies to help me better conceptualize a concept.

So imagine you're watching a videotape of yourself throughout the day,

sped up, and it shows all your activities, everything you do,

and giving special attention on how much time you are looking at screens and then what

you're looking at.

How many times do you look at your phone?

How many times on your computer are you viewing, clicking back and forth to social media or

entertainment or just random information or news updates? Let's call it, I'm going to call it,

unproductive or nonproductive viewing. And do you resemble a contemplative, thoughtful, focused person or an addicted squirrel?

And I'm going to bet you're far more squirrel-like than you'd expect.

And I think I am as well.

So my recent talk with T.J. Powers about how we build up and deplete our brain chemicals just has me considering this. So I want to talk through it with you a bit. T.J.'s book again, and my muse here is the dose effect. Optimize your brain and body by boosting your dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. And you can find him on

Instagram at T.J. Power. When I'm not having these conversations on human potential, I'm working

with people on theirs. Find me at Kevin Miller.co. Here's a few sponsors that help make the show

possible. Then drive with me a bit and let's talk about what it would look like to look

at a video of yourself and see where you're spending your attention and maybe depleting your

brain chemicals for the greater work. Let's see what we can find out about ourselves today.

I remember back in the day selling products online when you do a complete website build

out, then do just as much work to get an online shopping cart going.

Now Shopify does it all.

You can upgrade your business, get the same checkout that we use with Shopify.
