What do you do when the well runs dry-ish, and you can’t come up with new ideas? This week the Wombat Co-Host (Ursula Vernon) and I will talk about her sudden lack of ideas and how maybe a day off – a REAL day off – can help. After that we’ll talk to Sarah Hartman about how they stay productive.
Hi folks! We are currently recovering from jet lag and travel, so we’re going to share the talk I did with Patricia Pinto about how she stays productive while we recover.
I got a new job! I am not going to talk too much about it (yet), since we’re in the “hired-but-not-started” paperwork phase, but you can expect updates as things progress. In the mean time, we have a great talk with Jenett Silver! Enjoy it, and remember to Stay Productive!

This week we will talk about the difficulties our Wombat Co-Host (artist and author Ursula Vernon) is having with design and fonts, and how that is actually an Agile process. We don’t dig too deep into Agile and Scrum, but we do give a brief summary of what they are and how they are (and aren’t) used. We also check in with the Teenage Test Subject, and then talk to Sandra Tayler about how she stays productive.
