Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Steeper in the dead with dangerous deeds. It's spring cleaning
time and you might be too young to remember this,
but back in the day, the garage is where you
parked your car. A new spring cleaning pole found that
if you haven't converted your garage into an Airbnb yet,
it's a good chance it's full of junk. Thirty one
percent of Americans said their garage is at least half
full of clutter. That includes nine percent who say it's

(00:21):
so full that they can't even park it at just
twenty four percent said the garage is clutter free, and
twenty three percent said about a quarterfall remaining twenty three
percent of people said they don't have a garage. The
pole also found we use a portion of our home
for storage at least one hundred square feet for most
of us, which isn't really that big. I mean it's
a ten x ten room to store all your extra junk.

(00:42):
One in five said it's more than five hundred square feet,
which is about the size of a two car garage.
If we cleaned everything out, the top thing would use
the extra space for hobby's guest bedroom and home gym.
Seventy one percent of people said they bought something they
know they already owned, but they just couldn't find it
at the time, so they bought another one guilty has charged. However,

(01:03):
I've always kept my garages so at least clean enough
that you can park vehicles inside. I have a friend
had a single car garage so full you couldn't probably
put a toothpick in there, so he built it to
a double garage and added a big workshop on the back.
Still couldn't park in the garage portion because it was
full of stuff and there was overflow into his workshop.

(01:24):
I guess a lot of people prefer to park the
most expensive thing we own, our vehicle outside, while we
keep our junk inside deeper in the two. Well. This
sounds like the dumbest hack ever, but a new study
says it actually works. Don't want to exercise, turns out
you can get the same benefits by rushing through stuff
all the time. So this comes from a study in

(01:45):
the Journal of Circulation found that doing random tasks and
chores faster can do wonders for your health. Researchers tracked
the movements of twenty four thousand adults for about a week.
None of them were people who got regular exercise. The
ones who did minor tasks brisk please saw major health benefits.
A year later. For some, their heart attacks and stroke
risks dropped as much as half Wow. Minor stuff could

(02:08):
include stuff like speed vacuuming the raw goer walking faster
when you take out the trash. They found out even
five minutes of rushing per day makes a difference. The
idea is to get your heart pumping, and you don't
have to be pumping iron to do it. The lead
author of the study says, quote, it's a good idea
to find ways to fit exertion into your life, but
it doesn't mean you actually have to exercise. Wow, that's

(02:30):
good news. I've been going to the gym more and more,
and maybe I can skip it now because, believe it
or not, I've been rushing decisions and jumping to conclusions
and hurrying to the end of my workday. To me
again for another episode of Deeper in the Den with
Dangerous Dave light Year.
