WEBVTT NOTE This file was generated by Descript 00:00:00.330 --> 00:00:02.130 Burnout can dang near kill you. 00:00:02.190 --> 00:00:02.970 It is real. 00:00:02.970 --> 00:00:05.010 It is prevalent in the roofing space. 00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:10.770 It ruins marriages, causes divorce, has people turn to alcohol, drugs, or 00:00:10.770 --> 00:00:13.170 other unhealthy behaviors to disconnect. 00:00:13.410 --> 00:00:18.060 And if you're not careful, it will sneak up slowly until one day you reach a 00:00:18.065 --> 00:00:20.310 breaking point that you cannot ignore. 00:00:20.370 --> 00:00:25.800 And at that point it is too late and your two choices are to quit or bear down and. 00:00:26.015 --> 00:00:30.935 Find a way through it, and it's often in the hardest time of your life, like the 00:00:30.935 --> 00:00:33.095 two times that I experienced burnout. 00:00:33.545 --> 00:00:36.245 But before I share those stories, this video is for you. 00:00:36.245 --> 00:00:40.145 If you are someone who is nearing burnout right now, this video is for you. 00:00:40.145 --> 00:00:44.315 If you're someone like me who jumps outta bed, wildly passionate racing through 00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.245 the day, it's nine o'clock at night and you just wish there was more time, but 00:00:48.245 --> 00:00:53.135 that feeling is melting away and being replaced by pure dread and drudgery. 00:00:53.535 --> 00:00:56.595 And this video is for you owners and managers and leaders. 00:00:56.745 --> 00:01:00.165 When you're witnessing this in, in your team and you know that they've been 00:01:00.165 --> 00:01:05.384 busting their butt and they just need some, some kind of a way and a path to tap 00:01:05.384 --> 00:01:08.655 back into that passion that they had that you're watching just kind of fall apart. 00:01:08.955 --> 00:01:13.485 So if you're in any of those camps, Watch this video and please share it because 00:01:13.485 --> 00:01:18.134 it can help all of us survive burnout and enjoy our life in roofing sales so 00:01:18.134 --> 00:01:23.205 we can smash our income goal and give every customer an amazing experience. 00:01:23.210 --> 00:01:26.295 Welcome or welcome back, Adam Zeman here and thanks for joining me today. 00:01:26.475 --> 00:01:31.125 The reason that I do what I do is because in my estimation, 66% or so 00:01:31.125 --> 00:01:35.475 of first year roofing sales reps quit or get fired, and burnout is an often. 00:01:36.155 --> 00:01:36.815 Cause of that. 00:01:36.815 --> 00:01:38.135 And some people burn out really early. 00:01:38.315 --> 00:01:41.015 And for those that do survive, many of them burn out later. 00:01:41.195 --> 00:01:45.905 And it again ends up in divorce, alcoholism, uh, destroyed relationships 00:01:45.905 --> 00:01:49.805 that aren't ending in divorce, poor health problems and more. 00:01:50.045 --> 00:01:53.135 So in this video, I wanna share with you two really quick stories of how I. 00:01:53.740 --> 00:01:57.640 Burned out and the most recent one was within about a month ago. 00:01:57.850 --> 00:02:01.510 But the, the big life adjustments that I've made, and you can say, Hey, great. 00:02:01.510 --> 00:02:03.640 I'm watching a video from a hypocrite who burned out twice and I was gonna 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:04.780 tell, teach me how not to burn out. 00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:08.770 Well, the point is I'm not a saint, but I do believe that I'm on the path upwards. 00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:11.831 And I know that from the feedback from the people around me because this video 00:02:12.130 --> 00:02:15.340 is actually inspired inadvertently from John Comerford on our team. 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.895 And John said to me, Adam, You've got like a zen about you lately. 