I'm sure you, yeah, I'm sure you can relate to that, being in that creative field as well.
19:47
Yeah.

Um, being a photographer full time, you kinda have to put yourself out there, meet loads of people, and when you're not doing a, having, like, that week of quietness, it's like, "What can I do to keep myself busy or to, like, get more business?" or something like that.
20:02
So it's always kind of like that juggle, and then, but, 'cause, you know, when you work from home or don't have a office space or something, it can be very isolating.
20:12
So you're like, half the time you're like, "Oh, I'm by myself, working." And other time you're like, "Okay, I gotta go out." But when you go out, it's like, "Is it gonna get me work, or is it not gonna get me work?" So you have this whole, like, juggle in your head on being like, "Do I go or do I not go?" But c- but in marketing it's always like you never know, so it's always like, "Oh, I have to take the risk anyway." So I go, and sometime it lands somewhere, and other times it doesn't and I'm like, "Oh, well, it's just, it's just what it is" kind of thing, yeah.

You have to make tasks.

You have to do tasks that, like, maybe, like, beginning of the week, being like, "Okay, I need to do this," or try and focus things out.
