1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: Say, have you ever felt depressed about work? Only to 2 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: have your dad be like, why you're so down? So 3 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: you told him you hate your job and he said, well, 4 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: you better talk yourself out of it. And then you thought, hmm, 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: I love to talk. I could host a podcast. And 6 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: then you went to Speaker from my Heart and started 7 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: a podcast and got good at it, then monetized it, 8 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: then quit your boring job and told your dad thanks 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: for the advice. And he was like, well, that's not 10 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: what I meant, and I don't understand what a podcast is, 11 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: but you seem happy, So that's great, kiddo.

Good morning, This is Laura. 27 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to the New Corner Office, the podcast where we 28 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: share strategies for thriving in the new world of work. 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: We're location and ours are more flexible than in the past. 30 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: Today's tip is to embrace your weekends. Yes, even now, 31 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: make Saturday different from Tuesday. Even if you spend your 32 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: time in the same place on Saturdays and Tuesdays, you 33 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: don't need to spend your time in the same way. 34 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: There's a great scene in the TV series Downton Abbey 35 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: when a young lawyer offers that he can visit on 36 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: the weekends. An aristocratic older lady asks, what is the weekend? 37 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: With a life of leisure, the day of the week 38 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: makes no difference to her. If every day is defined 39 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: by pleasure and relaxation, then your life might as well 40 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: be a series of Saturdays. But if you're listening to 41 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: this podcast and aiming to maximize your productivity, my guess 42 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: is that in normal times, you are keenly aware of 43 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: week days and you get a lot of good work done. 44 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: In normal times, you would never mistake a Sunday for 45 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: a Wednesday. But these are not normal times. For many people, 46 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: it's become hard to distinguish the days from each other. Now. 47 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: This might not be the case if you've got kids 48 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: home with you who are thrilled to get two days 49 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: off from their zoom classes. But if it's just you 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: or mostly adults in your household, it's easy to find 51 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: yourself working on Saturday and Sunday as if they were 52 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: no different from the Thursday and Friday you just worked 53 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: your way through. Now, I will never tell people not 54 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: to work on a weekend if you don't have a 55 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: religious prohibition against it. There's nothing inherently wrong with catching 56 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: up on some tasks on a Saturday, or as I'm 57 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: doing right now, writing podcast scripts at seven am on Sunday. 58 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: But for most people to be able to work remotely sustainably, 59 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: it's helpful to maintain some sort of weekly rhythm. To 60 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: be at our best, we need times to rest and recharge. 61 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: Over the longer term, you will probably get more done 62 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 1: if you're not working a normal work schedule seven days 63 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: a week. To keep work from taking over your weekend, 64 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: you need to do two things. First, if you find 65 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: yourself board, find something non work related to do. Yes, 66 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: this is more challenging if you live in a place 67 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: where leaving the house is still problematic, but it is 68 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: still possible. Remind yourself of your leisure options. Go for 69 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: a walk, call a friend, get absorbed in a good 70 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: book or in practice music, fire up the grill and experiment. 71 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: Don't think of this as frittering away time you could 72 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: be working. Instead, think of it as cross training. Athletes 73 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: often devote time to complementary sports. A runner might bike 74 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: two days a week to maintain a robic capacity while 75 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: minimizing wear and tear. Likewise, as you putter in your garden, 76 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: you might think of some design concepts to incorporate in 77 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: your work. Effort Ful fun I seldom wasted. Second, if 78 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: you do need to work over the weekend, or if 79 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: you'd like to invest time in a bigger professional project, 80 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: set some time aside specifically for that. I'm working from 81 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: five thirty am to eight thirty am on Sunday morning, 82 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: so the rest of the day is open. If you 83 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: don't have young kids, you probably don't need to get 84 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: up that early. But if you know that you'll work 85 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: from four to eight pm on Sunday, then you can 86 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: resist the urge to check email the rest of the weekend. 87 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: There's a time for work and it's not now. You'll 88 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: be more focused and efficient and feel more relaxed. Of course, 89 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: part of making weekends special is not treating weekdays like weekends. 90 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: I probably don't have to tell you this, but you're 91 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: best off creating a challenging but doable to do list 92 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: for Tuesday, Wednesday and the rest and knocking those items out. 93 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: If you spend the day surfing the web or organizing 94 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: the pantry, then you'll feel behind and feel like you 95 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: need to work all of Saturday, and the cycle gets messy. 96 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: Building a weekly schedule with time for work and time 97 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: for everything else makes success and personal fulfillment possible, and 98 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: that sounds good to me any day of the week. 99 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: In the meantime, this is Laura, Thanks for listening, and 100 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: here's to succeeding in the New Corner Office.
