Hey Super Friends,

Just a lil update on where we are at right now. We wanted to share honestly with our entire Patreon family how things have been going 130+ days into our Quarantine.

Thank you for sharing! This was a really great listen to, and something I feel like I’ve needed to hear lately. I echo Ashley’s gratitude for having a good lockdown companion in this time because I cannot imagine having gone through these last 4 months (4 months!) alone or with a stranger or someone I didn’t have a good or healthy relationship with. Jason’s comment about hitting a wall is really interesting because lately I’ve been feeling like I’m on some kind of 3-week cycle of 2-parts motivation and 1-part wall-hitting where my motivation and productivity just evaporates and the idea of even making phone calls feels like a burden. Then I get over the wall, and repeat. The absence of my usual pre-pandemic routine is making pacing myself harder because things like my daily commute (2/3-hour round trip on the train), my office, errands and appointments provide boundaries, all of which are pretty much gone now. My husband is a key worker so he’s out all day, and that (despite being worried about his exposure) has helped bring perspective in many ways – him coming home and shutting my laptop is the reason I’m not working 14-hours a day honestly. I love that you’ve both found Grand Designs! That’s a HUGE favourite in my office because I’m a building surveyor and it appeals to all our inner building geeks. You should try The Repair Shop next! One thing I will say is that before the world hit pause, I did feel like I was living at 100 mph, often feeling busy or stressed or both 24/7 with my full-time job, university work, family and friends and just life admin, plus planning my wedding. So, when everything slowed down, or stopped altogether, it kind of felt like I was able to catch my breath for the first time in about 4 years. April was the first time in years I can remember having a single day when I had absolutely nothing to do, the first time in years I’ve actually felt bored. It was almost … cleansing? Like a reset. Reading was something I had seriously lapsed on before all this started but I’ve been able to recapture some of that again and that’s been nice. Cannot agree more about being content. Sorry for all the rambling thoughts! Thank you again for all the great content you share, podcasts and GHL in particular have been a huge help to me in what is a weird, weird time.

Love this episode! Nice to hear you guys talk about stuff like this and helps knowing people I respect are going through the same things. Must say, one of the things that brings me the most joy is interacting with you guys, whether it’s on Instagram live or getting additional things like question episodes of GHL or even whenever a new Blackest Night club video drops in the feed, that always brings a smile to my face and a bit of escape from the craziness of the real world