00:02:18.895 --> 00:02:21.115 You're calm, you're focused, you're present, you're here. 00:02:21.115 --> 00:02:24.475 It's like a new version of you, and it's largely in part to these seven 00:02:24.475 --> 00:02:27.715 different tips I'm gonna share with you that will help you avoid burnout. 00:02:27.745 --> 00:02:29.575 So let's get started now. 00:02:29.575 --> 00:02:30.775 First, quick story. 00:02:30.925 --> 00:02:37.075 Uh, I, in my past life when I was in roofing sales, I became hyper 00:02:37.075 --> 00:02:38.845 focused on financial gain and growth. 00:02:38.845 --> 00:02:43.585 And I, I got really messed up in my head where I tied my net worth to my. 00:02:43.890 --> 00:02:47.970 To my personal worth, and I remember being on a treadmill before I, uh, 00:02:48.030 --> 00:02:51.030 by the way, before I stopped using the treadmill, because a 12 ounce 00:02:51.030 --> 00:02:52.860 curl was a much easier way to relax. 00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:55.650 I remember being on a treadmill, running, visualizing my next 00:02:55.650 --> 00:02:56.760 financial goal, hitting it. 00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.070 I mean, if that's not screwed up, I don't know what is. 00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:03.000 Quickly thereafter, I ended up saying, Hey, that's too hard to work out. 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.829 Let's just jump to the old 12 ounce curl. 00:03:04.829 --> 00:03:05.519 That's easier. 00:03:05.910 --> 00:03:07.380 I ended up gaining 30 pounds. 00:03:07.950 --> 00:03:10.560 Uh, my health slid, my personal relationship slid. 00:03:10.739 --> 00:03:14.130 I chased money and I ended up in the ICU thinking I was having a heart 00:03:14.135 --> 00:03:15.510 attack before I was even 30 years old. 00:03:16.060 --> 00:03:17.440 With a chest infection. 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.740 And that chest infection is, when I say chest, that's the, 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:22.390 uh, sac surrounding your heart. 00:03:22.690 --> 00:03:24.430 And they said it's heavily linked to stress. 00:03:24.610 --> 00:03:26.080 And the outcome was, you'll be fine. 00:03:26.110 --> 00:03:27.370 It'll hurt, whatever, it'll go away. 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.700 Or option two, they need to go in and actually relieve the pressure and the 00:03:30.705 --> 00:03:32.380 fluid buildup from that infection. 00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:34.060 And again, heavily linked to stress. 00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:36.430 So the, the nurse comes over, she goes, are you under any stress? 00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:37.630 I'm like, honey, sit down. 00:03:37.630 --> 00:03:38.230 Grab a notepad. 00:03:38.230 --> 00:03:38.620 Let's chat. 00:03:39.220 --> 00:03:41.290 So the answer is stress is not good for you. 00:03:41.830 --> 00:03:44.950 Next time I burned out, which was not too long ago, it was about a month ago, 00:03:44.950 --> 00:03:48.970 and it was coming off the tail end of the highest stress time in my life, speaking 00:03:48.970 --> 00:03:51.550 at 50 different events in 26 weeks. 00:03:51.550 --> 00:03:52.270 So it's six months. 00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:53.590 I spoke at 50 events. 00:03:54.040 --> 00:03:57.040 Um, Bouncing off in from literally coast to coast. 00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:00.700 Like I went from Philadelphia to la, uh, all over the place, 00:04:00.700 --> 00:04:01.900 two to three events in a week. 00:04:02.050 --> 00:04:06.340 I did have Christmas and New Year's off, but high stress, high pressure to perform, 00:04:06.490 --> 00:04:11.110 lowest sleep, especially with time zone changes, poorest diet and no time for, 00:04:11.140 --> 00:04:14.020 for fitness and really no personal life because I was only home a few days a 00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:17.560 week and I was trying to get caught up with, with my business and my personal 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:18.760 life, and then back on the road again. 