00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:02,040
Welcome to the hair of the dog podcast.
2
00:00:02,070 --> 00:00:02,880
I'm Nicole Begley.
3
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,290
And today I'm going to help you find that one holy
4
00:00:07,290 --> 00:00:10,290
grail thing that we all want,
5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,220
but seems so incredibly elusive.
6
00:00:14,970 --> 00:00:16,710
And that thing is more time.
7
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:18,510
Stay tuned.
8
00:00:19,950 --> 00:00:22,290
Welcome to the hair of the dog podcast.
9
00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:24,090
If you're a pet photographer,
10
00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:27,000
ready to make more money and start living a life by
11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:27,810
your design,
12
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,270
you've come to the right place.
13
00:00:30,270 --> 00:00:31,610
And now your host,
14
00:00:31,610 --> 00:00:33,030
pet photographer,
15
00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:34,190
travel addict,
16
00:00:34,190 --> 00:00:36,690
chocolate martini connoisseur,
17
00:00:36,690 --> 00:00:37,840
Nicole Begley.
18
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,450
Hey there everybody.
19
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:41,580
Welcome back to the podcast.
20
00:00:41,580 --> 00:00:42,650
I'm your host,
21
00:00:42,650 --> 00:00:43,810
Nicole Begley.
22
00:00:43,810 --> 00:00:47,370
And today I want to talk about that one thing that
23
00:00:47,370 --> 00:00:48,790
we all want more of,
24
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:49,680
but it's so,
25
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,160
so very hard and a super easy little hack that is
26
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:55,560
going to help you find more of it.
27
00:00:56,130 --> 00:00:57,840
Are you ready also,
28
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:58,320
by the way,
29
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,840
bonus, this is going to be a short and quick episode
30
00:01:01,170 --> 00:01:02,490
so that I don't know,
31
00:01:02,490 --> 00:01:03,660
it saves you time.
32
00:01:05,070 --> 00:01:05,610
All right.
33
00:01:06,030 --> 00:01:09,630
This episode was inspired by John a cuffs.
34
00:01:09,630 --> 00:01:11,460
All it takes is a goal podcast,
35
00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:13,170
episode number 57.
36
00:01:13,470 --> 00:01:14,910
He says it better than I do.
37
00:01:14,910 --> 00:01:18,240
So I honestly won't be offended if you want to shut
38
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,550
this down and go straight to the horse's mouth and get
39
00:01:20,550 --> 00:01:21,090
it from him.
40
00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:25,410
If you've never heard of John Aycock before he's hysterical,
41
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,420
his books are fantastic.
42
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:29,130
I just read a few months ago,
43
00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:31,110
his latest book soundtracks,
44
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:35,610
and it's about the soundtracks that are going on in repetition
45
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,850
ad nauseum in the back of our brain all the time
46
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,040
that we're saying to ourselves half the time,
47
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,340
we're not even realizing what we're saying to ourselves.
48
00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:45,540
It's a great book,
49
00:01:45,570 --> 00:01:46,530
highly recommended,
50
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,580
super entertaining,
51
00:01:47,850 --> 00:01:50,340
and a lot of impactful moments in it.
52
00:01:50,370 --> 00:01:51,510
So go check it out.
53
00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:55,880
But today I kind of want to talk about it's a
54
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,250
task that he mentions in episode 47 of is all it
55
00:01:59,250 --> 00:02:04,260
takes is a goal podcast of how to have more productivity
56
00:02:04,410 --> 00:02:05,700
to get more time of the day.
57
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,830
And it starts with something really simple because we've all heard
58
00:02:11,130 --> 00:02:13,860
that we can't measure what we don't track.
59
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:17,820
Right? Well networks with your time as well,
60
00:02:18,270 --> 00:02:21,720
because here's the thing we all have 24 hours in a
61
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,990
day. There are none of us that have like figured out
62
00:02:24,990 --> 00:02:26,340
some way to get more time,
63
00:02:26,340 --> 00:02:29,070
unless we're going to like move to someplace in space where
64
00:02:29,070 --> 00:02:32,400
the time is less because there's less gravity or some crazy
65
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,390
way, how that works.
66
00:02:34,350 --> 00:02:37,080
If you're here on earth and you're listening to this podcast,
67
00:02:37,260 --> 00:02:39,780
we all have the same amount of time.
