0:00.0	Dr. Rungan Chatterjee, welcome back to the podcast. You know, I want to talk about stress,
0:06.1	burnout, procrastination. These are things that a lot of people are plagued with. And I know for
0:12.5	my audience, they think about how they start the day and their morning specifically sets the
0:18.9	tone for the rest of the day. I have a big question for you,
0:21.7	but if you had an optimal morning routine to help tackle these things, stress, burnout, procrastination,
0:29.0	what would that look like? I think that morning routines are one of the most important things

1:26.7	That's a behaviour you're repeating that you maybe did
1:29.6	the day before and the day before that. And that's going to have a downstream consequence later on
1:35.2	in the day. In fact, your initial question said stress, burnout and procrastination. I hear those things
1:41.6	and I want to go upstream and go, those are downstream symptoms of other
1:47.6	things that we're going to talk about today.
