We kick off today's episode complaining, as usual. What's up with the false spring? Meredith of course having excellent weather in Oklahoma. She loves to spoil Sheldon's complaining. Easter happened, and Meredith has a hot take on Harry Potter Lego sets. And then - Sheldon + bib shorts = entertainment for all. About 80% through recording almost 2 hours of material, Sheldon realizes that his computer hates him and has switched the microphone to his web cam mic.... No, he doesn't live in a cardboard box, but sounds like he does this episode. Just pretend it's a "retro" episode. K? Cool. The guests today, however, are fantastic. We decided to keep them a surprise, but anyone that knows Echelon will guess it pretty quick - hey, we try to make it fun. They have delivered tremendous amounts of joy and fitness to this community, and are perhaps the epitome of welcoming and kind. They make us laugh, they've made us cry, and they always make us sweat. We have a fantastic discussion and we learn about what is in their future! Ok - that's enough insight. Tune in for the rest. Connected Fitness news brings all kinds of interesting stuff as usual, Peloton messes with prices and releases the Guide; lululemon releases two subscription models - one including content from 3 other fitness platforms which is pretty interesting (have we seen the start of consolidation?); and a fitness ring company sells a million rings. Tonal releases strength exercises specialized for Golf (with other sports to come). Echelon news bring the departure of some beloved instructors, and the introduction of new ones and some great new groups like Form Factory Nation. Tons of great shoutouts - this continue continues to grow! Snackdown results are in from the Cadbury challenge.... and we kick off another battle, this time in the movie realm!

In this episode I talk to regular contributor Dr. Edward Mills about taking a break. As the flipside to my episode with Ellie Hassan before Christmas we discuss what it's like when you're not very good at taking breaks, and how we using our hobbies and interests to get ourselves away from the computer, and the culture of overwork.

I'm your host, Kelly Preece. 2 00:00:15,870 --> 00:00:32,270 And every fortnight I talk to a different guest about researchers development and everything in between. 3 00:00:32,270 --> 00:00:36,360 Hello and welcome to the latest episode of R, D and the In Betweens. 4 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,280 I'm coming to you from a an almost two week break from work. 5 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:47,060 So I took a couple of weeks of annual leave and inspired by that, I wanted to do a second podcast episode about taking a break. 6 00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:52,370 So you might remember, I spoke to one of our PGR Ellie Hassan, before Christmas about taking a break. 7 00:00:52,370 --> 00:00:57,440 And she talked about the kind of really practical way she approaches her research 8 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,910 degree as a job and kind of doesn't feel guilty for taking these breaks. 9 00:01:01,910 --> 00:01:05,660 So I thought it might be good to come at it from the other side of the coin. 10 00:01:05,660 --> 00:01:09,200 So I'm talking once again to a regular contributor. 11 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:20,690 I think we call him now Edward Mills, who is now Dr. Edward Mills, officially about being the kind of people that aren't very good at taking breaks, 12 00:01:20,690 --> 00:01:25,190 who regularly experience burnout, how we manage that, 13 00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:33,740 and also kind of what strategies we have in place and particularly kind of hobbies and activities we engage in. 14 00:01:33,740 --> 00:01:39,630 to basically force us to take those much, much needed breaks. 15 00:01:39,630 --> 00:01:48,380 Okay, so let's start with kind of a million dollar question is, which is why do you find it so difficult to take a break? 16 00:01:48,380 --> 00:01:56,600 I suppose it's just kind of the way I am really the risk of sounding a little bit like I'm sitting on a psychiatrist's couch. 17 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:03,290 It's it's sort of just the way I've always been at it. I don't quite know why, but I know what that means. 18 00:02:03,290 --> 00:02:11,510 In a practical sense. For me, it means that I'm always thinking about work in one way or another. 19 00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:19,050 And it's quite difficult to train my brain out of that. Yeah, and I, I can relate to that in a lot of ways, but I think different. 20 00:02:19,050 --> 00:02:24,080 I do know why I;m like that, and I think that's probably because of the job that I.m 21 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,460 in the you know, it's it's my job to understand these kind of cultures of work. 22 00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:31,850 And I think there's an anxiety element to it. 23 00:02:31,850 --> 00:02:40,400 There's a perfectionism element to it, significant perfectionism, an element that kind of keeps you feeling like you you must keep working. 24 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,350 And I think being the product of a very particular kind of school system that, you know, 25 00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:49,310 I went to old fashioned grammar school and it was very much kind of like you work 26 00:02:49,310 --> 00:02:55,550 constantly rather than thinking about kind of quality over quantity necessarily. 