68
00:02:40,230 --> 00:02:41,220
And as humans,
69
00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:46,020
our brains tend to vastly over commit to what we can
70
00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:46,860
get done in the day.
71
00:02:47,130 --> 00:02:48,660
And if you're anything like me,
72
00:02:48,750 --> 00:02:53,550
every single new project sounds incredibly appealing and you have major
73
00:02:53,550 --> 00:02:56,190
FOMO and you just want to get it all done.
74
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,110
And it all sounds exciting.
75
00:02:58,350 --> 00:03:02,200
And you of a sudden realize you have committed to 37,000
76
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,880
projects. Yeah.
77
00:03:03,970 --> 00:03:04,690
Yeah. I've been there.
78
00:03:06,010 --> 00:03:10,510
So there's a lot of times we just feel like overwhelmed,
79
00:03:10,510 --> 00:03:11,920
feel like we're spinning our wheels.
80
00:03:12,250 --> 00:03:15,250
And usually it's because we're just trying to fit too much
81
00:03:15,250 --> 00:03:16,090
stuff in the day.
82
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:17,170
And quite honestly,
83
00:03:17,170 --> 00:03:18,970
we don't even know how we're spending our days.
84
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,650
People often ask me Madden,
85
00:03:20,650 --> 00:03:22,030
Nicole, you work so much,
86
00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:23,140
you must work so much.
87
00:03:23,590 --> 00:03:24,220
And like,
88
00:03:24,250 --> 00:03:25,480
honestly, I don't,
89
00:03:25,930 --> 00:03:27,610
I am doing this exercise.
90
00:03:27,610 --> 00:03:29,680
So I'll be able to report back in two weeks and
91
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,900
let you know exactly how much time I spent working in
92
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:32,380
two weeks.
93
00:03:32,830 --> 00:03:35,590
But if I have a good work day,
94
00:03:35,650 --> 00:03:39,160
it's five hours and that's five days a week.
95
00:03:39,250 --> 00:03:41,650
So max 25 hours a week.
96
00:03:41,650 --> 00:03:42,100
Okay. Yeah.
97
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:44,050
I'll work on the weekends a little bit here and there,
98
00:03:44,590 --> 00:03:47,590
but other days maybe I don't get those five hours in.
99
00:03:47,890 --> 00:03:52,450
So truly I bet I work 20 to 25 hours a
100
00:03:52,450 --> 00:03:54,490
week, maybe on a good week.
101
00:03:54,970 --> 00:03:57,520
Good. Meaning like I actually got to work more because I
102
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:57,790
don't know.
103
00:03:57,790 --> 00:03:58,420
I love what I do.
104
00:03:59,010 --> 00:04:00,610
I might work up to 30 hours,
105
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,560
but I don't know that I've ever worked 40 hours a
106
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,830
week because I have to take care of the kids,
107
00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:06,670
get them to school,
108
00:04:06,670 --> 00:04:07,390
make some lunches,
109
00:04:07,390 --> 00:04:08,260
do the grocery shopping,
110
00:04:08,260 --> 00:04:09,100
do the laundry,
111
00:04:09,130 --> 00:04:10,000
go ride my horse,
112
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:10,630
you know,
113
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,920
like 8,000
114
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,730
other things going on that there's only so much time.
115
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,880
And I'm a person that really enjoys my eight hours of
116
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,000
sleep. So I'm not prepared to give that up nor do
117
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,670
I recommend that you give that,
118
00:04:23,790 --> 00:04:24,730
that up either.
119
00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:28,000
It's been clinically proven that sleep is very much required.
120
00:04:28,990 --> 00:04:29,800
Total side note,
121
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:33,400
there's some Joe Rogan podcast episode from a guy that studied
122
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,950
sleep. That was absolutely fascinating.
123
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,800
And it was something like after,
124
00:04:38,890 --> 00:04:40,330
oh, I forget how many nights,
125
00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:45,670
three or four nights of less than like five hours of
126
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:50,560
sleep. People were as impaired as if they were like incredibly
127
00:04:50,620 --> 00:04:53,050
drunk because they didn't have sleep.
