>> Oh, yeah. I woke up this morning and did yoga. literally was an 11minute class. I

yoga. literally was an 11minute class. I

always use Yoga with Adrien. I think

that's how you say her name. I always

use her videos. They're so good. She's

like so calming. And I think because I use her videos so much, I feel like she's my friend even though she's not.

Um, so I just woke up and did that this morning in my pajamas, which was absolutely lovely because also I hate workout gear. So just doing like a very

workout gear. So just doing like a very calm, slow, like kind of stretchy thing in the morning in my pajamas is a great alternative also to me having to put on

a workout set. So that was really lovely. Had some Greek yogurt um which

lovely. Had some Greek yogurt um which you saw.

I'm quite excited for. I overall have really noticed how much being productive [music] makes me feel happier. And I've

said for a long time that productivity is definitely a form of self-care. Oh

no, my call starts now. [music] I've

said for ages that productivity is a form of self-care. If you're not productive and like you leave everything till last minute or [music] whatever it is, you like leave problems for your future self. You are not caring for

future self. You are not caring for yourself or your future self. So, I've

just really enjoyed feeling very [music] productive and leaving the office feeling accomplished. And I think that

feeling accomplished. And I think that that's a very big thing and something that's worth recognizing. I have a call.

Got to go.

Sorry, you can hear the extractor fan in the background. It's very annoying. This

the background. It's very annoying. This

remedy kombucha is sugar-free because I think the fermentation process gets rid of all the sugar. So, I've been really enjoying them. Our office is quite

enjoying them. Our office is quite close, so we come home for lunch usually. I came home to a very exciting

usually. I came home to a very exciting parcel. I've had to have a lot of

parcel. I've had to have a lot of restraint to not open it right now, but I haven't even looked in it. So, we're

going to unbox it together.

single day. I cannot get through the afternoon without a snack. I don't know why. I'm just a big snacker. Um I would

favorite are the M&S um olive oil crisps or the avocado oil crisp crisps, which are new.

Please, could you put these back over there cuz I'll eat them all otherwise.

Similarly to my afternoon snack, which [music] I was just saying, sorry, you can hear the coffee machine going. I'll

wait a second.

a very, very, very mini workout this morning. I think it's acceptable to have

Free Soul. My favorite flavor is citrus, although you'll see them when I make them in a couple of hours. Anyway, I

need to get my head down, do half an hour deep work before I have my meeting in 30 minutes. And then I think I have some time between meetings where I'm just going to do more deep work. So a

very focused evening uh afternoon is going to be had today.

[music] [music] Well, it's quite Hello vlog. We finished at site much

So, to go with our cheese. We already

ate the baby bells. Did I say that already? To go with our cheese, we've
