This is London Calling.

So we're not completely out of the woods, but the equation has fundamentally changed.

The effect of vaccines has been huge in reducing the risk of hospitalisation and death.

And I think I'm positive that by late September, October time we will be looking back at most of the pandemic.

We'll still have COVID with us, we'll still have people dying from COVID, but

we'll put the bulk of the pandemic behind us.

Welcome to London Calling with me James Derryport and my very good friend Mr Toby Young. Tobey Young've got a question for you which is I don't understand how you

managed to get so much done.

And I'm kind of wondering what your secret.

I tell you my problem.

At the moment, I am trying to write a book.

I've got my I've got my podcasts obviously I've got

this I've got my day job the bright. And I've got the business of trying to stop, you know, trying to keep my family together and not have them all completely hate me because I'm a crackpot loom.

And you know, so obviously I have to do kind of, you know, family duties.

And then I have to ride twice a week because if I didn't go riding I'd go mad.

But what I find is that there's loads and loads of stuff that doesn't get done, like answering

correspondence, just sort of things like... that doesn't get done like answering correspondence just

sort of things like well you know anything to do with admin I can't do and I I bet you

you're not like that I bet you can do all this stuff. No I don't get everything done. I think I realized a little while ago that you don't have to get through your to-do list. At one stage I used to make these very

long to-do lists and feel quite anxious if there was still outstanding items on them after a few days.

Yeah. But that no longer causes me anxiety. I've now resigned myself to never actually always doing everything I have to do.

There are always going to be some things that slip through the cracks and I'm now okay with that.