128
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,930
And then they started having hallucinations and all sorts of crazy
129
00:04:55,930 --> 00:04:57,220
stuff just from a lack of sleep.
130
00:04:57,220 --> 00:04:59,710
So this is your public service announcement.
131
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:01,510
Make sure when you're tracking your time,
132
00:05:01,690 --> 00:05:03,880
you are going to get enough sleep.
133
00:05:05,140 --> 00:05:05,770
But anyway,
134
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,120
all of this to say,
135
00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:10,210
our brain tends to want to do all of these things.
136
00:05:10,450 --> 00:05:12,700
And the reasons might be just,
137
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:16,000
we're excited about all the things maybe you're coming at having
138
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,640
to do all these things because you're a people pleaser because
139
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,010
you've grown up with the expectations that you do.
140
00:05:21,010 --> 00:05:22,090
What's asked and you,
141
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:23,170
you know,
142
00:05:23,170 --> 00:05:24,370
take care of others.
143
00:05:24,730 --> 00:05:26,320
But like they say on the plane,
144
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,600
you need to put your own oxygen mask on first.
145
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,030
So what are you doing to take care of yourself?
146
00:05:31,690 --> 00:05:32,470
You're worth it.
147
00:05:32,980 --> 00:05:33,820
It's important,
148
00:05:34,060 --> 00:05:34,720
please, please,
149
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,300
please make sure that you're taking care of yourself.
150
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,170
And again,
151
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,830
this exercise we're going to do today can hopefully help us
152
00:05:41,860 --> 00:05:42,490
do that.
153
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,400
So here we are.
154
00:05:45,850 --> 00:05:47,440
It's the beginning of the 2022.
155
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,720
If you have not listened to the recent episode I did
156
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,620
with Heather about planning our new year and planning our goals.
157
00:05:57,050 --> 00:05:59,030
Definitely go check that out.
158
00:05:59,450 --> 00:06:03,500
It is episode number 122 new year planning with Heather Lawton.
159
00:06:03,980 --> 00:06:05,810
And so then we have our goals,
160
00:06:05,810 --> 00:06:07,880
right? We know where we're going to go this year.
161
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:11,600
So now we have to figure out how are we going
162
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,470
to actually put time into our schedule to get to those
163
00:06:15,470 --> 00:06:17,690
goals, to actually accomplish those goals.
164
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:19,400
So we don't get to August.
165
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,890
And we realize that our goals have gone totally off the
166
00:06:21,890 --> 00:06:27,560
rail, that we've just let our day-to-day responsibilities and what others
167
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,460
expect from us.
168
00:06:28,460 --> 00:06:29,930
And just kind of go through the motions.
169
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,170
And we didn't actually carve out time and make it a
170
00:06:33,170 --> 00:06:36,320
priority to do these things that we wanted to do.
171
00:06:36,890 --> 00:06:39,200
So that's what we're going to do today.
172
00:06:39,890 --> 00:06:40,550
Super quick,
173
00:06:40,580 --> 00:06:41,300
super easy.
174
00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:45,560
We are going to do a two week time audit three
175
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,730
weeks would be great.
176
00:06:47,060 --> 00:06:50,690
Two weeks is definitely the minimum because one week,
177
00:06:50,690 --> 00:06:50,930
you know,
178
00:06:50,930 --> 00:06:52,190
our weeks change a little bit.
179
00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:54,080
So two to three weeks is going to give you a
180
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,880
pretty good baseline.
181
00:06:56,210 --> 00:06:58,760
And this might be even an interesting thing that you keep
182
00:06:58,790 --> 00:07:00,020
going for a little bit.
183
00:07:00,050 --> 00:07:00,440
You know,
184
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,430
maybe you go for a month,
185
00:07:01,460 --> 00:07:02,330
maybe you like doing it.
186
00:07:02,330 --> 00:07:02,720
And you're like,
187
00:07:02,750 --> 00:07:03,080
oh man,
188
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,980
let me just see where I'm spending that time because we
189
00:07:06,980 --> 00:07:07,700
can't measure.
190
00:07:07,730 --> 00:07:08,780
We can't change things.
191
00:07:08,780 --> 00:07:10,340
So we don't measure that we don't track.
