00:10passed, his dad passed away, and this was right before the pandemic, and he said to me, he's like,

00:25is what we're doing urgent? And so in thinking about that balance, can you work another four
00:31hours tonight, or can you maybe allocate that four hours to tomorrow to get it done, right, and rest,
00:38right? The same thing with your personal life, right? Like, oh, maybe I scale back, I leave work
00:44early so I can go, you know, get flowers for my lady or whatever, you know, whatever the case may be,
00:50maybe I can go to the gym and take care of yourself. I think it's all about in finding the balances
