Do the Coronavirus lockdowns have you feeling down? Do you feel a bit lazier, despondent or discouraged right now? You'll find a lot of common ground with the guys in this episode.

Show Highlights:

- Why we need prudent reflection and a daily examen in order to overcome acedia.
- The powers of "reverse scheduling."
- Why humility and gratitude are the chief responses of a saintly man to acedia.
- The importance of prayer and work - "ora et labora."
- What is contradiction and why is it useful in overcoming acedia?
- Memento Mori - how the remembrance of death can help you beat this demon.
- How to cultivate manly perseverance and why it's important in your battle to be free of acedia.
- How and why should you learn to be uncomfortable?
