The one about Overwhelm

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


It's been a busy couple of weeks leading up to the end of the
year for both Inger and Jason. There's a lot of cars on their
respective work highways. While Inger was 'snappish', Jason
suddenly found himself Overwhelmed by everything.

Jason describes his  terrible, no good Tuesday and tells
Inger how he ate hot chips, went to afternoon Brazillian JuJitsu
and bullet journaled his way out of it.  Inger knows the
ways of Burnout after she got carried out of a lecture theatre to
hospital in 2018, after a terrible no good 2017.

Inger explains to Jason  why his strategies worked according
to Science, using the wonderful feminist self help book 'Burnout'
by the Nagoski sisters. Apparently it's all about running away
from the lion, which is why Jason deciding to have his face
mashed into the mat by a BJJ sparring partner was exactly The
Right Thing To Do.

In other news, Jason has been trying to read 'Risk: a user's
guide', but is annoyed about the writing style. Inger had the
opposite reaction to 'The Game' by Sean Kelly (she even sent him
an admiring note about his use of Gerunds. In the 2 minute tips
section Jason shares a new #bujo innovation and Inger shares the
'one decision that saves 100 decisions' about peer
reviewing.
