Summary

In this episode of Thick & Thin I discuss why it's hard to be productive in the same ways we're used to, given the anxieties we feel during this uncertain time. I also talk about the concept of being alone and why it's so hard for some of us to be alone with ourselves, and why we rely so much on external things like our friends & other distractions. // Follow me on Insta: Instagram.com/katybellotte Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/thick-and-thin/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to Thick and Thin with me, Katie Biladi.
0:18.0	It is Friday afternoon as I'm recording this.
0:20.8	I know I'm actually a day late with the episode this week. There's a
0:24.1	lot of reasons for that. I'm not going to sit here and justify myself really, but I do
0:28.2	want to share kind of what went into me attempting to podcast yesterday and it went horribly wrong. I was kind of, I mean, it was first of all late in the day. I had had so many projects that I've been working on during the day yesterday. All has just been crazy with freelance stuff which is great I love
0:46.4	You know all these different projects I'm doing and all this different stuff but the I think what people don't really understand about freelance is when you are doing all these different things and you're constantly switching gears

1:38.0	I had a full-on meltdown.
1:40.5	Well, not a full-on, I've had pretty bad melt down some of my life of just getting super frustrated, but I just couldn't do it. I just like got up from my desk. I was like 15 minutes in after two and a half hours of recording and I never like that ever. It usually takes me
1:54.6	about an hour and a half to podcast because I'm editing as I go and I usually kind
2:00.0	of talk pretty just long stream I don't really cut a lot of stuff as you guys might
2:03.6	notice so it was just really frustrating having just to stop and collect my
