One thought on “024: Wedding Season Done Right

  1. Dear Stephanie, yes, all wonderful ideas, I am all for everything good and sustainable. I can’t understand why on earth would anybody use plastic plates and plastic cutlery at the wedding? I come from Romania and over here it would be very impolite to do that. We use the finest China and the finest silverware. We don’t mind washing up. Just a few weeks ago we had a graduation meal for my son and we had over fifty guest, that meant 50 X 2 plates – main course and desert – + 50 glases, cutlery, serving plates and bowls. Before I noticed two girls washed up half the plates and later on someone else did the other half. It is really so easy, there is no excuse for using disposables.

The Cost of Constant Connection

In this era of relentless connectivity, taking an exit ramp from our digital lives has never looked more inviting. In fact, emerging science is now confirming what many of us feel: Smartphones are draining our cognitive reserves, shattering our focus, and keeping us in a state of low-level chronic anxiety.

To see if there’s a better way, reporter Courtney Lindwall shelved her iPhone for a $45 Nokia flip phone. Courtney is on the show today to discuss  the "dumb phone" movement, the logistical friction of navigating an app-dependent world, and why research says our brains are so desperate for a break.

Here's a preview:

[7:00] Continuous partial attention, instinctual muscle memory, and other ways in which our smartphones are working against us

[9:00] Gray scale? screen limits? Here's why the tools and tricks don't work for the vast majority of us

[14:00] Thoughts on our emotional attachments to our phones—and the emotional experiences they provide

[22:00] The psychological benefits of embracing a bit more "friction"

[33:00] Our brains are malleable, and we get used to a new normal quite quickly. Lean into that!
