So rewind to yesterday morning. I 55 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: am standing in my kitchen and I'm doing my like 56 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: pre work beverage routine. I know that's kind of funny 57 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: that I have one of those, but basically, I'm like 58 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: half dressed for my workday after getting out of the 59 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: shower and going to the gym, and I am shaking 60 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: up a bottle of athletic greens in my left hand, 61 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: and then I am pressing on to then espresso with 62 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,799 Speaker 1: my right hand, and as that starts to get going. 63 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: I'm opening the fridge as I'm shaking the bottle in 64 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: my left hand, I'm grabbing the Brita pitcher. I'm pouring 65 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: myself a glass of water. I'm still shaking with my 66 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: left hand. When I'm done pouring the glass of water, 67 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: I realized the coffee isn't done yet. So I walk 68 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: over to my bathroom and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna 69 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: put my hair in a low bun. Meanwhile, like I'm 70 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: still holding two beverage containers, Like how many things was 71 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: I trying to do at one time to quote unquote 72 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: save time? And literally, as I'm like walking toward the 73 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: bathroom with both of my beverage containers in my hand, 74 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: I stop dead in my tracks and I'm just like, 75 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: ah M, slow down, do one thing at a time, 76 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: like going into the day. Yesterday, I knew it was 77 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: going to feel a little bit like Everest. I had 78 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: a huge feature article that I was working on a 79 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: bunch of interviews to do. Monday's episode is going to 80 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: be spoiler alert featuring Massy Arias. I'm so excited to 81 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: bring that to you guys, And I actually recorded that 82 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: yesterday with her, so I just had a lot on deck. 83 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna have to get organized. I 84 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: knew that I was going to have to focus. And 85 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: so in that moment when I was trying to do 86 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: a zillion things at once, I just kind of grounded 87 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: myself and I was like, yo, am, take a deep breath, 88 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: have some grace with yourself, make yourself, you know, get organized, 89 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: and then sit down and do one thing and one 90 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: thing only at a time period. And sometimes, like making 91 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: it that simple can be the game changer, right. I 92 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: feel like before the pandemic pre COVID, I prided myself 93 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: and being this high caliber multitasker. But the reality is 94 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: that studies have actually shown that multitasking can be bad 95 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,679 Speaker 1: for you.
