“That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs” is one of my favorite podcasts. New regular episodes release every Monday and Thursday. I get a lot, and I mean a lot, of my book recommendations from her and her podcast guests.
Normally I listen to the episodes the same day they are released but I have gotten a little off schedule right now. Episode 210: John Eldridge released March 26th and while it was recorded before this pandemic had hit, it was very timely.
I downloaded the app John Eldridge created and spoke about in the podcast. I highly recommend listening to the podcast but even if you don’t want to listen to the podcast, you should still check out the app.
The app is free and called Pause. On it I have set two reminders to notify me in the morning and the afternoon to take a brief pause, ranging from one minute up to ten minutes.
This has become another rhythm to get me through these days.
