Hey guys, welcome back to Thicken Thin with me, Katie Bullotti. Hope you all are doing

0:20.0

well today as you're listening to this wherever you are. I have got to be honest with you

0:26.1

guys. I am freaking burnt out. I am tired. I am mentally, physically, emotionally, just like

0:35.5

out of juice, which I'm so grateful I have this weekend to recharge. I have absolutely no plans

0:42.1

this weekend. And as I've, you know, gotten to adulthood, I've realized how unbelievably just

0:48.4

orgasmic it is to have no plans. And I'm one of those people though where I don't trust myself

0:54.8

with having no plans because I feel like when I have no plans, I will scramble to find plans,

1:01.6

you know, because I have this weird fear of being idle. I just can't sit still. I don't know what

1:09.6

that means or what that says about me, but I feel extremely insecure when I don't have something

1:16.3

to do or something going on. And I don't know what it is. It's not that I'm afraid of what other

idle weekend. And you can as well, like on your end as well, if you're one of those people that

1:45.6

is very similar to me in this, I hope we can both have weekends where we're not like

1:52.1

fidgeting in our seats as we're trying to relax because we want to do something that we deem

1:59.0

productive. I think it's been one of those upward crawls for me to accept that doing nothing

2:06.8

can be productive because I just don't take nearly as many brain breaks as I used to.

2:12.8

In college, I feel like I did it all the time. And I wasn't insecure about it because a lot of

2:18.2

my friends just kind of sat around and didn't do anything. And it was just like the college culture.

2:23.9

It was fine. It was one of those things where we were like hungover all the time. And when you're

2:28.1

hungover all the time, you're allowed to just sit around and eat Chinese food and whatever.
