March 05, 2022 2022-W9 Parenting and Productivity in Post-Precedented times
Today I talk with Kara Linse Buckley https://www.karabuckley.com/about, Kara currently works with U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Properties, representing commercial rights for Team USA and LA 2028 where she develops innovative new commercial strategies to help athletes and sponsors. Kara is also a mom of 2.
In this episode we chat how the arc of the pandemic and global climate has shaped our relationship to productivity, work, and our families while speculating about the changes the future may bring.
Editing note: Kara's audio for the first 8 minutes is a little more challenging than the rest of the podcast. Stick with us, it gets better, and I'll get better at phone call recording next time!

February 26, 2022 2022-W8 Writing my way through post-precedented times
The past few weeks I've focused on writing as a hobby, switching up my approach to creative writing to keep in a routine. With world events I've also been reflecting on what it means to focus on such minor-in-the-scheme of things activities. I've also coined a term "post-precedented times", to indicate unprecedented times, without hope of return to normalcy.

February 13, 2022 2022-W6b New Year 2022: New reflections, catalysts, units, habit tracking, and intensity changes
In this episode I review what has worked for me so far in 2022 in terms of bringing changes that meet me at where I am in my life, and take me to where I want to go. To do that I've had to increase reflection, find new catalysts, change the units on my habits, bundle them, unbundle them, track them, and sometimes change the intensity. I've come a long way even in a month or so, and you can join me for my journey and take inspiration (or lessons learned) to yours.