00:04:19.470 --> 00:04:24.930 So, uh, during that time, which then later led to high, extremely high levels 00:04:24.930 --> 00:04:29.970 of anxiety, anxiety attacks, which I had never had, uh, as an adult before. 00:04:29.970 --> 00:04:31.800 I had them as a child, but not as an adult. 00:04:32.130 --> 00:04:34.800 And it was just a, it was a, it was a horrible, horrible thing. 00:04:34.980 --> 00:04:36.030 And it was a wake up call. 00:04:36.035 --> 00:04:39.030 So, uh, I'm not sitting here preaching as a saint, like I've 00:04:39.030 --> 00:04:40.050 got everything figured out. 00:04:40.200 --> 00:04:41.490 Zen meditation guru. 00:04:41.575 --> 00:04:43.555 But what I am sharing is practical advice that's helped 00:04:43.555 --> 00:04:44.545 me, and I hope it can help you. 00:04:44.755 --> 00:04:48.445 And I do hope that you can contribute by dropping a comment in the comment section 00:04:48.445 --> 00:04:50.604 below, sharing your tips to avoid burnout. 00:04:50.784 --> 00:04:52.645 So let's jump right into tip number one, shall we? 00:04:52.974 --> 00:04:56.155 Uh, tip number one is probably the most important, uh, change you can make. 00:04:56.425 --> 00:04:59.695 And it's this little thing, your phone, get it outta your bedroom. 00:04:59.835 --> 00:05:03.775 Uh, what we often do is we have it set on our end table, and it's our alarm. 00:05:04.455 --> 00:05:05.175 And it buzzes. 00:05:05.235 --> 00:05:06.315 And then we wake up and we're like, oh. 00:05:06.645 --> 00:05:08.715 And we turn the alarm off and then we see our, our phone 00:05:08.715 --> 00:05:10.095 calls, missed calls, voicemails. 00:05:10.245 --> 00:05:12.885 We have our text messages, we have our team chat, and then we have our 00:05:12.885 --> 00:05:14.835 emails, and then we, we we're into it. 00:05:14.835 --> 00:05:17.835 And then we're in reactive mode, absolutely instantly. 00:05:17.985 --> 00:05:21.015 The first, second of the day, we literally wake up to work. 00:05:21.195 --> 00:05:22.936 We wake up in reaction mode. 00:05:23.085 --> 00:05:23.955 I gotta do this, I gotta do this. 00:05:23.955 --> 00:05:25.785 And then we're frantic and we're anxious. 00:05:25.815 --> 00:05:28.185 So what Sheena and I say is, there's no contraband, meaning 00:05:28.185 --> 00:05:29.835 your phone allowed in our bedroom. 00:05:30.315 --> 00:05:33.495 We keep our phones plugged in, in the laundry room, which is a separate room. 00:05:33.635 --> 00:05:36.094 We have alarm clocks in the room. 00:05:36.365 --> 00:05:36.935 That's it. 00:05:37.295 --> 00:05:38.555 Now I get up. 00:05:38.615 --> 00:05:42.215 I don't have this stuff, uh, fully flushed out on today's agenda, but with 00:05:42.215 --> 00:05:45.875 my morning routine, I don't even go in my laundry room to get my phone until I'm 00:05:45.875 --> 00:05:48.215 done and ready to actually start my day. 00:05:48.425 --> 00:05:50.885 So tip number one, get your phone outta your bedroom. 00:05:50.885 --> 00:05:54.965 Buy a digital alarm clocking, get 'em on Amazon for stupid, stupid cheap. 00:05:55.485 --> 00:05:56.055 All right. 00:05:56.265 --> 00:05:58.125 Tip number two is boundaries. 00:05:58.275 --> 00:06:01.635 If you're anything like me, I used to respond to calls all the time, day, 00:06:01.635 --> 00:06:05.805 night, weekend, text messages, coming in, emails all the time, and someone once 00:06:05.805 --> 00:06:10.305 said to me, Adam, you teach people or train people how to communicate with you. 00:06:10.485 --> 00:06:13.675 If you respond on a Sunday at 6:30 PM they expect to respond 00:06:13.675 --> 00:06:15.465 at seven when they email back. 00:06:15.705 --> 00:06:18.155 So instead, what you can do is simply. 