27 00:02:55,550 --> 00:03:01,160 And one thing to add on that front, actually, I think very often when you hear people say, 28 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:09,270 oh, I can't stop working, I'm always working, I find it hard to relax. That tends to be seen as something of a humble brag 29 00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:14,460 It's not, though, it's not, though. No, this is the thing, really. Certainly, certainly in my case it's not. 30 00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:18,090 I actually think that in many ways what I do is worse because of this. 31 00:03:18,090 --> 00:03:22,530 This is it can be something of a problem. What I'm saying. 32 00:03:22,530 --> 00:03:27,460 Oh, I'm saying. Oh, I'm always thinking about work. That doesn't mean that I'm always working. 33 00:03:27,460 --> 00:03:34,320 No, what it actually means is that I'm always running on about 30 percent capacity. 34 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:40,260 Even when I should be running on 100 percent, I'm just running on 30 percent when I should also be running on zero percent. 35 00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:44,190 What is it that that phrase that you said that your dad uses to describe you? 36 00:03:44,190 --> 00:03:54,610 You're either flat, flat out or. Yeah, my my dad my dad had a phrase that he used to describe me, which is I have two speeds. 37 00:03:54,610 --> 00:04:01,860 I'm either flat out as in going flat out or flat out as in flat out on the floor. 38 00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:07,020 Which pretty much sums me up. I think it sums up a lot of people who do who do a PhD 39 00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:10,620 By no means. By no means everybody. Nor is it an ideal to aim towards. 40 00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:14,370 No, but it is a common experience. And I've I've, as you know, 41 00:04:14,370 --> 00:04:21,060 written a bit about this in a chapter that's coming out about the culture of overwork and imposter syndrome and the way that 42 00:04:21,060 --> 00:04:27,410 that feeds into this kind of really complex and toxic culture of kind of we'll just sit in front of a computer and work, 43 00:04:27,410 --> 00:04:28,200 work, work. 44 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:37,680 But also, you know, the the challenge when you're so invested in the work that you do because you have to be to motivate yourself to to do research, 45 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,720 it's difficult to leave that behind. 46 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:46,440 I think I'm apart from the fact that I've kind of it's my job and it's now my research to reflect on these things. 47 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:54,410 I think, you know, having been an academic and I, I always say that I was a very successful academic, 48 00:04:54,410 --> 00:05:01,950 but I was also a very unsuccessful at being an academic in the sense that, you know, I've got good module evaluations. 49 00:05:01,950 --> 00:05:06,660 I presented my work at conferences, I got publications, I brought in research funding. Did all of the ticked all of the boxes. 50 00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:11,190 You've got to tick. But I burned myself out. 51 00:05:11,190 --> 00:05:16,680 I did it twice in the space of five years. And in very different ways. 52 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:24,660 Very different reasons. But overwork is that is at the heart of it and not being able to really manage work life balance. 53 00:05:24,660 --> 00:05:31,440 And that's why I stopped being an academic. I learnt that actually I wasn't very good at putting those boundaries in place. 54 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:37,890 And that's why, you know, and I've talked I talk about it a lot. That's why I went into professional services, because it's it's more nine to five. 55 00:05:37,890 --> 00:05:46,800 It's encourages work life balance more. And given the kind of person that I am, it's better for me to manage. 56 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,330 And I suspect that this will come up in the discussion that we have today. 57 00:05:49,330 --> 00:06:03,750 But one of the things to bear in mind when we talk about what I do to to to relax and how I do that is the fact that I I don't have young children, 58 00:06:03,750 --> 00:06:06,840 you know, or really all that many caring responsibilities. 59 00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:16,050 If you want a good example of how diverse people's experiences of engagement with academia are. 60 00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:17,970 Some people, those of you who are on Twitter, 61 00:06:17,970 --> 00:06:28,410 will probably have seen the response recently to academic who who tweeted piece of advice on how they have had 75 published pieces since 2008. 