Hello and welcome to the Modern Maker Podcast for Thursday August 15th

2019 otherwise known as relaxation day. What is that man? A day to relax. You got a it's every day, bro. What are you talking about?

Oh, I do is relax. Relax to the max. Ooh, that could be like a good 80s looking

t-shirt. Probably already exists. Nice.

How do y'all relax? What's your go to chill out?

If you've got two hours.

Ooh.

Honestly, probably like lay down and watch YouTube or something.

Nice.

I thought you're about to hit us with that Nintendo switch.

Mm. That's when I'm playing that I'm all business man that ain't that's business time.

What about you been what you got? I think I just go and get another coffee and keep going.

That's not relaxing that. Yeah I was about to say that's... It depends. I asked the question... I remember in like football

practice a long time ago the coach would always ask are you hurt or are you injured right like meaning like oh yeah I understand you're feeling the sensation of pain but are you objective enough in the moment to actually assess whether or not there's significant damage or it's just your own lack of comfort?

So I try to deal with fatigue in the same way is I sort of question

am I really exhausted is this something where I need to take a nap or am I just kind of flummoxed by not really sharing what the next step of a particular project is?

Am I kind of procrastinating because there's something I have uncertainty about or I just don't enjoy doing.

So I always start with that sort of question first.

If I'm genuinely exhausted and tired and then yeah, resting is productive. it's not the absence of work but you always want to

make sure that it's it's not just a way of getting out of doing something

that's unpleasant.

How often do you guys feel physically fatigued versus mentally fatigued?
