The On The Reg team have been busy with All The Things. In Jason's case, making salami and in Inger's case, possibly signing up to one too many book projects.

In the mailbag we marvel over dashboards for packing lists and cool new AI tools recommended by listeners.

This week Inger read Cal Newports's latest book 'Slow Productivity: the lost art of accomplishment without burnout' where Cal (maybe?) discovers the point of unions and even name checks Marx. The team segue onto an article about workplace burnout, which is a good pastry course accompaniment.

There's some two minute tip action at the end where Inger confesses that she's now in a love triangle with ChattieG and Claude.