62 00:06:28,410 --> 00:06:30,700 I think it was. 63 00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:38,610 And the responses to that are very interesting because they they highlight how many people are juggling academia with caring responsibilities, 64 00:06:38,610 --> 00:06:43,980 with families, with other jobs, with independent research, with other work. 65 00:06:43,980 --> 00:06:50,260 And that's not something that I myself have necessarily got much experience in doing. 66 00:06:50,260 --> 00:06:56,520 No and it is very much that really old fashioned now mantra publish or perish within the academy. 67 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:02,910 And it you know, it links into these things about metrics and outputs and the way that we kind of that we value the 68 00:07:02,910 --> 00:07:07,590 outcomes of research in terms of the REF and the way that we value teaching in the in the TEF 69 00:07:07,590 --> 00:07:11,070 And now the KEP has launched. So we got all of the Fs 70 00:07:11,070 --> 00:07:15,690 And I think that the really important thing there is well, there's two really important things. 71 00:07:15,690 --> 00:07:19,860 One is that this is the culture of higher education. 72 00:07:19,860 --> 00:07:28,410 And so, too, it's a kind of go against that and take breaks and have a work life balance and practise self care. 73 00:07:28,410 --> 00:07:34,990 All of these things are a kind of quite a complex, difficult and brave act. 74 00:07:34,990 --> 00:07:41,460 And because you're going against the system essentially. So I often do this and I do a career talk. 75 00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:47,280 It's called I call it an alternative career talk that kind of maps, my career path and work on, if possible, career story. 76 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,960 And it's very good. Yeah, lots of people have seen it lots of times. 77 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,250 I guess it's it's the classic kind of will will carry out talk about this. 78 00:07:56,250 --> 00:08:01,920 But it's it is a reflection on why I stopped being an academic and a lot of ways and I talk about my 79 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,270 life when I was an academic and fact that I was working seven days a week on a four day week contract. 80 00:08:06,270 --> 00:08:08,860 And I was working, you know, from 8 81 00:08:08,860 --> 00:08:17,250 In the morning to 9 o'clock at night, and I was completely burnt out and I had literally no life, I had no you know, I lived away from my family. 82 00:08:17,250 --> 00:08:24,320 I moved to a new place. I wasn't able to make friends because I was working all the time and. 83 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,260 They kind of really negative space that got me into. 84 00:08:27,260 --> 00:08:35,210 And what I've got now and one of the things I talk about now is kind of, you know, the fact that I enjoy my job and I'm good at what I do, 85 00:08:35,210 --> 00:08:49,310 but also that I have these miraculous things called hobbies and interests that I just was not able to have when I was when I was an academic. 86 00:08:49,310 --> 00:08:54,200 And I'm not like I always sort of say I'm not suggesting that you can't do these things as an academic. 87 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,470 I'm saying that I couldn't do these things as an academic. It's very personal. 88 00:08:57,470 --> 00:09:01,880 And I think in many ways you should do these things as you absolutely should. I just wasn't right. 89 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,900 And I know lots of people who managed to do it. I'm not very good at it. 90 00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:11,780 And it's one of those difficult kind of reflections where you go, actually, 91 00:09:11,780 --> 00:09:15,320 I'm really good at this thing, you know, being an academic and there's things about it I love. 92 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:21,620 But actually it and I aren't really suited for each other in lots of different ways. 93 00:09:21,620 --> 00:09:24,860 And I just wasn't very good at managing that. 94 00:09:24,860 --> 00:09:29,270 But now, as I said, I work an environment that's more nine to five. 95 00:09:29,270 --> 00:09:34,190 So I have that, you know, I have that privilege, I guess. 96 00:09:34,190 --> 00:09:41,540 And it's much more encouraged. But I am much more having burn out so significantly a couple of times. 97 00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:51,500 I am more diligent with myself in recognising the signs, but also be kind of engaging in hobbies and practising self care. 98 00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:55,370 And if you follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I talk about this non-stop. 99 00:09:55,370 --> 00:10:01,880 And I've got a book chapter coming out about it. So it's it's it's become the thing to talk about, but to talk honestly about it. 100 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:07,290 And sometimes that's saying, you know, I'm not very good at it. So. 101 00:10:07,290 --> 00:10:13,290 Thinking about that and we can talk about some of mine in a minute, but like what are your what are your hobbies? 102 00:10:13,290 --> 00:10:20,370 What are you. What are the things that you do to take you away from the research that force you into a break? 103 00:10:20,370 --> 00:10:25,770 You know, if we change languages here is would basically be a GCSE French speaking exam. 104 00:10:25,770 --> 00:10:29,580 Always the linguist. Sorry, everybody. No. 105 00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:32,980 So to answer the question, there's a few, I think. 