If you would like additional framing: you have only 30 seconds to prepare and you can talk for 10-30 minutes.

At the beginning of my talk, I would have everyone turn off their phones and any other electronics. Then for the rest of the 15 minutes, I would have us all just sit around and veg out.

No talking, no distractions, no demands. Just day dream about whatever. You can take a nap if you like. You probably need one if you do.

And then my "talk" would end with "Let's try this every day."

    I also add a walk into the mix. No phones, no TVs, no computers… nothing with a screen - I do this every day and it’s easy because I now live in Spain and that’s the life here after 7pm. But in the USA i was the weird one.

    Speaking of, it’s 8am Saturday here. So I’m off to do nothing. See ya
