    How long do you spend in the shower? Do you have time to turn off your brain for 5–10 minutes? I recommend it from time to time. Sometimes I even drive to work, or especially from work, without any audio on. It’s surprisingly relaxing.

    But maybe I’m talking to one of the generations who grew up with mobile phones. I imagine it’s harder for them.

      I love the assumption that because I like a podcast in the shower I never turn off my brain. My brain does not turn off. I do seek silence to allow thoughts to flow and feel boredom, but some days my mind is too busy or in bad places and I want a distraction the whole day. There’s nothing wrong with that.

      edit: Also, no you aren’t talking to the phone generation. Though the point doesn’t matter if you were

        Why is the phone IN the shower with you to listen to a podcast? Or are you just trying to be victimized here?

        Alright, man. As long as you get some type of down time, that sounds great. 👍
