I'm probably talking shit, getting up in my feelings, reading, writing, looking at trees, drinking whiskey, dancing, taking long walks, or doing obsessive research.

Finished reading: Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman 📚

That book changed my life, i.e. my short finite life in which I now don’t even try to do everything.

I just listened to his latest book, which was a nice refresher, focusing on imperfectionism.

@jean It’s a good one, for sure. I just wrote up a few notes here anniemueller.com/posts/goo…

Might have to check out his latest one!

I started interstitial journaling last year, although I didn’t realise that’s what it was and it had a name. So thanks for that!

@jean Mind sharing how it changed your life?

@alongtheray For starters, it made me realize I didn’t believe that doing a productivity podcast was how I wanted to spend my time, and I was ready to devote that time to finding my creative calling.

My cohost and I discussed it in the penultimate episode.

@jean Sounds like wonderful timing – I’ve been thinking of the same thing, following my creative desires and finding that calling again. Is there a transcript of your podcast for the deaf? I thought m.blog automatically transcribed but I could be wrong?

@alongtheray It wasn’t an option when we recorded it, I don’t think, but I bet there is a way to do it retroactively. It would be nice to have a transcript. Maybe @manton has a tool to recommend to me that will let me transcribe this one. 🤔
