Sobriety and Productivity: How Living Sober Can Change How You Work with Gillian Tietz

I don't personally think that a productivity tool can change your entire life, but I do think tools can lower friction and Brain FM falls in that category. It's a functional music app designed for things like focus, relaxation, meditation, and sleep, and it's definitely worth testing out like I did and got hooked on it years ago. What I did was I chose to try it during one real focused session of work just to see if it would help me focus my attention better while I did that work. And the time flew by, I got the work done, and I've been using it ever since. for that mode and all the others I mentioned. And you can too. Try it out.

I'm your host, Eric Fisher, and this week I'm excited to revisit a conversation I had with Jillian Teetz. She is the host of Sober Powered, and this is a conversation that we had almost a year ago about alcohol's influence on the brain and how it can cause addiction and how she

quit drinking in 2019. Congratulations, by the way, to her on five years of sobriety. And in this conversation, we're talking about self-awareness. We're talking about the benefits of taking breaks from both alcohol and even caffeine. She also shares resources for those interested in exploring sobriety further. And we talk a lot about dry January. Which is why I've been coming back to this conversation in my head for a while. I can't remember the last time I had anything to drink, and in fact, I think it's literally been months, probably lots more than that, but so insignificant and so not memorable that I cannot remember. quite literally. But if you're somebody who's been considering cutting costs Because you don't want to pay for alcohol, or doing a dry January for the sake of your own health, then I highly suggest this conversation. with Jillian Teets.
