  • Achieving simplicity in a complex world

    Greg McKeown's podcast, Episode 233: "The Power of Half an Hour," offers a timely set of tools that have positively transformed my life and work.

  • No 352 Chaos to Clarity

    Thank you Greg & Alison. Have just listened on a journey with my husband and we have both enjoyed it and taken notes of things to try. Some really interesting ideas. I like the idea of free writing as a journal always feels like it needs to be neat. Messy is where the magic happens! Thanks.

  • Richie Norton = Waste of Time

    I feel dumber after listening to this podcast episode. Why replay an episode where YOU couldn’t even understand what the guest is trying to say. HE doesn’t even know what he’s trying to say. Just regurgitating stuff he’s read online. What a waste of time!

  • Anti-time Manangement - The most important lesson I’ve learned this year !

    Amazing episode - What I my core values? How do I spend my time? It’s an episode that helps you take back the agency of your life and working life. I love the nuances - don’t just quit your job but ask for a way to do your job and still be able to live a value based life. Thank you both

  • Chaos to Clarity - love it!

    I can’t wait to put the idea of exploratory writing into my daily prep. Already shared with 6 of my friends… we always talk about having too many tabs open. Thank you!
