| 0:00.0 | Hey it's Marie Forleo and welcome to another episode of MarieTV and the Marie Forleo |
| 0:09.6 | podcast. Today is Q&A Tuesday and today's question comes from Vera. Hi Marie my name is Vera |
| 0:18.3 | and I'm Italian. I'm the co-owner and CEO of a technological company. I am also a creative |
| 0:27.6 | I have the dream of writing regularly, maybe one day, writing a book, specifically something |
| 0:35.0 | that would inspire younger women to embrace a technology path in their careers regardless |
| 0:42.5 | of the background and their knowledge. Recently I feel like I lost my creative vibe. I don't |
| 0:48.6 | brag anymore. I try to be as open as possible in my readings etc but I'm so focused on my daily job |
| 0:59.3 | that I have nothing left for the rest of my passions. How can I make it happen? How can I help |
| 1:08.5 | all my interests coexist? Thank you. Oh Vera this question is awesome. You have a thousands of other |
| 1:16.0 | people have it and the solution is actually quite simple. What you need to do is to put your primary |

| 1:39.5 | until the end of the day chances are you're never going to get to it right? You've used all that |
| 1:44.3 | beautiful cognitive fuel in the morning. You're kind of spent and what you need to do is just rest |
| 1:48.8 | and recover at night. I have a quick story about this just a few weeks ago is in this same position. |
| 1:53.8 | Josh and I were together it was early in the morning we were having our coffee and he said hey |
| 1:57.6 | Marie we need to go do some yard work. Can we just get that done like as soon as we're done we'll |
| 2:02.9 | get dressed and we'll go make it happen and I'm like honey I love you but no I had a primary project |
| 2:09.6 | it was actually a new class that I just created called the three productivity mistakes you can't |
| 2:14.0 | afford to make especially if you're already overwhelmed and overstretched which Vera you should |
| 2:18.4 | take this class I'll tell you more about it in a minute but my point to him was I love you honey |
