  • Episode 285 – Boring Week, Anne “Tyrrlin” Williams

    Apologies for the mic issues in the opening discussion, I have no idea what happened there. This week in our productivity updates we have a normal, not very exciting, and typical week. This is a good thing! We also talk about Ursula’s soon-to-be-updated eyeglasses, Kevin’s hurry-up-and-wait time fillers, an update on our planned trip to HI, and a chicken update. After that, we have a catch-up interview with Anne “Tyrrlin” Williams!

    While Ursula signs even more bookplates for her upcoming release, we will talk about the projects that are, well, progressing. There is an update on the new chicken coop, the arrival of the first round of chicks, what Ursula is writing (other than her signature on book plates), and the plans for Productivity Alchemy Year Six (which starts in May). After that, we have a wonderful talk with Game Designer and Musician Eloy Lastanta about how he stays productive!

    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!
