Summary In this episode, Jeff discusses two articles: one on streaks and streaking by Professor Danny Weathers, and another on teenagers' obsession with YouTube and social media. He explores the characteristics of streaks, including their unchanging performance and temporal parameters, the attribution of completion to personal resolve, the perception of uninterrupted activity, and the quantification of duration. Jeff also highlights the motivation and structure provided by streaks, their relevance to identity, and their potential to facilitate the completion of New Year's resolutions. He emphasizes the importance of guiding teenagers and ourselves in using social media intentionally and finding inspiration through user-generated content.   Takeaways Streaks require unchanging performance and temporal parameters, personal resolve, perception of uninterrupted activity, and quantification of duration.
