Gen-Zers: How to Re-Shape your Life

Mike, Paul and I spend a good part of every podcast talking about silly, wasteful lives that most Gen-Zers are determined to live. We don't have enough bandwidth to list all the ways that they are ruining their lives, so I will skip right to the solutions.

1. Throw your phone in the trash.

You don't need to be connected to the internet, you need to be connected to your life.

2. If you don't have the guts to get rid of your phone, limit your usage.

Two hours a day is plenty. And then only to use an OLD PEOPLE THIS WEEK approved app. What are the approved apps? Your calendar, which is there for you to fill with activities; Waze, Linked in (to help you find a job); Indeed (to help you find a job); a banking app; calculator (because you don't know how to add); apartment-finding app (so that you can move out of your parent's basement); and an exercise app, so you can start to move your lazy ass.

What apps are not approved? Clock (buy a watch); any dating app; any gaming app; any food delivery app (go to a restaurant yourself); Facebook (waste of time); Instagram (bigger waste of time); TikTok (biggest waste of time).

3. Go to work. Work hard. Keep your mouth shut.

   
   

4. Don't go home after work.

Go to a gym, go to a bar, go have a coffee, go to the park, go for a walk, go anywhere where you can interact with other people.

5. Talk to someone that you are attracted to.

Dating apps are for losers. Cowardly losers. Man-or-woman-up, go to a bar, identify someone you think that you would like to converse with, go over to them, tap them on the shoulder and talk to them. You will suck at it the first few times, but eventually you will lose your fear and be confident. Just don't be cheesy. Be honest.

6. Don't be "maxxxing" anything.

You're okay as you are.

7. Ignore influencers. They are full of shit.

Trust yourself. Listen to your gut.

8. Create a budget, and stick to it.

9. Embrace failure.

10. Find a mentor.
