WEBVTT - Browse for a project

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:17.080
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:20.119
<v Speaker 1>tip is that when you are looking for an activity

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>for your leisure time browse for a project, you may

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>be surprised to find something fun that you didn't really

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>even know you were looking for. So, if you are

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>a reader, you are probably used to going to a

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.839
<v Speaker 1>bookstore or a library to browse. You might be reminded

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:40.880
<v Speaker 1>of a book you've been meaning to read for a while,

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 1>or something new might catch your eye, but you are

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 1>unlikely to leave without finding something you want to read.

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>For other forms of leisure, too, browsing can be a

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>great way to spark your thinking about how you'd like

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to spend your time. For instance, if you'd like to

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>work your create of muscles, you could go to a

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>craft store like Michael's and just go see what catches

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>your eye. Maybe you'll get some moregami paper and in

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:13.199
<v Speaker 1>the weekend with some fantastic boots. You could grab scrap

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>booking supplies and make a scrap book about your kid's

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>first few weeks of kindergarten. You could get paper, stickers

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and markers and make a card for your friend who

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>just got a new job. I have no idea what

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>you will find, but if you give yourself a little

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>time to wander around, no doubt something we'll catch your eye.

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Or maybe you're leaning more toward a gardening project. Head

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>to a nursery and meander admiring all the interesting plants

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 1>until you spot something that is perfect for that corner

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>of your garden that you keep meaning to address. Or

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>perhaps you love puzzles or legos. I know I do,

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>so I like to browse the puzzle table of a

0:01:56.400 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>bookstore or the lego aisle of Target. I know some

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 1>parents who take their kids to hobby Lobby or Target,

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>give them a ten dollar or even twenty dollars bill

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>and invite them to buy what they'd like to make

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the afternoon or weekend enjoyable. Adults can browse for a

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:20.519
<v Speaker 1>project just for fun too. Now, maybe this all sounds

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a little strange to you. You are thinking, Laura, I

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>do not have time to meander around a store, let

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 1>alone spend several evening or weekend hours pursuing a project.

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>And maybe that's true, But are you sure I remember

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>that In the first days of COVID stores sold out

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>of Legos because everyone suddenly discovered some font of free time. Well,

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a day still has twenty four hours. Many other things

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 1>turned out to be optional. Or you might try looking

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.080
<v Speaker 1>at the screen time function on your phone. If you

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 1>have an hour a day browse the web, you probably

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>have thirty minutes to wander around a store in two hours,

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>some time to get in touch with your project making self.

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>So the next time you recognize that you do have

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>some leisure time but also have no particular ideas of

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>how you'd like to spend it, take yourself to a

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>store you enjoy browse for a project. Who knows what

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>fun way you'll find to pass the time in the meantime.

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:36.360

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:46.800
