0:05.3	and I forgot to press record. So let's start this thing over and run it back, shall we?
0:11.9	Hey, Sid, thought this would be a good question to call in with because I feel like you're
0:17.0	someone who's always busy, always doing different things.
0:27.9	And something that I struggle with personally is feeling like I'm saying, I'm spreading myself too thin.
0:34.4	I'm saying yes to literally everything because I am just that type of person and I want to be a part of everything.

1:42.8	you're probably feeling frantic, you're excited,
1:44.6	you check your calendar really quick, it looks like it's free. Okay, yes, I'll absolutely be there.
1:48.3	I have nothing else going on. Perfect. Oh, wait, an hour later, you get a text from your sister-in-law
1:54.0	saying you guys are having fam day and it's really important that you're there and now it's chaotic, right? Like now you've got to cancel on your friend. You just said yes and now you're saying no or worse case, honestly, worst case is you