106 00:10:32,980 --> 00:10:39,660 And they fall into a couple of different categories. The general thing that connects them is organised fun. 107 00:10:39,660 --> 00:10:44,020 And in the I love organised fun. I know in the in my research for this 108 00:10:44,020 --> 00:10:47,670 I went up and looked looked up the phrase organised fun favourite definition 109 00:10:47,670 --> 00:10:51,930 for it comes in the ever reliable and ever well sourced urban dictionary, 110 00:10:51,930 --> 00:10:59,670 which describes it as a compulsory activity organised to work, intended to be fun. 111 00:10:59,670 --> 00:11:05,430 But in fact, so lame that it's impossible to actually enjoy ourselves or words to that effect. 112 00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:10,500 They they don't know me. I disagree with that as well. 113 00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:18,300 I've tended to find that because I am generally just not very good at sitting with my feet up and doing nothing. 114 00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:25,860 I tend to gravitate towards activities that have a measurable goal or outcome to them. 115 00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:35,430 So longtime listeners to this podcast. Know, that a few months ago I talked about the benefits of going very fast down a hill on a bike. 116 00:11:35,430 --> 00:11:42,240 I can now confirm I'm actually going slightly slower down the hills on bikes than I was and certainly a lot slower going up the hills on bikes. 117 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,860 Better. I was who I was before. 118 00:11:43,860 --> 00:11:55,170 But with the resumption of organised sport activities, I've got back into cycling with other people again, which is really fun. 119 00:11:55,170 --> 00:12:03,330 It combines the social benefits of seeing other people with not having to just sit and argue, where will we go next? 120 00:12:03,330 --> 00:12:12,290 Because you're constantly moving, which is always a benefit. Also, cafe stops because cafes are good. 121 00:12:12,290 --> 00:12:22,240 If exercise is one of the things I do, though, I think the trend towards organised fun is something that I'd kind of carry elsewhere as well. 122 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:30,610 So one subject that I have not spoken about before on this podcast is scale modelling. 123 00:12:30,610 --> 00:12:39,410 This is something I have gotten into lately. It is quite possibly the geekiest hobby I've ever had. 124 00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:44,660 And that's saying something. Yes, but it effectively involves making scale models using little kits 125 00:12:44,660 --> 00:12:50,210 Nice. So there is a shelf next to next to the desk that I use, 126 00:12:50,210 --> 00:12:56,720 which is basically full of little models of aircraft in terms of time investment vs. money spent. 127 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:05,900 They're actually pretty good because for 10 pounds you can get about four or five hours of building out of it. 128 00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:12,170 Effectively, you can do it well or you can do it like I do, which is badly. 129 00:13:12,170 --> 00:13:15,590 But however you do it, what a hobby. 130 00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:20,570 Like scale modelling or I think in your case, is it Lego? 131 00:13:20,570 --> 00:13:27,260 Yes, it's like I would do. Is it will it's a bit difficult to do Lego badly. 132 00:13:27,260 --> 00:13:31,880 I think I would manage it. But whatever the hobby is, and however you do it 133 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,640 The benefit of a hobby like that is that it forces you to spend time away from the screen. 134 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,020 And this is something I think I spoke about on the podcast about writing up a few months back. 135 00:13:42,020 --> 00:13:48,680 about getting away from the screen while still doing something is the main way really in which I relax. 136 00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:53,030 And I think that, like, you know, you said the Lego and I think it's a key example for me. 137 00:13:53,030 --> 00:13:58,360 You know, it's it's very much the same. It has to be organised, kind of goal oriented. 138 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:07,940 I like following instructions. I'm just that kind of person. And so doing things like building diaogon alley out of Lego 139 00:14:07,940 --> 00:14:16,190 And, you know, the other thing I do with my time, which is sewing or various forms of crafting and crochet, I do embroidery and cross stitch. 140 00:14:16,190 --> 00:14:20,450 Any any of the crafting. I like the productiveness of it. 141 00:14:20,450 --> 00:14:27,980 I feel like it. I think there's an inbuilt thing of feeling, not feeling like I'm wasting time, like I'm getting this. 142 00:14:27,980 --> 00:14:32,090 There's physical output to it. So it's going back to that kind of output mentality. 