This episode is by request from my friend Fallon, who asks, "How do you find the balance between the art consuming you and the other important things/people in your life? Do you let it overtake you for the month(s) before, and then have a break after? Are you able to find breaks in between? If so, how??"

What you'll hear:

• shitty sound quality because I don't have my microphone here in Ireland (blame the snake).
• One week down at the IADF, one week to go 2:00
• Getting into the meat of Fallon's question of how to find balance during crunch time by defining what balance is and understanding that it's a dynamic state, not a static one 4:00
• Why my initial thought of "yeah let it consume you!" is very biased because of the failsafe's I have built into my life 6:45
• One approach to finding the elusive, dynamic balance during crunch time: Find your 5 non-negotiables and protect them with your whole chest 9:00
  • My five, as a starter pack: sleep, food, water, down time, solitude
• Episode 141: "Rest" is not enough 16:30

Don't go back to sleep.

What you'll hear:

• My girl Cris asked me to talk about this post on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDehqMypsT_/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
• Mindless media consumption is "nothing box" and is by nature, easy passive pleasure 4:00
• Both this and addictive behaviors are driven by dopamine 5:42
• We tend to judge ourselves for these behaviors as though they are a moral failing on our part, even though it's literally how we were designed 8:00
• Art-making is more expensive metabolically than mindless media consumption, and so is the cuddly chemicals like oxytocin 10:00
• How chronic stress can interrupt good brain chemicals and impact female sexual function 14:00
• Why the starving, tortured artist trope is a load of BS 16:00

Don't go back to sleep.
