How and Why you should listen to Timeboxing

Described by it's creator as "a show about creativity, productivity and sanity," Timeboxing is as insightful as it is unassuming, as well produced as it is candid. A must-listen if making stuff is how you make your way. Like a good conversation with a smart and interesting friend.

watchitya ,

Just great.

A refreshing show that takes a look at creative people and what makes them tick.

crucial taunt ,

Great podcast for creative types

This podcast is great. It deals with lots of questions we regularly ask ourselves: How do we keep doing what we love while balancing the demands of family, friends, and paying the bills? How do we go from working for others to working for ourselves? And how do we maintain our sanity while working at what we love? It's mixed beautifully with original music, web clips and Carl's own musings. Highly recommended!