143 00:14:32,090 --> 00:14:40,280 You know, if there's a dress or a jacket or a shawl or a jumper that says I just need some space surrounded by planets, 144 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:45,530 that's something I'm currently working on. But I love the idea of the Airfix Excellence Framework 145 00:14:45,530 --> 00:14:50,600 The Lego Excellence Framework. The LEF. Yeah, the LEF. But all of yeah. 146 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,130 All of these things kind of are very instructions oriented. You kind of create something out of it. 147 00:14:55,130 --> 00:14:56,210 Even with the Lego, you know, 148 00:14:56,210 --> 00:15:05,210 I've got I'm looking at various bits of Hogwarts are to the left of me and then diagon alley in the hallway to the right 149 00:15:05,210 --> 00:15:09,920 Hogwarts to the left of me diagon alley to the right. Here I am stuck in the middle. Yes, very much so. 150 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,450 But it's you know, there's there's that sense of output. 151 00:15:14,450 --> 00:15:20,890 But I think for me, coming from a creative background, there's a creativity element to it, particularly to the crafting and the sewing 152 00:15:20,890 --> 00:15:26,690 You know that there is that element that, you know, is in my personality. 153 00:15:26,690 --> 00:15:30,260 But also there's an awful lot of research about the impact of creativity and creative, 154 00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:38,210 active activities on wellbeing and on kind of personal identity and self kind of realisation, 155 00:15:38,210 --> 00:15:45,530 actualisation, all this of stuff, which is why creative practises are used in therapeutic context, right? 156 00:15:45,530 --> 00:15:52,520 Absolutely. And if I can go off on a slight tangent here with respect to some of the research that I've done, 157 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:59,090 there's a lot of evidence that in creative writing or their most effective ways to do this and to get outputs, 158 00:15:59,090 --> 00:16:02,570 to use that terminology again, is to work on the constraints. 159 00:16:02,570 --> 00:16:10,340 The Olipou movement in post-war France wrote about this idea of 160 00:16:10,340 --> 00:16:16,370 constrained literature whereby in order to motivate yourself and to stimulate yourself, 161 00:16:16,370 --> 00:16:24,050 you give yourself limits within which to work. The most famous example of this is  George Perec, who published entire novel that. 162 00:16:24,050 --> 00:16:36,080 Doesn't use the letter E once. Yes. And I think this feeds into the idea of harnessing your personality rather than trying to fight against it. 163 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:45,440 If you are a working person, by which I mean if you're someone who struggles to switch off, switch off. 164 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,740 And still switch off. And again, I hasten to add, that can often be a very bad thing. 165 00:16:50,740 --> 00:16:52,550 It's absolutely always a very bad thing. 166 00:16:52,550 --> 00:17:02,030 The best way to relax, therefore, is to acknowledge that and give yourself something else to do rather than to try and say no. 167 00:17:02,030 --> 00:17:07,730 Now I am going to relax. The important thing in that case is that you do give yourself things to do. 168 00:17:07,730 --> 00:17:10,770 Otherwise, when you're on your day off, you will. 169 00:17:10,770 --> 00:17:15,940 Find yourself itching just to maybe reply to that one e-mail, it wants to feel like you've not wasted your day. 170 00:17:15,940 --> 00:17:20,130 Yeah, and I think that is kind of that's another bit of it, 171 00:17:20,130 --> 00:17:25,080 because the days where I don't do very much and like, you know, I've just come back from some annual leave. 172 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:35,130 And actually I was incredibly tired because we've been working flat out since January and there's a global pandemic and, you know, all of these things. 173 00:17:35,130 --> 00:17:40,680 And so I did a lot of sleeping or resting and I didn't actually get to do any 174 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,610 any sewing or any of my kind of hobby type stuff until the end of last week. 175 00:17:44,610 --> 00:17:46,630 And I was really frustrated. I was like, I have waste. 176 00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:55,680 I've wasted wasted the time because the idea that you don't have an output to your time is is really difficult for me. 177 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:02,460 And so I think what you're saying about harnessing your personality and finding it's you know, it's the stuff I talk about in terms of self care. 178 00:18:02,460 --> 00:18:07,500 It's finding what works for you as a person because it will be incredibly specific. 179 00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:17,070 And hobbies always are incredibly specific. And, you know, sometimes you have to you know, I've I tend to be kind of instructions oriented. 180 00:18:17,070 --> 00:18:24,170 But during the pandemic, I finally committed to taking up the ukulele and had one for a couple of years. 181 00:18:24,170 --> 00:18:31,980 But I hadn't I'd sort of mucked around with it but I hadn't really learnt. But my neighbour, two doors down is a ukulele teacher, so we could have outside lessons. 