You guys loved our episode on organisation last year so this week we’re back getting all excited about getting your shit together – productivity. As two organised worriers, we’re always looking for new ways to increase our productivity so this week we’re sharing the routines that we try to stick to and the tips we swear by to make the most out of each day. Because being busy is not the same as being productive. Just as a side note, we record all of our episodes in advance and recorded this before social distancing really started, that said, chatting about productivity (especially if you’re now working from home) seem quite timely so hopefully this is still useful and we can serve as a nice distraction from what is going on in these scary times.

In this episode we discuss how to manage your expectations of yourself, where you “should” be and what you “should” have already acheived. We can all be guilty of seeing ourselves big goals but there’s a difference between a stretch-target and setting yourself and unrealistic timeline for success. We’re all guilty of it though and this week we’re sharing how we’ve started to manage our own expectations a little better and not be quite so hard on yourself.

Stepping outside of our comfort zones is something we both try to do on a regular basis. Sometimes it’s something smaller like joining a new club, other times it’s taking a huge career change. Whatever it is, we’ve both found that it can be so rewarding when we go outside of comfort zones that it’s something we always try to encourage other people to do too. If you’re not quite sure how to start then we’ve got plenty of ideas and advice in this episode.

Can you believe we’re almost at the end of the year, and the decade? No, we can’t either! So before we take our end of year break (don’t worry, we’ll be back in January with plenty of new discussions) we thought we’d take a moment to look back on the rest of the year, discuss some of our highs and lows, and share our top recommendations from the past 12 months. We hope you enjoy the last episode of the year and also get a chance to take a break over the next few weeks, whether you celebrate Christmas or not! As ever, please do get in touch with us and share any ideas that you have for our 2020 topics!

We know we’re a little late and the sound quality isn’t great this week but we’re hoping you’ll forgive us as we work out our new recording logistics! This fortnight we’re discussing loneliness and why it’s ok if you feel lonely. This is a discussion usually reserved for older generations but we think it is just as relevant when you’re young too. We share some of the times when we’ve felt lonely and what we do to try and prevent it from happening.

Stir Fry Recipe

Throw some oil into a pan with garlic, spring onions, half a lime, ground coriander, some mild chili flakes and some soy/tamari sauce (only a little). Thinly slice the tofu into little pieces and fry until it’s super crispy then throw in the rest of your veg. Cook your rice noodles, drain and put them in with the veg. Make a sauce from a tablespoon or 2 of almond butter (you could probably use peanut or cashew here) with a generous glug of soy sauce and a little bit of water. Mix up and pour over the stir fry and serve.
