| 0:00.0 | This is episode 2335 of your daily meditation podcast. |
| 0:08.1 | I'm Mary Megley and welcome back to day six of the series we're exploring this week. |
| 0:15.9 | This week it's been all about how to manage procrastination and get those important things done in your life that you may have been putting off, especially as we continue in a pandemic. |
| 0:33.6 | In today's episode, you're going to be guided as you layer together the meditation techniques you've been exploring all week long. |
| 0:44.0 | I like to think of this as a flow meditation, where you flow from one technique to the next. |
| 0:52.7 | We've also been following along with a challenge this week. Your challenge |
| 0:58.5 | has been to wake up earlier every day this week and you have been invited to join the 5 a.m. |
| 1:09.7 | Club people from all over the world wake up at 5 a.m. club, people from all over the world, wake up at 5 a.m. to do self-care, |

| 2:29.3 | What have you been procrastinating? And have you made any progress? |
| 2:35.0 | Even awareness of what it is you want to accomplish in your life is progress. |
| 2:44.0 | Focus on taking small incremental steps that lead you to your goals. |
| 2:55.6 | You never know when you might actually need your goals and dreams to lift you up. |
| 3:03.6 | One of your fellow meditators, Joy, reached out. Joy currently lives in San Diego, but she spent a lot of years living in Hawaii. And when she was there, she learned to do the hula dance. And she always wanted to learn to play the ukulele. That's the Hawaiian guitar. |
