    Anne Kadet, tries one week of 'no multi-tasking'

    One thing at a time lady! Back in September I read with huge interest this post from CAFÉ ANNE Anne Kadet, a former columnist for the Wall Street Journal in New York - where she trailled ‘no multitasking’ for a whole week and reported on it in detail. Think no texting while walking the dog, doing nothing except eating when your supposed to be eating and included an elaborate chart with 480 cells to work out what was permitted or not during the experiment. The small details she discovered, I thought, we’re fascinating. Anne’s substack newsletter is CAFÉ ANNEa weekly newsletter with a focus on New York City that takes a fresh look at the everyday, delights in the absurd and profiles unusual folks who do things their way. Although I don’t read it every week, I do recommend it, she is humorous, connected and a beautiful writer. Get full access to Company on Sundays at companyonsundays.substack.com/subscribe

    Sarah Stamm; creator and maker

    Sarah Stamm is a company of one - Salisbury and Maude is her business run from her farmhouse overlooking the Victorian Alps near Beechworth. Mornings start at the crack of dawn for Sarah Stamm with a kiss goodbye from her hubby. First she talks to her cat, checks messages from her ‘hungry and poor’ university aged children. Breakfast is always on the fly. No tea or coffee, just crisp cups of rainwater from the tank. Then onto creative work - be-it sewing, knitting or wreath making. In fact most days are not highly organised, there is much time communicating with her audience online or taking photos for social media. Work finishes when the fur-babies pester her too much for dinner. Easy dinner. Catch the nightly news. More knitting, some wordle and then bed around 9.30-10.00pm. “I sleep soundly and I dream in colour, it’s often when I do my best creative work.” Reading: Practising Simplicity by Jodi Wilson (who also has a Substack - hello Jodi Wilson !) Sarah loves the quote: “When we find perspective and we practice simplicity we learn to see and then embrace the beauty of our ordinary remarkable lives.”  Get full access to Company on Sundays at companyonsundays.substack.com/subscribe

    Georgie Quigley: Publicist with country roots

    Georgie Quigley is a publicity agent for her own business Georgie Quigley Public Relations or GQPR. She grew up in Warren, NSW, went to boarding school in Orange and now lives in neutral bay with her new husband Alex! This is what an average day in her life might look like; Snooze. Snooze. Snooze. Floss teeth. Run. “Sometimes I just do laps around our local park but if I am looking for a bit more the views from Cremorne Point make the hills worth it.” Then clean desk. Write to-do list. Hard jobs first. Anxiety eased. First coffee of the day is at 10am, always after a bottle of water. Lunch is at the desk. Inbox ends the day at zero. Reformer Pilates x2 per week. She loves to cook of an evening, especially now that some of her friends have moved away from Sydney. Then it’s a cup of tea and a series on the couch and the day ends (too late) with Wordle completed just before midnight.  The best place to find Georgie is probably via her email - seeing as she is an admirable inbox zero gal otherwise she’s @georgiequigley_pr on Instagram.  I’ve worked with Georgie a little bit for the Women Behind Wool podcast and film series I produced with my good friend Penny Ashby who’s the woman behind wool fashion label Lady Kate. Georgie worked up publicity for the project on Sunrise - with a huge feature shot on Penny’s farm, ABC News 24 and in Australian Woman’s Weekly.

    Nadine Ingram: Flour and Stone Bakery, Woolloomooloo

    Nadine Ingram is the much heralded artisan baker behind Sydney’s famous Flour and Stone Bakery at Wooloomooloo. She grew up on a dairy farm in the Hunter Valley and has worked in London, perfecting her pastry talents at the likes of Le Gavroche, Le Caprivce and The Ivy. In the early 2000’s Nadine transitioned from back room pastry work to the more personable and engaging stage of bakeries such as Melbourne’s famous Bourke Street Bakery. Nadine has has a remarkable career to date, dotted with many notable nominations (2017 Telstra Businesswoman of the Year) and collaborations (Cornersmith, Williams Sonoma) that are the result of her deep rooted ethos for human connection, creativity and looking after one’s soul. I approached Nadine Ingram to record something for Daily Routines because I am fascinated with all the world’s early risers, there is a magic about being into the day while most of us are sleeping and then at the other end of the day - how on earth do they survive?!  But this recording surprised me. It’s not about early rising at all.  I don’t know Nadine but I’ve learned through this recording that she is a beautiful soul, who’s deeply connected to this world and her calling as a baker. “I feel like there is a synergy between my body and my mind and my heart that makes me feel most alive when I am baking and so I identify myself as a baker. That synergy really comes alive when I am at home.” Nadine not only loves being a baker, she loves the art of meditation and lighting the fire on a cold evening, to sit with a glass of wine maybe? He day always starts with a cup of tea.  Listening to Kate Cebrano “My life is a Symphony,” while she walks and Chet Baker while she bakes.

    Bec Fing

    This week’s guest is Bec Fing who lives on the outskirts of Goondiwindi. She runs a consulting business House Paddock Consulting, a homewares design label, Bec Fing Designs, a lifestyle shop in town, Meld Lifestyle, a juniors accessories label, Grey Bird and also does contract auditing in the cotton industry. There’s a bit going on with Bec - but she capably handles it all - and don’t worry this is not a preachy interview, she has her work slumps too. Bec’s delivery and approach to all these projects is very down-to-earth. I think you’ll learn a lot from her. Get full access to Company on Sundays at companyonsundays.substack.com/subscribe

    Sophie Godwin, Queen of Sunday's

    Welcome to a new way of doing this podcast; Daily Routines. We’re here on Substack because I know how much you guys love this podcast, and I reckon the good people of Substack will love it too. We have not had a Daily Routines now for almost a year and I’ve missed it (and you dear listeners) so I just can’t wait to get back into it. A new episode of Daily Routines will drop each week up until Christmas when we will take a break until the end of Australian school holidays in 2024. If you can’t do without, there is a backlog of Daily Routines to make your way through including episodes with Annabelle Hickson (Galah Press), Carmen Quade (seriously good organisational tips in here) and the beautiful Jane Cay of Birdsnest. I mean who even looks like this on a Sunday? I certainly want to! This is the delightful Sophie Godwin, UK based recipe writer, caterer and author. In this episode, Sophie leads us through an ideal Sunday - and believe me there is nothing to be scared of - she laments ‘not really having a routine’ but then realises it’s full of nothinness, simplicity and just doing what she loves. Sophie’s first book; Sundays, A Cookbook, is our kind of ode to Sundays. You can purchase it here now. (Good chrissy pressie ladies!) Sophie likes; Sleeping in. 10am at least. Walk. Not a big one. Couch. Scrolling. Bit-o-cooking. Maybe a roast in the oven. Maybe a late lunch with good friends. Only the one’s with a relaxing vibe. Maybe some rain. More couch. More scrolling. Big bowl of Pasta for dinner. Showered in Parmesan. Do you dread Sunday’s too? Send this to any friends you’ve ever had a big Saturday with and make their week/life better.
