Inger and Jason have been on summer holidays. Jason's family acquired a 10 year old ginger cat, while Inger has committed to #puppyproject and put a deposit on a dangerously adorable, small fluffy puppy. Prepare for a lot of pet talk this year!

In the mailbag there's a good description of a workflow with Todoist and a lively discussion of bullet journals. The work problems segment was produced with the help of Inger's work Husband, Claude who (it seems) has a frighteningly good grasp of the problems of late stage capitalism. We're talking about the pressures of the sector, work burn out and health, so if you'd rather not listen to that, skip to our reading segment where Inger convinces Jason to read another romance novel!

We close out with a brief chat about Omnifocus (again!)

Things we mentioned:
