One of the ones that stuck with me from an episode that you hoasted david on how to ditch your distractions once and for all. There was a phrase in there called serf the urge, which is when you're feeling like you don't want to do something. And so if you can just get through that ten minutes or 15 minutes, the feeling is much less salient.
Here at How To! headquarters, we give and receive a lot of good advice. This year we ran faster, kept cool in a crisis, had the best sex of our lives, stopped snoring, and even won the Olympics. The How To! team, including former host David Epstein, gathers ‘round the mic to round up our favorite advice of the year. We talk about how we applied that advice to our own lives, share some surprising updates from folks who were on the show, and give a behind-the-scenes look at how the podcast is made each week.
Did we forget to mention your favorite advice of the year? Let us know with a note at howto@slate.com or leave us a voicemail at 646-495-4001.
