11: Community, Depression, YouTube and THANK YOU!!!
Lawschoolers!! I'm humbled by your love and support. In this episode, I discuss the need to build our little group into a little community. I've gotten some truly touching emails from some fantastic people, and I'd like to spend more time with you. We can form a community on YouTube or Zoom, or we can do it some other way. I'm open to ideas.  I also talk a little about depression. Although we've almost made it through 2020, people are hurting. I've dealt with it, and someone you love has too.  Finally, thank you so much for listening, for buying the book, and for your kind emails. I love you guys. Email me at [email protected] if you're interested in doing live streams and PLEASE give me topic ideas. If we can get a small group assembled, I think we could have a lot of fun.  Your friend, Charlie B.

10: Let’s talk about time, shall we?
In this episode, we’re going to talk about time and how to master it. I’m going to talk about how you can become aware of how you spend your time and then how you can learn to maximize it through a process I’ve coined “Task-Classing.” Nothing fancy, just a way to use neuroscience to your advantage to squeeze one more hour (maybe more, maybe less) out of every day without losing your mind and burning out. I hope this helps.
