    Episode 349 - Normality, Andrew Hartman

    Hi folks! We are blessed by a week of "normality" (even if Kevin was on call for it), and so we talk a little bit about that, give an update on where we'll be in the next few weeks/months, and remind everyone about the change in releases for the show. After that, we have an incredible talk with Andrew Hartman, CEO of Time Boss!

    Episode 347 - Transforming Rocks, Letters

    Hi Folks! This week, we dive down the rabbit hole that is the GoBots Wiki, as Ursula discovers the Rock Lord GoBots, and admires the writing style of the person who maintains it. We'll also catch up on our productivity and then we read your letters!

Useful and Comforting

Productivity Alchemy is my new “comfort listen” podcast. I like learning how other people think, also the banter, and occasional tangents onto special interests (chickens!)

Encouraging in all the good ways

Practical, big-hearted, flexible, & funny. Try something, change something, and hear how other interesting people try to get, remain, or return to being productive.

Meets you where you’re at

Productivity Alchemy is a productivity podcast that doesn’t leave me feeling inadequate, and that actually gives me some tools to be gentle with myself while I keep working on my own stuff. It’s funny, nerdy, and down to earth.
