Episode notes

i-Report: How can we apply this to everyday life? I was thinking about one way that you introduced into our family a similar type of system. We were trying to regulate screen time a little bit better and not have it feel so react iv or, you know, just where the kids would ask constantly to watch it until they wear you down. You could get a token for 30 minutes of screen time. And if you had any tokens at the end of the week, you could redeem it for money,. 50 cents per token, if i remember right. That's what changed the culture and brought about these tremendous results.

If your life is anything like mine, you probably have far more problems than you can solve in one day. It’s easy to become overwhelmed.

When this happens, it is often our most important relationships that suffer.

But the good news is there is a solution. Taking just a few moments to celebrate small wins, especially with those that matter most, can change the equation in your favor.

In this episode, my wife Anna and I explore concrete ways you can reinforce good behavior at home, avoiding the temptation only to see what someone is doing wrong, and how to use microbursts of effort to improve your relationships.
