0:00.0	Hey guys. Welcome back to the podcast growing up and sometimes down. This is actually our second
0:10.8	episode that we're recording from home because we're still in lockdown. If you guys are new to
0:17.5	the podcast, my name is Olivia. And I'm Evie and we're both two teens on I think we just
0:23.4	stop saying on our gap years at this point because we're just not we're just lying to guys we're not
0:27.7	going to go to uni there's no chance in today's episode we're going to be doing one all about things
0:35.8	to do during lockdown so I know we touched this a bit in the last episode.
0:39.2	If you guys haven't listened to that, by the way, make sure to check it out first
0:41.8	because I feel like we sort of introduced the whole topic of the virus and what to do with your mental health and stuff like that.
0:48.5	So that's a really good one to listen to.
0:50.2	So today we thought we'd kind of do a little bit of a distraction episode because last episode we obviously had to talk about the virus.
0:58.4	But I thought for those of you guys who don't even want to think about it, we are going to be talking all about what we've been doing to distract ourselves, our favorite TV shows, favorite activities, how to get into a routine, just how to feel like life is normal
1:12.0	at a time where life doesn't feel that normal. And just how to stay positive overall and not to be
1:18.6	productive every day because we'll touch on this later, but how to feel like you're getting up
1:23.1	and you're starting the day and just get a nice routine going because obviously you don't have
1:26.5	to be productive every day, but just to feel like you've done something so you don't feel a bit like you haven't done anything in the end of the next sort of thing. So you don't go stir crazy. Yeah, exactly. And once again, we don't have a document to your article, which is what we usually find for the inspiration for the episode. But this time I feel like it's just life.
1:45.1	Yeah.
1:45.5	Life is my inspiration.
1:47.4	Life is my muse.
1:49.4	Coronavirus is my muse.
1:51.7	That wouldn't be a very good muse, would it?
1:53.5	No.
1:54.6	So I feel like we should just get straight into talking about it because I think we have some good tips to share.
