Episode 7 - Getting Sh*t Done in Recovery

Tammi and Sondra excitedly take on this sometimes boring topic by first examining the different ways in which they both tackle productivity: Tammi, a former legal secretary, is more of a taskmaster while Sondra, a former hippie, likes to follow her impulses and ride the wave. People in recovery have to make time for creativity, as it competes for the other things that have priority, like meetings, self-care, service work. They offer many ideas on how to squeeze in the creative time, such as reframing what you consider creativity, self-imposed assignments and just staying mindful. And finally, they talk about ways to avoid procrastination, spoiler: expect to be uncomfortable. The ladies share their top three tools in their recovery-slash-creativity toolboxes for the week: Sondra’s 3 fave things: On Being with Krista Tippett podcast episode with poet Marie Howe on The Power of Words to Save Us released on May 4, 2017, a Mother’s Day outing to Austin’s Barton Springs Pool, Recovery Gals Art Exchange’s Summer Solstice Theme: Abundance and IG hashtag #recoverygalsartexchange Tammi’s 3 Fave Things: IG account: @drybeclub for the dry curious, doTerra Motivate Encouraging Blend Roll-On (mint + citrus blend), The Life Coach School podcast Ep. 162: Time Management: Procrastination.
