<v Speaker 1>Four Red four hybrid those Highlander Highlander hybrid by Have

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>you ever felt depressed about work only to have your

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>dad be like, why you're so down? So you told

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 1>him you hate your job, and he said, well, you

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:22.959
<v Speaker 1>better talk yourself out of it. And then you thought, hmm,

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 1>I love to talk. I could host a podcast. And

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>then you went to Speaker from my Heart and started

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>a podcast and got good at it, then monetized it,

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>then quit your boring job and told your dad thanks

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 1>for the advice. And he was like, well, that's not

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>what I meant, and I don't understand what a podcast is.

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.839
<v Speaker 1>But you seem happy, So that's great, kiddo. Do you

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>ever do that? Well, you could at speaker dot com.

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.520
<v Speaker 1>That's sp r e a k E R ask your dad.

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>You actually don't. On April four, Dr Martin Luther King

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>was shot and killed in Memphis. A petty criminal named

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>James Earl Ray was arrested. Case closed right James syl

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Ray was upon or the official story. Some of the evidence,

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>as far as I was concerned, did not match the circumstances.

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>This is the MLK Tapes. The first episodes are available now.

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Listen on the I Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning, This is Laura.

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the New Corner Office, the podcast where we

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>share strategies for thriving in the new world of war,

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>where location and hours are more flexible than in the past.

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Today's tip is to spend some time thinking about your

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 1>post pandemic schedule. I know a lot of people have

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>gone through massive upheaval in the past few weeks. Job

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>losses and economic insecurity could linger for a while, but

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>in crises there's an opportunity to change things that might

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>have been hard to change before. With everything canceled for months,

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>there's an opportun unity to rebuild schedules from scratch, asking

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>what deserves to be there, rather than just trimming at

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the margins. Many of us are rethinking how we spend

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>our time these days. Sometimes this is part of necessary

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.839
<v Speaker 1>career pivots. I've spent many of my work hours over

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the past few years giving speeches at conferences. That business

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>model is definitely taking a hit this year, so I

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>need to figure out something else. Maybe you're needing to

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>pivot too, or maybe your basic job is safe but

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>working remotely for the past six weeks has made you

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>rethink what actually has to happen where you can no

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>longer picture driving an hour each way five days a

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>week to email and call people in other places. Maybe

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 1>you've realized that you desperately miss some colleagues, but you're

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of happy to be physically away from others. Maybe

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>you've been forced to take on a new job responsibility,

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>and in the process you've realized that you like it

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot better than what you were doing before. We

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 1>can have these realizations in our personal lives too. It's

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>stressful to have kids home seven, but maybe never leaving

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the house has caused you to realize that certain extracurricular

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>activities have consumed a ton of time without any corresponding

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>boost in happiness. Maybe in the future you'd be willing

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>to let these things go. In any case, take some

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>time this week to picture your post pandemic schedule. I

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>find it helpful to design a realistic, ideal week, that is,

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>a week that you could theoretically live within the limits

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>of the real world. So no flying cars. What kind

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>of work would you like to be doing, When and

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>where would you work, who would be involved? How would

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>you fill your leisure time? In your family time, what

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 1>would you put back into your life, and what isn't

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 1>worth the bother? Go ahead and create a real schedule.

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I use spreadsheets to track my time, and you might

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>try using one of these to create your realistic, ideal

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>week schedule. Mine has the days of the week across

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the top Monday to Sunday, and half hour blocks down

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the left hand side from five am to four thirty am,

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>right when you'll sleep, when you'll do your hobbies, or

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 1>a general pattern for the weekends. It's helpful to create

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>this vision because when normal life resumes, you'll be able

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to use this template as a guide. If you see

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that you and your family really do enjoy slower mornings,

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 1>this can nut you to decide that remote work is

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 1>a non negotiable at least two days a week, or

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 1>you can find a different job that's closer to home

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>or move closer to one you'd like to keep. So

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>what would you like your post pandemic schedule to look like?

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.599
<v Speaker 1>How will you spend your hours? When you know the

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 1>answer to these questions, you can turn this vision into reality.

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime, this is Laura, thanks for listening, and

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:05.000