00:06:18.630 --> 00:06:19.680 Set boundaries. 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:21.510 You can do that in your email signature. 00:06:21.750 --> 00:06:25.320 I check email Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM That's it. 00:06:25.350 --> 00:06:26.340 I'll get back to you during then. 00:06:26.550 --> 00:06:29.370 All right, then in your voicemail, what about this example? 00:06:29.550 --> 00:06:31.170 Hey, thanks for calling Adam, the roof strategist. 00:06:31.530 --> 00:06:32.640 Thank you so much for calling. 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:37.320 I check my voicemails Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM If this 00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:39.120 is an emergency, please shoot me a text. 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:40.170 We'll get you taken care of right away. 00:06:40.170 --> 00:06:41.370 Thank you so much again for calling. 00:06:41.400 --> 00:06:42.270 I can't wait to serve you. 00:06:42.615 --> 00:06:42.915 All right. 00:06:42.915 --> 00:06:46.725 Just something like that where it says, here's the timeframe in 00:06:46.725 --> 00:06:48.435 which I'm available to serve you. 00:06:48.495 --> 00:06:50.685 And that way for the people that push back at me and they say, 00:06:50.685 --> 00:06:51.885 Adam, what about an emergency? 00:06:52.065 --> 00:06:52.905 They'll call twice. 00:06:53.175 --> 00:06:54.795 If you say it's an emergency, text me. 00:06:54.975 --> 00:06:57.855 You're going to look at it and see, okay, crap, there's a leak. 00:06:58.005 --> 00:06:59.235 I gotta go run this thing. 00:06:59.240 --> 00:06:59.285 Right? 00:06:59.565 --> 00:07:01.605 Or some, the crew just fell through the roof. 00:07:01.605 --> 00:07:02.865 Something crazy happened. 00:07:02.870 --> 00:07:03.675 I gotta jump on it. 00:07:04.065 --> 00:07:05.685 All right, so that's number two is boundaries. 00:07:06.525 --> 00:07:08.955 Tip number three is sleep. 00:07:09.405 --> 00:07:13.515 I drank, started to drink the Kool-Aid that like sleep was for the week and 00:07:13.515 --> 00:07:16.604 that, you know, the real people get up and start their day at three in the morning 00:07:16.905 --> 00:07:19.094 and I became, I was inching my time up. 00:07:19.094 --> 00:07:24.224 I became a about a 5 35 5:00 AM to 5:30 PM natural wake up time. 00:07:24.525 --> 00:07:28.125 I started inch it sometimes about 4 45 or so, but I kept finding that 00:07:28.125 --> 00:07:29.565 I'd go to sleep a little bit later. 00:07:30.010 --> 00:07:33.130 And then I, I started finding that I was just really draggy all the time. 00:07:33.430 --> 00:07:35.560 Uh, my brain wasn't like working properly. 00:07:35.919 --> 00:07:38.950 I just saw David Goggin speak at the Owens Corning Platinum Conference, 00:07:39.010 --> 00:07:43.240 and he said I, that he was, you know, surviving on minimal like. 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:45.090 Two hours of sleep a night. 00:07:45.090 --> 00:07:47.340 For many years, his adrenals went haywire. 00:07:47.344 --> 00:07:49.530 It's called adrenal fatigue, and it turns out it's a real thing. 00:07:50.099 --> 00:07:51.210 And that was happening to me. 00:07:51.270 --> 00:07:53.370 And he says now it's eight or nine hours of sleep. 00:07:53.370 --> 00:07:54.180 Non-negotiable. 00:07:54.390 --> 00:07:55.650 So now I have a bedtime. 00:07:55.650 --> 00:07:57.780 I'm in bed between eight 30 and nine. 00:07:57.960 --> 00:07:58.980 Lights out at nine. 00:07:59.010 --> 00:07:59.960 My alarm goes off at six. 00:08:00.780 --> 00:08:04.170 And I used to be ashamed to say, oh, I sleep, uh, I sleep until six o'clock. 