**Jonathan Watson** (2:02)
Good.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (2:02)
All very good.

**Chris Williamson** (2:03)
You doing the Macarena?

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (2:06)
I don't think it's like that, is it? It's that.

**Jonathan Watson** (2:08)
That looked more like a mime artist pretending there was a glass wall.

**Chris Williamson** (2:11)
Pretending to do the Macarena.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (2:14)
I'm not very up to date with my like 90s dance.

**Chris Williamson** (2:17)
90s dance moves, yeah.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (2:19)
Venger Boys.

**Chris Williamson** (2:19)
Yeah, if it was anything after Venger Boys or Craig David's debut single, that's your most current music, isn't it?

**Jonathan Watson** (2:26)
It's like how Yusef has like one series and one film to talk about when someone's like... Within each decade. Yeah, I've seen Breaking Bad or Breaking Bad and I've seen Fight Club.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (2:38)
Do you mean either of those?

**Chris Williamson** (2:41)
Is it like Fight Club? Is it like Fight Club?

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (2:45)
I actually know pop culture very well.

**Chris Williamson** (2:47)
I have some pop culture. It is Life Hacks. We only done one new Life Hacks episode, proper Life Hacks episode in 2020 So we should have tons. I know I've got loads. I know you guys have got loads as well. Also before we started, I wanted to say thank you to everyone that's downloaded the Ultimate Life Hacks Guide. If you haven't got yours, chriswillx.com/lifehacks. Over 200 ways that you can upgrade your life. And it covers everything we've done up to now. So this is kind of like the second season, second season of Life Hacks.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (3:18)
Life Hacks, a new beginning.

**Chris Williamson** (3:20)
A new frontier. So Hot Potato, Jonny, you are up. What have you got for us first?

**Jonathan Watson** (3:27)
So mine are split between physical and digital.

**Chris Williamson** (3:31)
The OGs will know.

**Jonathan Watson** (3:34)
Yeah, if you get that joke, congratulations. Congratulations. Which one to pick? That's the thing. That's the question. Here's a really basic one.
I've got none. Yeah. That's something I've been doing recently. So I reread Atomic Habits. We all like Atomic Habits, don't we? I've read it. Yeah. I'm reading it. You're reading it.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (3:55)
Congratulations. I'm reading two books currently, Traffic Secrets and Atomic Habits.

**Jonathan Watson** (4:00)
What a set. What a setup. So I basically, this is not that relevant, but I've started eating breakfast. So while things are cooking in the pan in the morning, I basically do all of the chores in the kitchen. So I take the bin out, empty the dishwasher, wipe the surfaces, and then I kind of forget it happened and you go back in the kitchen, you're like, this is clean, this is tidy. So it's just, because I previously, the first couple of times I was doing it, I was just standing looking at the pan, waiting for it to warm up. So just using dead time like that. There was another example.
