07:24 - Q: How can you build these habits and these routines to help you process your thoughts and emotions? A: Because life's about emotions. At the end of the day, it's how we feel. It's not how many things we check off our to-do list. It's not how many promotions we've gotten in the past five years. It's not any of those things!

So, you're not so stressed.” - Karl Staib
