What is it like to be a Civil Procedure professor during a pandemic? Let alone a student learning to be a 1L? After repeated and strong requests from students in the fall of 2020, and in an effort to foster Dr. Mike Osterholm's "Pandemic of Kindness," Professor Franck created this podcast to offer her Section 2 students some reflections on life during a pandemic. Special thanks go to all musicians (and their recording labels), particularly Taylor Swift and Jason Mraz for the fair use of their music for our educational purposes. 

This episodes focuses on a phrase I learned from a student to help prioritize your focus and alleviate stress, namely: that is a problem for future you. The core message focuses on how to keep your focus narrow in terms of getting through your fall semester -- but also planning (or not planning!) too much for the future. I offer a few tips about how I have managed some my own stress in ways that have been fundamental to my capacity to transform positively in the midst of loss.
