Speaker 1: Progressive presents Forrest metaphors about bundling your home on auto

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: and sports. Three goals is a hat trick, And when

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: you bundle your home and auto with Progressive, you get

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: a hat trick of great savings and around the clock protection.

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: So you might be thinking, wait, that's two things. A

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: hat trick is three, But in this metaphor, great savings

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: counts as two goals, and so does a round the

8
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: clock protection, so it's like four goals, and that's more

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: than three. It's basic math Forrest metaphors presented by Progressive

Speaker 1: you by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: AD Council. Good morning, This is Laura. Welcome to the

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: New Corner Office, the podcast where we share strategies for

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: thriving in the new world of work or location and

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: hours are more flexible than in the past. Today's tip

28
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: is to find ways to savor your Monday lunch break.

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Monday's can be hard, but by putting something intentionally enjoyable

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: into the middle of your work day, you make the

31
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: start of the work week feel far more doable. So

32
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: if you're working remotely and flexibly, Monday's may feel better

33
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: now than they did in the past. Part of that

34
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: Monday morn dread almost always stemmed from a stressful commute.

35
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: If you're working from home, that's gone. But even without

36
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: the cold and the rain and the traffic, it can

37
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 1: be hard to transition into work mode from a really

38
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: good weekend. The next break that is, the next weekend

39
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: can seem a long time in the future. But there's

40
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: a simple way around this. Plan something fun, pretty soon

41
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: into your Monday work day, lunch offers a good spot

42
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: for this. You're only a few hours in, and anyone

43
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: can make it through a few hours, right. That's a

44
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: small wait for something you find genuinely enjoyable. There are

45
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: lots of ways to savor your Monday lunch break. I

46
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: like to plan a really good meal. We often grill

47
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: over the weekends, so my Monday lunch will be left

48
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: over steak with either veggies or on a salad. A

49
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: really good grilled steak makes a salad taste a lot

50
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: more pleasant, so this is a big win in my book.

51
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: You can order from your favorite restaurant, or if in

52
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: person dining is available, this can be a great time

53
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: to go out, maybe with any family members who are

54
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: also working from home. But good food isn't the only

55
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: option for savoring. You might intentionally build in a longer

56
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: break and go for a run or walk somewhere lovely

57
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: near your house. You can carve out twenty minutes to

58
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: read a good book or enjoy a favorite magazine if

59
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: you're working from home, Various other options present themselves to

60
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: like taking a twenty minute bubble bath or a nap,

61
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: go browse a favorite bookstore or nearby museum. Just choose

62
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: something you are genuinely going to look forward to. Plan ahead.

63
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: Don't tell yourself I'll come up with something fun on

64
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: Monday morning, you won't feel like thinking about it. Planning

65
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: ahead also allows you to spend more time looking forward

66
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: to the good stuff On Sunday night, you want to

67
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: find yourself thinking wow, I can't wait until my Monday

68
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: lunch break instead of darn Monday again. And then this

69
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: is key guard this space. Well, it is so easy

70
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: to give lunch away someone wants to meet, or a

71
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: project is taking longer than you expected. But if you

72
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: want to reap the benefits of savoring Monday lunch, you

73
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: need to trust that you won't just give it away

74
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: for nothing. You are probably better off working a little

75
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: later into the evening rather than giving up your planned

76
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: fun so today and moving forward, think about what would

77
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: make your Monday lunch break so enjoyable that Monday mornings

78
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: will start to seem exciting. If you can pull that off, well,

79
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: you will have a whole lot more happiness in your

80
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,200
