Balance-wise, if you're about to welcome a kid, some of the things that I do that really, really help, I generally try not to have meetings on Mondays or Tuesdays. Just keep those, I keep those really light. Yeah. Every parent I've talked to is like, Monday between the morning and noon is recovering from the weekend.
Right.
Like you're just, you're making that transition. And I happen to work from home. And so y'all are going to laugh so hard, but I scrub cleaned our couch. I was like scrubbing it. And this is what I did. No joke. I scrub cleaned the couch with my 45-pound kettlebells. So I would do 10 deadlifts with my kettlebells, then I would scrub the couch. And then I, so I was taking a rest, but the entire time my brain is sorting and processing and getting into work mode.
Mm-hmm.
Right? It's this transition time.
