Strong Feelings

Pocket Rabbits with Eileen Webb


Listen Later

We made it to Episode 2—and hey, so did you! High five!
This week, we’re all about TIME: how we make it, how we use it, and how we think about it. We’re also joined by our very first guest, Eileen Webb, who straight-up _blew our minds_ with her take on making time on your own terms. Seriously, it’s ![💯](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/1f4af.png). Just listen already.
> Why should my work get all of my best brain?
> —Eileen Webb, founder of [Webmeadow](http://webmeadow.com/)
Here’s what we cover. (Yep, there’s a full transcript below, too!)
## Show notes
First things first: is it time for for lunch yet? We think so (we’ve been thinking about snacks since 10:15). We start out with a segment on reclaiming lunchtime for, well, whatever you want:
- Jenn tells us how she convinced her coworkers that watching Jeopardy at work is healthy. (We’re totally sold.)
- Katel sits down for a fancy meal for one.
- Sara heads out for a midday run, meetings be damned.
Next, NYG sits down with web strategist-slash-farmer Eileen Webb for an interview that’s sure to stick with all of us for quite some time. We talk about:
- How Eileen and her partner went from burnouts in the first dot-com boom to running a bakery to finding their niche doing digital strategy from their home in northern New Hampshire.
- Why morning meetings don’t work for Eileen’s brain, and how she avoids them.
- Why Eileen trades the 9-to-5 for a sunrise hike every Tuesday—and never once feels guilty about it.
- How to stop letting your calendar (and other people’s bullshit requests) run your life.
- Also, pocket bunnies (no, not _those kind)_.