00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:04.860 Well, guess what? 00:08:05.070 --> 00:08:05.970 I sleep until six. 00:08:05.970 --> 00:08:07.740 I do a meditation while I'm laying in bed. 00:08:07.950 --> 00:08:10.770 Instead of zipping myself up, I calm myself down. 00:08:11.250 --> 00:08:13.110 And that leads me to tip number four. 00:08:13.350 --> 00:08:17.340 So tip number four, after I wake up for my eight to nine hours of sleep. 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:21.599 And I do my meditation instead of, again, waking up, grabbing my phone, being 00:08:21.599 --> 00:08:25.169 zipped up into phone mode, and then drinking coffee and getting zipped up. 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.510 I zen out and do my meditation to calm down. 00:08:27.690 --> 00:08:29.820 And then David Goggins inspired this one as well. 00:08:29.940 --> 00:08:32.610 He says, I do something that sucks every single day, and for me that's running. 00:08:32.909 --> 00:08:35.000 And I began to run every single morning. 00:08:35.515 --> 00:08:36.475 Get my workout in. 00:08:36.564 --> 00:08:38.635 Doesn't matter how cold it is, doesn't matter how crummy it is. 00:08:38.664 --> 00:08:39.205 I'm out there. 00:08:39.475 --> 00:08:40.345 I had a flight the other day. 00:08:40.345 --> 00:08:44.005 It was, I had to leave for like 7:00 AM I got up, I went to bed extra early, got 00:08:44.005 --> 00:08:45.955 up about five or five 30, I can't recall. 00:08:46.194 --> 00:08:49.045 I threw a headlamp on, I live in the middle of nowhere in the mountains. 00:08:49.225 --> 00:08:51.115 It's pitch black in 20 degrees out. 00:08:51.115 --> 00:08:54.806 And I went for my three mile run cuz that was part of my, my self care. 00:08:55.770 --> 00:09:01.140 So exercising first thing, cuz otherwise, if we exercise after work for many 00:09:01.140 --> 00:09:04.709 people, I know some folks are good with this, but for me, after work, I'm tired, 00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:06.540 I'm hungry, I'm ready to eat dinner. 00:09:06.810 --> 00:09:11.849 And then I, instead of getting my workout in, I'm, I'm like, well, I gotta go eat. 00:09:11.854 --> 00:09:15.000 But then that takes time and then it's too late to work out or I eat and then 00:09:15.005 --> 00:09:16.740 I'm too full and I don't wanna work out. 00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:17.610 Cause I feel like I'll barf. 00:09:17.790 --> 00:09:19.979 So I just get it in and I don't have to worry about it later. 00:09:20.069 --> 00:09:20.410 All right. 00:09:21.015 --> 00:09:23.954 There's tip number four, exercise, first thing in the morning, 00:09:23.954 --> 00:09:24.675 whatever that means to you. 00:09:24.675 --> 00:09:25.694 If you're not a runner, who cares? 00:09:25.875 --> 00:09:28.245 Go lift weight, sit on a rower, go for a walk. 00:09:28.454 --> 00:09:31.574 I started doing this, by the way, by simply going for a walk, ease into 00:09:31.574 --> 00:09:32.895 it, and then it turned into running. 00:09:33.435 --> 00:09:34.605 All right, tip number five. 00:09:35.055 --> 00:09:36.645 This is more of a recent one for me as well. 00:09:36.935 --> 00:09:39.515 And it's reading something non-work related to disconnect 00:09:39.515 --> 00:09:42.875 from the day I got lost in these fantasy books, and I love it. 00:09:42.875 --> 00:09:44.225 I get lost in this new world. 00:09:44.225 --> 00:09:48.185 I felt weird, like a, like a, like a bizarre teenager, like a dork. 00:09:48.425 --> 00:09:52.145 And then I, now I'm, I've finished this one, it's like 750 pages or something, 00:09:52.150 --> 00:09:54.786 and it was like, I'll try something new, but there's a second one in the series. 00:09:54.790 --> 00:09:55.635 Let me try the sample. 00:09:55.985 --> 00:09:59.375 Well now I'm halfway through that, Sam, that second book and there's 00:09:59.375 --> 00:10:00.814 a third one, but I love that. 00:10:01.290 --> 00:10:02.910 I get sucked into this story. 00:10:02.910 --> 00:10:03.990 I'm not watching tv. 00:10:03.990 --> 00:10:05.280 I'm lost in a new world. 00:10:05.490 --> 00:10:08.670 I disconnect and then I just, I fall asleep and I love it. 00:10:08.699 --> 00:10:09.390 It's amazing. 00:10:09.420 --> 00:10:10.589 And I wish I had done that earlier. 00:10:10.594 --> 00:10:13.439 So there's tip number five, reading something to disconnect 00:10:13.800 --> 00:10:14.550 each and every night. 00:10:14.939 --> 00:10:17.819 All right, that's not business related cuz I used to do that at night and then my 00:10:17.819 --> 00:10:19.650 mind's spinning all night long with ideas. 00:10:20.910 --> 00:10:26.339 Tip number six is planning an organization every single day. 00:10:27.450 --> 00:10:30.750 Doesn't end like today, will not end until tomorrow is planned. 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.500 So tonight, by the time I'm done with work, and I'm filming this now at, 00:10:34.530 --> 00:10:39.660 uh, five, just drive 5:40 PM my day will not be done until I finish this. 00:10:39.690 --> 00:10:42.960 I look at what I'm doing tomorrow, when my meetings are, and what tasks 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.060 I need to get done, and I'm organizing my day, what gets done when, and now I 00:10:46.290 --> 00:10:47.730 know exactly what I'm doing tomorrow. 00:10:47.910 --> 00:10:50.760 And in fact, I already have most of my week pre-planned from last week 00:10:50.940 --> 00:10:52.440 as I'm going through everything now. 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:53.460 What does that mean to you? 00:10:53.805 --> 00:10:55.215 Plan your day the night before. 00:10:55.395 --> 00:10:57.345 Every day you plan the next day. 00:10:57.615 --> 00:11:00.255 That also means batching your time in your mornings. 00:11:00.255 --> 00:11:03.405 You wanna do your non-income producing activities, meaning you 00:11:03.405 --> 00:11:06.675 can't be selling it's seven to, you know, 10:00 AM in the morning. 00:11:07.065 --> 00:11:09.855 What we wanna be doing is our administrative work, our 00:11:09.855 --> 00:11:11.475 maybe our follow up emails. 00:11:11.485 --> 00:11:14.545 Some follow up calls with with folks on their way to work, so I 00:11:14.545 --> 00:11:15.745 guess that is income producing. 00:11:16.015 --> 00:11:20.095 You could be doing your supplements, your paperwork, updating your crm, all those 00:11:20.095 --> 00:11:23.365 activities that kind of bog you down, get 'em outta the way at the right time. 00:11:23.515 --> 00:11:26.695 So when you do get busy, all that stuff can get filled up with the real 00:11:26.695 --> 00:11:30.805 income producing activity, your sales appointments, generating leads, knocking 00:11:31.005 --> 00:11:32.885 doors, meeting with insurance adjusters. 00:11:33.245 --> 00:11:36.845 Again, storm retail doesn't matter, but planning your day in organization. 00:11:37.055 --> 00:11:41.945 And on that light, one of the, the pro tips that I have is when you are 00:11:41.945 --> 00:11:45.965 working in roofing, uh, in roofing sales, what we end up doing, and 00:11:46.205 --> 00:11:48.755 for many of us is time just fills. 00:11:48.814 --> 00:11:51.965 And then we try to like sprinkle in our personal life around work, but then 00:11:51.965 --> 00:11:53.525 we get busier and busier and busier. 00:11:53.525 --> 00:11:55.235 So those sprinkle times dwindle. 00:11:55.295 --> 00:11:58.115 And then a year, two years, the five years, 10 years goes by, you're 00:11:58.115 --> 00:11:59.375 like, I haven't taken a vacation. 00:11:59.615 --> 00:12:01.175 Which happens to me, by the way. 00:12:01.175 --> 00:12:03.340 It was like, Up until this year, I think it was like three 00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:04.600 years before I had a vacation. 