192
00:07:10,370 --> 00:07:12,380
So this is going to allow us to kind of see
193
00:07:12,380 --> 00:07:13,790
where we are much.
194
00:07:13,790 --> 00:07:16,100
Like if you were trying to get out of debt,
195
00:07:16,580 --> 00:07:18,440
our first step is to figure out,
196
00:07:18,530 --> 00:07:21,140
okay, how much money do I actually owe how much money
197
00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:22,190
is actually coming in?
198
00:07:22,370 --> 00:07:24,140
How much money is actually going out?
199
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:24,920
Same thing.
200
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,090
If you wanted to lose weight,
201
00:07:26,510 --> 00:07:28,640
okay? It's not just about the exercise.
202
00:07:28,910 --> 00:07:30,290
What's going into my body.
203
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:30,890
You know,
204
00:07:30,890 --> 00:07:33,050
what am I doing to burn that?
205
00:07:33,050 --> 00:07:33,500
Like, what are,
206
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:34,160
what are you doing?
207
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,000
What are you eating?
208
00:07:35,030 --> 00:07:36,110
How much are you eating?
209
00:07:36,140 --> 00:07:37,640
And how much are you exercising?
210
00:07:37,910 --> 00:07:39,560
You have to track all of those things.
211
00:07:39,860 --> 00:07:41,930
So in order to achieve our goals,
212
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,390
we need to track our time.
213
00:07:44,570 --> 00:07:48,380
We need to attract the time that we can put towards
214
00:07:48,380 --> 00:07:50,900
it. And the time we actually are putting towards it in
215
00:07:50,900 --> 00:07:57,290
carve out really that non-negotiable time to work on those goals.
216
00:07:57,290 --> 00:07:59,750
So it doesn't get pushed to the side.
217
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,680
Okay. So what are the rules for this really,
218
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,520
really easy jump over to Google and go ahead and just
219
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,410
type in free printable,
220
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,550
weekly calendar.
221
00:08:10,970 --> 00:08:12,950
And you're going to see a whole bunch of up.
222
00:08:13,460 --> 00:08:14,540
Just pick one that you like,
223
00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:15,410
how it's laid out,
224
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,550
download it,
225
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,270
print it off,
226
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,190
easy peasy.
227
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:20,780
And then you can,
228
00:08:20,810 --> 00:08:23,990
what you can do is do 30 or 60 minute intervals.
229
00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:26,570
You don't need to get so granular as like I took
230
00:08:26,570 --> 00:08:29,600
a five minute break to go to the restroom and have
231
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,080
a stack.
232
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:30,590
Yeah, no,
233
00:08:30,650 --> 00:08:31,490
no, no.
234
00:08:31,490 --> 00:08:32,270
We don't need that.
235
00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:34,880
Just put in big chunks for the day,
236
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,990
rounding up to like,
237
00:08:36,020 --> 00:08:36,320
you know,
238
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:39,860
30 minutes or so of working.
239
00:08:40,070 --> 00:08:41,300
Maybe what you're working on.
240
00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:42,560
Is it just emails?
241
00:08:42,770 --> 00:08:44,090
Is it just social media?
242
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,130
Is it like really heavy work of like business admin marketing?
243
00:08:49,550 --> 00:08:50,810
Is it editing?
244
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:52,790
Is it actually shooting?
245
00:08:52,850 --> 00:08:55,680
Like you can break your work into those kinds of things
246
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:56,430
if you want.
247
00:08:56,490 --> 00:08:59,460
Or you can just have a general work for the first
248
00:08:59,460 --> 00:08:59,910
two weeks.
249
00:08:59,910 --> 00:09:00,930
If you want to go general,
250
00:09:00,930 --> 00:09:01,740
that's fine.
251
00:09:01,770 --> 00:09:02,790
But then in the future,
252
00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:03,510
if you want to be like,
253
00:09:03,510 --> 00:09:06,480
man, I'm working 30 hours a week and I don't feel
254
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,950
like I'm moving the ball forward.
255
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:11,100
Okay. Maybe it's time to audit those 30 hours and see
256
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:12,780
how much time you're spending on email,
257
00:09:12,780 --> 00:09:14,640
how much time you're spending on social media,
258
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,740
how much time you're spending on these other things.
259
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,280
So you can have some dedicated time towards those actually goals.
