But it's like such a actual rhythm of mine now to be on there to sharpen. And I pick a skill

every single year.

What's up guys? Welcome to Five Minute Fatherhood. So we know so many of you guys are dealing

with sudden unemployment or you have friends that are dealing with unemployment. Some of you

are dealing with underemployment where people are being furloughed. How do you handle that? And there's obviously a lot of ways to do this.

There's a certain mentality that I just want to really encourage you guys to avoid if you are

finding yourself suddenly unemployed. And that is to go passive, to suddenly kind of decide that I just need to wait until this whole

thing blows over and then we start applying for jobs.

In the meantime, I'm just going to crush Netflix or something.

Like, please don't do that.

A couple of things I really encourage you to do.

First of all, stay in rhythm.

It's really important that you work and rest is not an employment

thing. It's a biblical rhythm thing. We work six days a week, and it doesn't matter to us whether

or not somebody else is employing us or not. If I'm going in and out of certain jobs, April is,

if my kids are, it's like, no, we work six days. Now, one of the things that really is helpful

when you think that way is that if you're looking, what that means is productive work during

that time. And so that can obviously be things like, you know, sending out your resume and applying

for new jobs, learning new jobs. But it can also mean trying to take on a new challenge as a family.

And one of the things that this could allow an opportunity for, one of the things I'm excited

about we talked about it in a previous podcast, is this can begin to create an opportunity

for the household to become an economic unit again.