182 00:18:31,980 --> 00:18:36,930 And it all seemed perfect. And kind of that's been quite a different its creative still 183 00:18:36,930 --> 00:18:42,300 But there's been quite different thing for me because it doesn't have the end product and goal in quite the same way. 184 00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:50,250 So but, you know, I find that once I get practising and playing stuff and kind of singing along to my kind of favourite songs, 185 00:18:50,250 --> 00:18:54,780 which tend to be either kind of 90s pop or the Beatles, 186 00:18:54,780 --> 00:19:04,860 I don't really have a very diverse taste in music then you know that I find that so soothing and so relaxing. 187 00:19:04,860 --> 00:19:09,990 And that's been quite a different thing for me because, like, it it's not that kind of goal oriented. 188 00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:15,870 And also it's something it's something you can do badly. My version of you have to I have to accept that which I'm not very good at. 189 00:19:15,870 --> 00:19:20,970 As a perfectionist, I'm not very good at not immediately being very good at something. 190 00:19:20,970 --> 00:19:29,910 That's been a really tough lesson to learn. Weirdly, my version of that, my kind of slightly less constrained but still creative, 191 00:19:29,910 --> 00:19:34,050 blowing the boundaries between doing nothing and having a rigid set of instructions. 192 00:19:34,050 --> 00:19:40,870 Practise is also musical. It is making arrangements of entirely inappropriate songs for Brass Band. 193 00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:46,200 For Brass Band. Yes. Shout out to Exeter Railway Band look us up. 194 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:51,510 We have a website and a Twitter page as well. So I've been trying to arrange pop songs, 195 00:19:51,510 --> 00:20:02,100 venga boys Medley's songs from Frozen for Brass Band because I can't imagine anything better than frozen for brass band. 196 00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:11,040 No, it is a step into the unknown, though. You have got to be careful. Niches Frozen 2 joke. 197 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,570 And I think the harnessing of personality thing obviously is is central to this. 198 00:20:15,570 --> 00:20:23,790 But also I, like a lot of people, really struggled with this kind of thing when the pandemic started. 199 00:20:23,790 --> 00:20:30,960 So the pandemic started. And, you know, my concept of work life balance and and everything really went out the window. 200 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:42,660 And I had to manage my working day in a very different way because, you know, my working life and my home life are now very much integrated. 201 00:20:42,660 --> 00:20:48,460 And so I had to recalibrate a lot of that. And I actually found myself. You know, 202 00:20:48,460 --> 00:20:52,590 and in part due to kind of the fatigue that we all experienced as kind of part 203 00:20:52,590 --> 00:20:56,490 of lockdowns and everything pointing it were difficult to do these things. 204 00:20:56,490 --> 00:21:00,840 So actually, I, I tried to make them into a habit. 205 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,760 So I have I this is I mean, this is a revelation into my personality. 206 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:17,370 I have reminders on my phone of like chores and tasks I need to do every day. And I added things like read a chapter of a book or, you know, 207 00:21:17,370 --> 00:21:27,570 sew one seam or one step in a garment to just try and push myself to do those things. 208 00:21:27,570 --> 00:21:34,350 And some days, you know, all that I could cope with mentally and physically was to read that one chapter and to say that one seam 209 00:21:34,350 --> 00:21:41,720 But of course, more often than not, you start. And it spirals and. 210 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:48,410 I found that really helpful as a way to kind of I don't do anymore to have these reminders because I've got back into it, 211 00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:53,270 but it's it was a real kind of way to kick start me back into. 212 00:21:53,270 --> 00:21:56,900 And again, it's harnessing my personality, isn't it? I mean, 213 00:21:56,900 --> 00:22:00,230 I like to tick things off. I don't like having red dots on my phone. 214 00:22:00,230 --> 00:22:08,270 So having it in that way and utilising this kind of lists and reminders was a way to get me back into doing it. 215 00:22:08,270 --> 00:22:13,700 Yeah, kind of like like coaching a football team made of herbs. 216 00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:18,770 A lot of it comes down to time management. Oh, that's terrible. Thank you very much. 217 00:22:18,770 --> 00:22:28,760 But if I were in that situation, I would also put things like do an airfix model or go for a bike ride on my list. 218 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,620 I certainly do put them into my diary, my planner 219 00:22:32,620 --> 00:22:38,390 Yeah, because that's an important part of making sure that those are treated as part of your. 220 00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:44,430 Day to day life and thereby ingraining that sort of time off. 221 00:22:44,430 --> 00:22:49,490 That is might be better described as time doing other stuff here into your routine. 