260
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,660
So anyway,
261
00:09:21,930 --> 00:09:25,170
we are going to take this blank weekly calendar,
262
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,950
and we're literally just going to write down all day long,
263
00:09:29,010 --> 00:09:32,100
what we do and I'm breaking mine into work.
264
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:33,330
And I'm putting a general thing.
265
00:09:33,330 --> 00:09:34,320
Like if it was a call,
266
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,000
if it was a podcast recording,
267
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,470
if I was,
268
00:09:37,530 --> 00:09:37,710
you know,
269
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,640
doing email,
270
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:40,620
the one I'm definitely tracking is email,
271
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,170
figuring out how much time I spend in my email.
272
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:45,840
And then for the other things,
273
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,520
I'm tracking time at the barn,
274
00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:50,970
I'm tracking workouts and those are going on as a different
275
00:09:50,970 --> 00:09:54,030
color so that I can see in my face of like,
276
00:09:54,090 --> 00:09:55,380
oh, well,
277
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:57,090
so much for that goal of five times,
278
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,220
it looks like there's only two pink spots on that whole
279
00:09:59,220 --> 00:10:03,780
week. And then I'm also tracking just family time and just
280
00:10:03,780 --> 00:10:05,610
downtime, you know,
281
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:06,540
dinner, TV,
282
00:10:06,900 --> 00:10:07,470
excuse me,
283
00:10:07,530 --> 00:10:08,460
Ozark just came out.
284
00:10:08,460 --> 00:10:10,050
So I've been busy with that every night.
285
00:10:10,380 --> 00:10:11,130
But anyway,
286
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:12,150
bonus points,
287
00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:13,320
if you want to color code it,
288
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,620
I've been making my work stuff blue so I can easily
289
00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:17,910
see. And then I'm just putting into the bottom,
290
00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:20,370
how much time per day I'm working on actual work stuff,
291
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,770
because I really truly am curious how much time I really
292
00:10:22,770 --> 00:10:26,370
do work in every two weeks so or in every week.
293
00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:28,620
So we're going to do this for a minimum of two
294
00:10:28,620 --> 00:10:29,760
weeks. Who's with me,
295
00:10:30,270 --> 00:10:31,830
please do this with me.
296
00:10:31,830 --> 00:10:34,920
I would love to see what you guys are up to,
297
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:37,080
what insights you gather from this.
298
00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:38,790
And then we can kind of come back together.
299
00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:41,400
We can make a plan and we can start to use
300
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,390
our time more effectively because after this,
301
00:10:45,450 --> 00:10:49,290
then we can start looking at what times we have,
302
00:10:49,290 --> 00:10:52,080
if there's any sort of pattern of,
303
00:10:52,140 --> 00:10:52,650
oh man,
304
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:57,180
Wednesday mornings are like awesome work time.
305
00:10:57,210 --> 00:10:58,830
Okay. Can we take that?
306
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:03,120
And even put 90 minutes every Wednesday morning as a non-negotiable
307
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,320
on our number one goal,
308
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,730
things like that.
309
00:11:05,730 --> 00:11:07,920
So let's first do that time on it.
310
00:11:07,980 --> 00:11:09,900
And then we're going to come back and we are going
311
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:13,230
to start to schedule these non-negotiables.
312
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,300
So that's it,
313
00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:18,690
we're like 11 minutes into this podcast.
314
00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:21,480
That's all easy peasy.
315
00:11:21,510 --> 00:11:22,230
Get out there,
316
00:11:22,620 --> 00:11:24,570

track your time for the next two weeks.
321
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,130
And then I want to hear about your insights.

00:12:05,620 --> 00:12:06,640
but anyway,
337
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,080
super exciting.
338
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,520
Can't wait to see what you guys were up to.
339
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:11,020
That's your homework for the week,
340
00:12:11,170 --> 00:12:12,250
short and sweet,
341
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,770
but it's going to be very impactful.
342
00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:15,520
All right,
343
00:12:15,610 --> 00:12:16,630
I'll see you guys next week.
344
00:12:18,070 --> 00:12:20,230

Sometimes we just like to give away a little pet photographer,
351
00:12:39,310 --> 00:12:43,180
swag in the form of hair of the dog t-shirts and
352
