| 0:00.0 | Sarah, where's the car? It's gone. It's not gone. It's with fixer. Since you never got |
| 0:04.5 | round to fixing it, I took care of it. Fixed up? Fixed up? Fixed up great. They pick |
| 0:08.4 | up your car, drive it to the garage, handle the maintenance, then drive it straight back |
| 0:11.3 | to you. Sounds expensive? Don't worry. They negotiate their prices with their partner |
| 0:14.8 | garages and the car pickup service is included. So since that's all handled, how about you |
| 0:18.8 | take a look at that leaky tab or do you need me to fix that too? For easy car maintenance, |
| 0:23.0 | head to fixter.co.uk. We'll pick up your car and take care of all the rest. Fixed up and |

| 1:23.0 | chores are done, people are exhausted. And determined to have some alone time anyway |
| 1:28.6 | darn it. So they stay up late to get it. And this time isn't exactly high value. People |
| 1:36.2 | are too exhausted to do much beyond school or channel surf. But at least it's autonomous. |
| 1:44.5 | This can continue for hours. Which means that the me time comes at the price of starting |
| 1:49.6 | the next day, exhausted too. One of my foundational time management rules is to give yourself |
| 1:57.9 | a bedtime. Choose a time you intend to be in bed most nights. A time that will enable |
