Justin and Stu go deep on our routines and rituals and explore how they impact our personal productivity. We have similar concepts but execute them quite differently.

Episode Notes - Stationery Adjacent

Justin and Stuart discuss the use of task boards - from analog to digital. Are they are replacement for email? How easily will organizations accept them? And how can they help new projects at Nero's Notes?

One take away each:

- Set a “goof off” Pomodoro.

- Start small. 25 minutes a couple of times a day would be a great start and build up slowly.

Our first test episode, which usually would hit the cutting room flow. We thought it was a great way to introduce ourselves in a meandering and fun conversation.
