IS this book bullshit? Habit Three of the seven habits of highly effective people

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us!


Jason and Inger are behind on their podcasting schedule because
Inger had Not-Covid/ Not-flu and too sick to record last Sunday.
Meanwhile Jason has injured himself at Brazilian Ju Jitsu -
again.

Jason texts a picture of his inner thigh to Inger, live on air,
to show her the damage. She is shocked (not at the body part
itself, because she lives with a pair of 50 year old male inner
thighs) because she didn't know bruises could actually be that
big.

In our listener feedback section, Martin Emo speak pipe's in some
Good Advice on making our sound better. Inger tried to action
with a 'there I fixed it' style home brew 'confuse and diffuse'
set up .... with egg cartons, and a towel.  Further work
needs to be done, but she's quite happy with how it turned out.
Matthew sent us in a good #bujo numbering system by email, so the
pair are really benefitting from all the free consulting offered
by their audience!

In our work problems segment, we give Chapter three of Seven
Habits of Highly Effective People the full 'is this book
bullshit?' treatment. As usual, Inger is exasperated with Covey
and suggests the book should come with a content warning 'essence
of patriarchy', but Jason does a good job of convincing her that
a certain amount of preachy-ness is part of the self help genre.
Both agree that they could have less Mormonism but that Chapter
three is full of excellent productivity tips.

In our reading section Inger drops the knowledge on a couple of
books for distressed thesis writers and finally tells Jason what
romance novels she is reading. Inger argues they are 'the
instruction manual for women' and Jason reluctantly agrees to try
reading one. Jason has been reading about academic integrity,
which is a good thing because Inger just wants to benefit from
this knowledge and not have to actually do this kind of reading
herself.

Inger has a two minute tip - and it's quite a good one. Jason has
been doing 50+ hour work weeks, so he gets a pass this
time!
