It’s been a breath of fresh air after some some weird spring, early spring cold weather that we’re having. Jim Collison  [1:19]  Well, I’m finding I’m just more sensitive to the weather than it was before because I can get out in it. Like when you you know, when I was in the office, I’m in the office.

I’m your host Jim Collison broadcasting live from the average guy TV Studios here, Mike a super windy, Bellevue Nebraska like hitting holy cow today.

With work habits potentially changing, how are you managing your time now? How are you managing exercise and sleep? Jim and Mike talk about a few things that might help. We have an update on the Folding at Home Team project (join the Home Gadget Geeks Team at 243306) and we talk about new process that might be happening to you now that you didn’t use before. More 2FA, Jim is using Sticky notes for task planning.