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:08.740 And instead, sheen and I sit down and we have planned out 00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:10.390 our entire year vacations. 00:12:10.390 --> 00:12:12.190 We just got back from a four-wheeling trip to Moab. 00:12:12.195 --> 00:12:12.820 It was amazing. 00:12:13.090 --> 00:12:16.090 Okay, our we're going to to on a vacation, to Cabo. 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.400 We're gonna go see my family for a family reunion. 00:12:18.990 --> 00:12:21.150 We saw her family, which was pre-planned for a lake house 00:12:21.150 --> 00:12:22.500 weekend and we rented a lake house. 00:12:22.829 --> 00:12:25.920 All of these things are pre-planned, so that way when work gets 00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:27.180 busy, we just work around it. 00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.839 So if you're someone that feels like work, just kind of overwhelms you, 00:12:31.050 --> 00:12:33.870 pre-plan your stuff and, and you'll just work your stuff around it. 00:12:33.875 --> 00:12:34.620 I know it'll be scary. 00:12:34.625 --> 00:12:36.839 It was scary as heck to me, but I promise it'll work. 00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:41.250 Which leads me to tip number seven in my absolute favorite one. 00:12:41.490 --> 00:12:45.060 This comes up a lot in the studies of anxiety and health and 00:12:45.060 --> 00:12:48.060 wellness, uh, which is having fun. 00:12:48.210 --> 00:12:50.340 Go do something that is fun. 00:12:50.490 --> 00:12:52.080 You need to fuel yourself. 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:52.740 People would tell me this. 00:12:52.740 --> 00:12:53.490 I'm like, that's boring. 00:12:53.495 --> 00:12:53.910 Just work. 00:12:53.910 --> 00:12:54.300 Get it done. 00:12:54.300 --> 00:12:54.720 Let's go. 00:12:54.750 --> 00:12:59.880 And now I've found just such rich refueling of living life. 00:13:00.280 --> 00:13:02.229 And speaking of fun, that's why we went to Moab. 00:13:02.290 --> 00:13:04.060 I mean, I just got back last night. 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.010 Sheen and I, we hooked up our four-wheeler. 00:13:06.099 --> 00:13:10.089 Her mom and her and her, her stepdad came out and we went out and just were 00:13:10.089 --> 00:13:13.270 in the desert and it was gorgeous views. 00:13:13.449 --> 00:13:16.810 We had some super fun four-wheeling, one really sketchy spot where everyone got 00:13:16.814 --> 00:13:19.540 out because if I was an inch over, I'd roll hundreds of feet down a mountain. 00:13:19.810 --> 00:13:20.860 Really not a fun time. 00:13:20.895 --> 00:13:21.465 Whew. 00:13:21.495 --> 00:13:22.725 Makes me sweat thinking about it. 00:13:22.905 --> 00:13:25.425 But we had a blast and we built that time in. 00:13:25.574 --> 00:13:26.925 So do what fuels you. 00:13:26.925 --> 00:13:27.525 Have fun.

00:13:33.465 --> 00:13:33.915 My friends. 00:13:33.915 --> 00:13:37.295 I just went to see the Northern Lights in Alaska, uh, not long ago. 00:13:38.415 --> 00:13:39.405 This winter is in March. 00:13:39.410 --> 00:13:43.515 And again, built that in right after my, my breaking point, by the way. 00:13:43.515 --> 00:13:44.835 It's what, what prompted that one? 00:13:45.194 --> 00:13:46.574 Uh,

outta your bedroom, get an alarm clock. 00:13:52.245 --> 00:13:55.395 Number two, set boundaries on your phone, uh, in communications for 00:13:55.395 --> 00:13:57.525 your voicemail and your email.

in the morning. 00:14:05.340 --> 00:14:08.490 Number five, when you go to bed at night, read something that allows you 00:14:08.490 --> 00:14:12.720 to get lost in a world and disconnect, and don't read business books at night. 00:14:13.140 --> 00:14:16.290 Number six, plan and organize your days. 00:14:16.380 --> 00:14:17.020 Plan the night before. 00:14:17.490 --> 00:14:19.860 Structure in all
