0:00.0	Well, hello there, top teachers. I am your solo host, Michelle Emerson, and I am here to make
0:06.6	your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:13.1	I'm sure you know by now the fact that I am solo hosting means I am recording a week in the life
0:19.1	episode. Granted, if you saw the title of this episode, you already knew that.
0:23.9	But just a heads up, I am actually recording this on December 10th,
0:29.6	which is a full week before Bridget and I have even recorded the book review that you
0:34.9	hopefully listened to last week and over a month before you
0:38.6	are hearing it. So as I go through this week, just bear in mind, it's about two weeks before
0:44.6	Christmas. And at this point, I have not yet read the Essentialism book. That's on the agenda this
0:50.8	week. I'm going to take you through as I read the book, my thoughts, and how I start

1:18.8	I don't know how else to put it. There's just a lot of things that are different than normal.
1:23.1	First one being, I do not have a training session today. So most of you know, I compete in powerlifting
1:30.0	and typically I train five days a week. I train Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, I take Friday off as a rest
1:37.5	day. I train Saturday and Sunday and then take Monday off as a rest day. However, I am actually at the tail end of what is called
1:46.2	a delode week. So within strength training, every somewhere between four and six weeks,
1:52.2	usually, you want to take a delode week where you are going to cut back on the intensity and
1:58.5	the volume to give your body a chance to recover so you can then
2:02.3	push hard for another four to five weeks. Most of the time when my coach programs a delode week
