Procrastination reconsidered and driving through spider rain.
Show Notes

Jason has been in #markinghell, but dreaming of his #epictrip2021 (which you can follow on Instagram!). Meanwhile Inger took a break and drove through spider rain in Victoria before dislocating her toe in NSW. So - it's been busy.

Jason goes long and deep on procrastination again - this time looking at different sorts of procrastination and educating Inger on how to deal with lists of stuff you don't want to do. Inger then educates Jason on the strange (and kind of sexist) history of filing cabinets, so it was an asymmetrical exchange of information, but there you are.

We finish up with some two minute tips that are, frankly, a little gross, so you're going to have to listen right to the end to experience the full glory.

Mentioned:

Spider rain! It's really a thing!
The 5 second rule: 5, 4,3 ,2 ,1 Go!
A history of the filing cabinet
Tubes: a journey to the centre of the internet
The Box: how the shipping container made the world smaller and the world economy bigger
