| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here. |
| 0:12.5 | And today I want to continue with our theme of giving yourself permission to stop. |
| 0:17.9 | And this week, I want to focus on giving yourself permission to stop wasting your time. |
| 0:26.1 | Again, we're going to talk about this later in the week in your professional life and we're |
| 0:30.2 | going to close out the week with your personal life. But I just want to talk in generalities |
| 0:34.8 | today about the concept of wasting time. |
| 0:38.9 | One of the things as I was very transparent about in the last few weeks is my own journey to |

| 2:02.5 | or participating in projects that just if I'm being honest with myself are a waste of time. |
