When you drag your feet or you drag your heels,
2

3550
00:10
it means that you have stuff to do
3
10290
2120
00:12
and you're just not working on it very hard
4
12410
3160
00:15
or very fast, or at all. (laughs)

I have been pretty busy lately
6
18550
3260
00:21
and I didn't sleep very good last night.
7
21810
2180
00:23
I had a bad sleep.
8
23990
1250
00:25
So I'm tired.
9
25240

00:26
So today, I'm definitely dragging my feet.
10
26580
2630
00:29
So that means I'm going slowly. (chuckles)

I'm already behind responding to comments on my video

1350
00:42
And I'm still teaching online,
16
42410

00:44
but I'm certainly dragging my feet today.
17

1910
00:46
So I'm going slowly, I am getting stuff done,
18
46080
3690
00:49
but not as fast as I normally do.
19
49770
2200
00:51
I feel like sleep is super important.
20

00:54
When you have good sleep, you have a good day at work.
21
54630

22
57440

And it reminded me of the phrase, all work and no play.
24
62640
3850
01:06
So when you say all work and no play
25
66490
2510
01:09
it's usually followed up by saying,
26
69000
1970
01:10
something like, makes Bob a dull boy.
27
70970
1900
01:12
So all work and no play makes Bob, me, a dull boy.
28
72870
3750
01:16
You can insert your name in if you want.
29
76620
2630
01:19
Because I think I need a holiday.
30
79250
2020
01:21
But I can't really go anywhere for a holiday.
31
81270

01:24
Normally, Jen and I, we would have went away
32
84420
2690
01:27
for at least one weekend in 2020, so far.
33
87110
3313
01:30
But we're just kinda stuck at home.
34

01:32
So again, I'm not complaining,
35
92090
2700
01:34
but I am dragging my feet a little bit today.
36
94790
2550
01:37
I do still like making videos for all of you.
37
97340
2381
01:39
I do still like my job.
38
99721
2799
01:42
But I am feeling a little bit like all work and no play
39
102520
3170
01:45
makes Bob a dull boy.
40
105690
1250
01:46
So hopefully, I can have a bit of a break
41
106940
2490
