0:00.0	This is episode 1,94 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:07.0	I'm Mary Meckley, and I welcome you back midweek to our series all about productivity in a crisis.
0:19.2	As we experience this coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, you may be at home, isolating and you might feel as though even though you have all this time on your hands
0:37.2	that you're not really getting a lot done. You may feel like you don't know what's going on. Just know that what you're
