On today's podcast, Kristin shares how we can use our hands to create, or produce or be productive to improve our mood and live longer. She shares how using our hands activates our effort-driven rewards circuit.

And she shares why so many social media sites, dating apps, shopping apps, and our digital devices keep us mindlessly scrolling or why we end up binging a new tv show for hours.

If we want to feel better and take control over how we spend our time we've got to be intentional with how we use our devices and our hands.
