| 0:00.0 | This is episode 2,200 of your daily guided meditation. |
| 0:06.0 | Welcome to the final episode of our series on procrastination. How are you doing today? What was your week like? You're going to be |
| 0:20.3 | guided as always in the final episode of a series in a weekly review. This is an all |
| 0:28.0 | important feature of each series. It's a way for you to reflect back over the week to notice how you're living your life. |
| 0:39.6 | And this is something we often don't do. You celebrate your big wins and you'll notice your |

| 2:20.0 | have so many layers between the outside environment. Many homes were completely opened up, |
| 2:28.7 | rain shine, hot, cold, and we also did not have central heating or central air where we lived in Tokyo, |