222 00:22:49,490 --> 00:22:57,190 Mm hmm. Absolutely. And. It's so I guess to. 223 00:22:57,190 --> 00:23:04,210 To end on, we've talked about kind of how we force ourselves to take breaks and the hobbies and the interest 224 00:23:04,210 --> 00:23:09,700 that we have and about the importance of harnessing your personality to make it work to you. 225 00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:14,320 So I guess if somebody is out there and they're thinking, okay, but I don't know, you know, 226 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:20,980 how do I find the Harry Potter Lego sets are my thing or sewing or arranging bengaboys for brass band? 227 00:23:20,980 --> 00:23:28,750 How how how have you gone on that journey to kind of find those those things that work for you? 228 00:23:28,750 --> 00:23:30,100 That's a difficult one to answer, 229 00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:39,650 particularly given that as time as recording opportunities for discovering these kinds of things are a little bit more limited. 230 00:23:39,650 --> 00:23:46,750 Yes, they were. So, I mean, I wouldn't have discovered my interest in arranging for brass band had I not been in a brass band already. 231 00:23:46,750 --> 00:23:53,380 I wouldn't have discovered my interest in scale modelling had I not been able to one day be walking through a garden centre, 232 00:23:53,380 --> 00:23:57,880 see some airfix and think, oh, I might have a go at this. 233 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:05,170 But my general advice is, as banal as it might be, would be to explore it. 234 00:24:05,170 --> 00:24:11,920 Look at what I think about what kinds of things you like to do rather than emerging in terms of. 235 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,750 Oh. I wouldn't like to do this or I would like to do this. 236 00:24:15,750 --> 00:24:20,850 Think about what you value in an activity and take it from there. 237 00:24:20,850 --> 00:24:26,610 Yeah, and I think for me, actually, this is an interesting point of reflection, 238 00:24:26,610 --> 00:24:38,550 which is that the things that I come back to are the things that I was interested in as a child and as a teenager that really dropped off when, 239 00:24:38,550 --> 00:24:40,680 you know, if you're. 240 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:47,850 If you're a you know, a dancer or an actor or a performer, you know, I did all of those things, you kind of end up dedicating all of your time to it. 241 00:24:47,850 --> 00:24:51,090 And and then I became an academic and I dedicated all of my time to that. 242 00:24:51,090 --> 00:24:54,850 And so I went back to those things that I really loved as a child. 243 00:24:54,850 --> 00:24:58,870 And one of those was building Lego. One of those was crafting. It wasn't sewinf 244 00:24:58,870 --> 00:25:03,850 It was actually doing cross stitch. I was like an 80 year old lady, an eight year old body. 245 00:25:03,850 --> 00:25:07,290 But reading. And, you know, all of those things. 246 00:25:07,290 --> 00:25:13,890 They were actually things that I really loved when I was younger. And I've I've rediscovered them as an adult. 247 00:25:13,890 --> 00:25:20,160 Which brings me an awful lot of joy. It helps me maintain a work life balance. 248 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:30,870 And it maintains my status as to quote my my nephew, the coolest aunt in the world, because everybody, 249 00:25:30,870 --> 00:25:37,740 every 11 year old boy wants an aunt with an extensive Harry Potter Lego collection. 250 00:25:37,740 --> 00:25:44,880 I think the activiriwa that you you might enjoy now and activities you enjoyed when you were younger might take on different forms. 251 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:50,190 It's worth noting, you know, that if you enjoyed playing with Lego as a child, 252 00:25:50,190 --> 00:25:54,540 you might not enjoy playing with Lego as an adult although you probably would. 253 00:25:54,540 --> 00:26:00,540 It might be that that sort of construction idea and that the idea of building things and following instructions. 254 00:26:00,540 --> 00:26:05,790 Yeah. Might be the thing to look for rather than necessarily sticking rigidly to Lego. 255 00:26:05,790 --> 00:26:10,980 But yes, I think it's exploring and thinking about those interests that you've had only said the things that 256 00:26:10,980 --> 00:26:16,200 you value and the things that you've always enjoyed and trying to kind of follow follow that path. 257 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:22,220 Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yes, absolutely. Thanks so much to Edward for joining me for this week's episode. 258 00:26:22,220 --> 00:26:29,850 And yeah, go out and find those things that interest you and excite you. 259 00:26:29,850 --> 00:26:31,290 And please, please, please. 260 00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:40,600 If you get the opportunity, do try and build Lego as an adult, you will be really surprised at how much you still enjoy it. 261 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:45,720 And that's it for this episode. Don't forget to like, rate and subscribe and join me. 262 00:26:45,720 --> 00:27:12,332 Next time. We'll be talking to somebody else about researchers development and everything in between.

What is there to discuss other than the all important matter of our change.org petition to get LEGO sets made of the cast and sets from You've Got Mail? It has been more than two decades. I've spent hundreds of dollars on Harry Potter LEGO sets. Where is my Shop Around the Corner?!

