Procrastination with Harry Wallace

This is not about productivity hacks! This is a fun episode where we talk less about how to do things in less time and with more attention, and more about why it’s so hard to, you know, do the thing.

Harry Wallace is a writer, journalist, theatre maker, adventurer, student, and a self-proclaimed expert procrastinator. Procrastination is a multifaceted issue, and Harry beautifully fleshes out some of the more nitty gritty issues as we discuss the psychological phenomenon of procrastination, what drives it, the ramifications, and it’s place within both the human experience and society.

This episode is a little bit longer than usual because I thought it might be nice now that a lot of folks are stuck at home, trying to occupy ourselves with nice thing instead of panic. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this, so I hope that you enjoy listening! And if you do, leaving a review would really help us reach more people (plus the nice ones make my day), and if you’re listening on spotify, sharing it to your stories would be equally excellent.

We recorded this before physical distancing became a thing, so don’t worry! Harry and I are both at home, minimising our contact with the outside world. I hope you are too.

Keep well,

Paula

P.S please, please please please, stop drinking energy drinks. Mama Paula wants you to take care of yourselves.

How to Accept a Compliment with Peter Wood

Hello! We recorded this before physical distancing became a thing, so don’t worry! Peter and I are both at home, minimising our contact with the outside world.

In this episode I talk to performer Peter Wood about how to take a compliment, and why it’s so tricky to do. Usually I would have cut out most of the tangents and odd moments and put them in a blooper reel for later, but I figure we could all use a little more levity and a few more giggles. So, here is Peter and I at the end of a very long day, there are funny voices and Kath and Kim references, and I hope you like them.

Keep well,

Paula
