Episode 17 -  Today we talk to Andrew O'Neill, a standup comedian, author and amazing guitar player. Andrew spent some time talking to us about how you deal with a routine, when you don't have a routine. His struggle with paying attention. Why you should write things down, and the importance of visualisation when you are deciding what your goals are. It all sounds very grown up - it wasn't.

 Some of the stuff in there is:

* A secret you didn't know about standup comedy

* Ritual Magick

* Big Bird and to-do lists

* Notebooks and showers - Aqua Notes website

* ADHD and the internet

* Meditation - The Josh Groban podcast with 10% Happier 

* Work life balance and how it applies to comedy

* You say sigil - I say goal setting

* The importance of breaking a goal into its component steps - it works like magic, (magick)

* Gnosis - and how you can move the moon in front of the sun

* Be richer tomorrow - by not buying that cup of coffee

* Neil Gaiman, Netflix and the BBC - how networking happens when you're not paying attention

* Deciding on making a difference, by having a routine

* Our version of 'The Trip'

* Andrew's stuff:

* 'About' Andrew on his website
