Episode notes

extended mind theory is a framework to use to understand that your brain is not necessarily a muscle or a computer, it's much more complex than that. One of the things that helps you get in o state when your procrastinine is doing something completely different are games and playing with friends. If i can get out into a garden, or if ian and play a game, or like a talk to a friend, or do just do something a like is going to bring me joy, i'm more likely to tap in to that genius than if i were to sit in front of a computer and force it to come.

Maybe you’re like us and you like to work alone, but also want to be surrounded by friends. Ideally, you’re in a flow-state getting lots of magical downloads and intuitive hits wherever you work. But this isn’t always the case. Sometimes you can’t get there from here.

That’s why we’re all about thinking of ways to use the Extended Mind Theory to increase our containers for creative work.

In this episode, Michelle, Janelle, and Wallis muse on:

What’s at the root of our procrastination habits and how has COVID contributed to this?

What are the alt POVs on procrastination we can draw from?

The Extended Mind Theory, co-working, and how to design your ideal working environment to design impactful work