Get ready, because ReWatchable is back! We’re tackling the cancelled-too-soon series Pitch! Here is your cast of superfans and newbies for Pitch: Superfans: Danielle, Ariana Newbies: Brittany, Kendra, Natalie Let’s get started: – What’s ReWatchable? – The rules: 1. One TV episode per podcast episode 2. Two newbies and two superfans (hopefully!) 3. NO SPOILERS! 4. Please give us feedback and share the love! Meet the hosts: – Danielle is our lead host and superfan who started on Veronica Mars and has been on most rounds with a few gaps. She has taken to home life well and has a few plants that she has named. She has visited Ariana and they discovered their fates are written in the stars… literally. She is working from home now (like most of the world) and wants a cat! One thing making her happy is the career trajectory of Hayley Williams from Paramore has some great solo music that she is vibing with! – Natalie is experiencing her second show as a newbie, previously she was a newbie on Sense8. She was a host on Avatar and Agent Carter. For older listeners, Natalie is FINALLY in her house that she has been renovating! Since the last time she was on she has been to Israel and had a family dinner 15 years in the making to celebrate her grandmother’s 90th birthday. One thing currently making her happy is finding a way back to reading physical books in these trying times. – Kendra is our newest addition joining us from Agent Carter forward. Since we last heard from her, she has learned to ski, but has also discovered that she likes ski-life, but not the sport exactly. However, not to brag, but she made it down one full run without falling so look out for her in 2022. But perhaps she will try out dentistry instead if her career as a professional Harry Potter Lego player for Nintendo Switch doesn’t pan out. Her dogs are really happy that the humans are in isolation! – Ariana is FINALLY a superfan! You may recognize her from… every show (except Firefly). Since we recorded last, Brittany and Ariana met in real life, she also hung out with Danielle and they watched a lot of Baby Daddy. While Danielle was in town, they went on an Agent Carter-themed tour of Los Angeles. Ariana has a rescue cat and recommends that you consider fostering an animal! – Brittany is still a newbie (4lyfe) and returns after last appearing on Agent Carter. She previously hosted two shows no one wants to talk about, but jokes on you because Pushing Daisies taught us how to live during this pandemic — don’t touch anyone or anything. Since her last appearance she has forgotten how to do shownotes, but also got to meet Ariana and attend the Angel reunion at NYCC! One thing making her happy is all of the Broadway stars performing on social platforms during quarantine! What do we know? – It’s about sports! – It was impossible to access in Australia when it aired – But sometimes if you don’t tune in right away things disappear! – Ariana went to the Paley Fest panel for Pitch and really connected to the series at a time when she needed to be connected to the something with passion (Fall 2016) – What are the stakes that come with being the person who everyone is hanging their hopes on? – A lot can change in 4 years, but hopefully it will hold up! WHO KNOWS MAYBE WE WILL ALSO WATCH A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN! Listener Feedback: – Look, we know we’ve been gone for a while, but we are back and that’s all that matters! Contact us!

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 51, recorded Sunday July 2nd 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:1:35 Charleston Thomas - I remember 3 months ago when Chris Evans was interviewed by Ellen, he said that he'd start shooting his part of Infinity War in May. But Infinity War has been shooting since January or February. So my question is, do you think Chris Evans has a small role in Infinity War? 5:20 Matej Viher - With many movies now taking inspirations from the same parts of history (WW2) or legends (Arthurian legend), do you believe that at some point Hollywood will explore other lesser known events. Personally I'd love to see the siege of Szigetvar put to the big screen. 9:50 Joseph Powell - Hey John been watching your show from the amc days and this is my first question, do you think Jared Leto's performance as the joker was so poorly received because of his inability to portray the character or was it David Ayers inability to get the best out of him as a director? Thanks for your time and keep up the great work. 13:05 Christopher O'Neal - With the great success WB is getting with the Lego movies and the fact that WB owns the rights to Harry Potter, what do you think the chances of getting a Harry Potter Lego movie? Thanks for taking my question and keep up the great work! 16:04 Scott Ring - Do you think Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm will directly address the Han Solo Film Director Controversy at D23 and if so what do you think the best move would be? 20:25 James Raynard - I was wondering if you would see a possibility of there being another movie about Jim Morrison/The Doors being made? 21:28 Michael Alfredson - With the Last Jedi coming out in December, many of us fanboys are of course waiting to see a big moment from Luke. Would you prefer a single but lengthy moment where we get to see how powerful he has become or would you prefer to see him use his skills throughout the film on more than one occasion?

Berglöf har semester så Hedlund, Bengtsson och Kjellin lägger sig i hängmattan och pratar spel. Mysigt.
