Big Thursday.

Hello, everybody and welcome to the Cat in Cloud Coffee podcast.

This is Chris Baca and Jared Truby in Santa Cruz, California, just doing our thing,

drinking some coffee. The answer. The answer. The Catin Cloud podcast is brought you by Calafia Farms. They make the best. Coconut milk, almond milk, all those milks that don't have dairy in them, you want them, they got them. Hell yes, they do. And they also have the finest cold brew beverages that are ready to drink. So jump into the store and grab one. Okay. And if you want to know more about what we think of traditional cold brews, you can listen to our last episode where we go on a full-on cold brew rants. But we got these caliphia stuff in cans and bottles. It's like a bottle can. What is it? It's a whole different world is what it is. Yeah, it's a whole different thing.

It's not your traditional cold brew. It's tasty. And if you want to check out some other things, Jared's been making some recipes with some of the Caliphia products. I sure have. So check the gram for some photos, some sweet treats you can make at home. Yeah, do it, do it, do it. So today we got a kind of a fun episode. We got a question a while back about motivation and time management and just handling all of life's wants and needs through this build out and just kind of in general. And so we kind of figured we'd talk to you guys a little bit about what we do to keep ourselves motivated, focused, and on tasks throughout the week.

So, you know, so what do we do now?

Let's just start with the beginning of our day.

Of our days, because we talked about that a little bit, but let's recap that and then just go from there.

Actually, let me prerequisite this whole thing.

In order for you to even begin to do a good job with this, you first of all have to be motivated and want to try. And you have to be willing to have a plan and make a plan. So let's just start there. And then let's dive into our day. Because at the end of the day, we can give you all this stuff. And at the bottom line, And if you're not the kind of person who wants to make yourself have a schedule or live by a schedule, you're not even going to have a chance. Yep, I totally agree. And we'll get into this a little bit later. But a lot of people think scheduling and they think, oh, no, it's, it's, you know. I go with the flow. I go with the flow. But for but for me scheduling means freedom so we'll double back

on that yep but right now just had to start it off yeah so get get your get your brain drain on self-assess

yourself and get ready for the truth the truth it's the truth but we're drinking the answer we're

drinking the answer truth comes later you have to wait for the cafe for that one. So what are you doing the morning, Chris? So my mornings are pretty standard. So I get up and the first thing I do is drink water. Me too. Two glasses. Every time, every once in a while I forget and I totally notice it later in the day because I'm just like, dude, I feel so weird. I'm like, I didn't drink my water this morning. So I'll actually, I'm looking at my Britta thing right now, I'll pour out a glass before I go to bed. Oh, it's ready for you. So it's ready. So when I get up, I just pound that thing and that's just setting it off proper. After that, I talked about this before I'll get into some journaling and planning so I opened my notebook it's a little blue

notebook that I after that i talked about this before i'll get into some journaling and planning so i opened my

little journaling.

So the first thing I write down is anywhere from like three to ten things that I'm thankful

for.

And when I first heard about this, I was like, this is the dumbest, corneous crap that ever could be.
