Whether you are new to task management or you've fallen off the wagon a few times, this podcast is for you. Once a week, Jean and James review their progress toward a more organized (and less stressful) way of life, and talk about highlights, challenges, and questions. Sometimes they ask the experts to chime in. But the focus will always be on how two friends, who not productivity gurus, figure out how to make this system work for them longterm.

    249: Six Percent of Our Four Thousand Weeks

    In our penultimate episode, we focus on Oliver Burkeman’s book Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management For Mortals. Jean talks about how the book influenced her thinking about the time she spends. James reflects on the fact that we have spent 249 of these weeks so far making a podcast that we have both enjoyed. Jean also mentioned the Yonks app, for counting time up or down, and We Croak for random daily reminders of mortality.

    248: The Beginning Of The End

    247: In Case of Emergency: Publish This Episode

    In September 2020, we decided to record an “emergency backup” podcast. We wanted to have one recording in the vault that we could publish if we were ever in danger of missing our weekly Friday publication deadline, because we hated the idea of breaking our perfect streak. Due to various travel plans and a major life disruption (see Episode 246), this is the week we decided to break the glass and use our backup. The topic is evergreen: productivity lessons we learned in childhood.

    246: In Case Of Emergency: Bring Glasses

    On Christmas Eve, Jean had to make a hasty departure from her apartment when a water pipe burst. Thankfully, Jean is safe and well although she is dealing with the aftermath of having an unexpected water feature appear in her living room. Jean and James talk about how the experience made Jean think a lot more about the short mental checklist of items to grab on the way out the door in an emergency.

    245: The Ad Hoc Year

    James and Jean decide not to assign themselves to-dos for the week between Christmas and New Year, other than to take stock of what has turned out to be a busy year filled with things that weren’t exactly planned.

    244: Moving From Coast To Coast

    In this episode Jean describes her recent experiences helping family members with a cross-country move. Topics include packing, old-school boarding passes, and the importance of being at the correct gate. James swaps one to-do for another to finish a long-outstanding task—plus a little musing on the foibles of human nature.

    243: Updating My Most Expensive iPhone Accessory

    James updated his car for several reasons, not the least of which is wireless CarPlay support. On the other end of the accessory spectrum, Jean gets yet another CD-player-slot iPhone mount so she can show off her Deep Purple iPhone 14 Pro.
