The Tortoise with Brooke McAlary

Working from home tips with Louise Miller: Life in the Time of Covid-19


Listen Later

Season 6 coming in hot! 

After some feedback and lots of questions about slow living in the time of Covid-19, Brooke and Ben decided to bring forward the new season. There are so many ways  slow living might be able to help as we all adjust to the weirdness of isolation, but even more importantly as we all start to think about what we'd like our 'new normal' to look like on the other side of it. So that's what Season 6 is going to focus on, and it will be full of practical advice, realistic suggestions and hopefully helpful strategies to navigate the world during a pandemic. 

In today’s episode Brooke speaks with Louise Miller, a productivity coach who doesn't believe in productivity for productivity's sake. They discuss the ins and outs of working from home, with lots of tools and strategies for those of you who are very new to the remote working scene.  

Louise shares her insights on: 

  • The importance of grace and compassion right now as everyone navigates this new reality
  • Why creating 'Ta Da' lists instead of 'To Do' lists is one powerful way of finding satisfaction in our work efforts - particularly on those days where we feel we're not doing enough
  • Why the loss of your commute might be affecting you more than you think 
  • How installing a buffer in to your daily rhythm can help create grace and compassion amidst the stress and worry
  • Why 'slow productivity' gets such a bad rap and why she's such a big fan of it
