Source Article: How to Quarantine Like a Champ
Theme Song: “Yawn” by Nick Dorian
0:00 - I start off the show by briefly telling you what this pod will be about, and why I wanted to post this now.
2:14 - I read from the beginning of my post, wherein I talk about why it’s important to focus on our lives right now, and how we’re living them--both for our productivity, and for our own mental health.
4:31- My wife Morgan and I talk about our relationship and our time spent quarantining. We share a guilt about having such a great time quarantining given how awful the world is right now, but agree that remaining positive and following the rules are really all that we can do.
7:05 - I read from my article about first and foremost, consciously adding variety to your day as you’re quarantining. I discuss why it’s so vital to break up the monotony with this, and I provide a lengthy list of things you can fill your life with so that it’s not so boring and stupid when in quarantine.
9:25 - I talk to Morgan about how she’s adding variety into her days, and she emphasizes the importance of this, because it can be so easy to burn out on whatever you’re dead focused on in this situation.
10:42 - I read from my article about the importance of scheduling, and why it enforces good daily decisions.
12:04 - Morgan and I agree on their way of “things to do” scheduling, and I discuss more about how scheduling keeps you conscious of your decisions.
13:53 - I read from my article about the importance of building and maintaining social connections while in quarantine, and why this can be the best time for your social life because you have the time to reach out, and so does everyone else.
16:19 - Morgan and I discuss more about our high functioning quarantine family, as well as why it’s so important to reach out right now however you can to everyone who occurs to you.
18:26 - I read from my article about getting your shit together. This section is all about dealing with the various piles in your house, and clearing them out so that your life can function while in quarantine.
19:14 - Morgan and I discuss her priority for helping us really get our lives together during the quarantine, and I discuss why doing this during the quarantine isn’t only convenient, but entirely necessary
21:20 - I read from my article about how this is the time to start building the habits and becoming the person you want to be right damn now. There is a quarantine friendly version of everything, and it’s incumbent on you to figure out what that is.
22:22 - Morgan and I discuss how we’ve attempted to be better versions of ourselves in quarantine after I admonish the listener of one nearly universal truth once again: that you can find the quarantine friendly version of whatever change you want to make.
24:34 - I read from my article about the importance of examining your life right now--both in positive and negative lights, and how coming to conclusions based on this is really how you’re going to turn your life around once you get out of here.
26:38 - Morgan goes in on explaining why it’s so important to get specific when examining your life negatively, and we agree on the necessity of maintaining a positive outlook--both in your life, and with respect to the virus.
28:38 - I wrap up the show by reminding you that I exist, by telling you about Nick Dorian, the performer of my theme song, and by teasing the upcoming major launch of this very podcast.
