Bonjour, everyone. Welcome to the episode Win or Learn. This is episode number 61. And I'm pretty

excited to be talking about this topic because it's something that I kind of have mentioned

in a roundabout way in a lot of my episodes. So I thought it'd be good to kind of package it up

you know, have burnout or become quite stressed or anxious.

And then you're going to get all these other problems that come from it.

But because I could see that the end was just a few weeks away,

I was kind of like, all right, let's just like knuckle down and get it done. So then the day after

when the lockdown gets announced, I was kind of like, I probably just need a rest. Like I kind of

need a few days where I'm doing nothing and that kind of just forced me to do that. So the first few
