What it Takes to Take a Break (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a small problem with taking a carefully planned podcast break: apparently you have to do a whole lot of work first! You were on break from GTGE in August. We were not. We recorded and edited and scheduled episodes so Shannon can actually disappear for more than three weeks in September—without a computer—while Janine gets to enjoy a break from podcasting in the comfort of her apartment. From there, we wander through northern lights, unexpectedly expensive rustic accommodations, strategic
We’re Taking a Summer Break (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re taking a summer break! When we brought Getting to Good Enough back last year, we decided that building in some time off would help keep the podcast fun and fresh.

Janine counters with a thirty-year-old hug-that-should-have-been-a-handshake memory that's somehow still hanging
The Challenge of Changing Gears (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some days the hardest part of any task isn't doing it—it's stopping what you're doing so you can do the next thing. That shows up everywhere: going for a run, getting into (and out of) the shower, heading to an appointment, downsizing to a new home, or simply standing up from your desk. Along the way there are tomato plants that suddenly need cages, dogs who don't want to leave the air conditioning, and just one more thing that distracts you. Rather than trying to solve transitions once and for
