Hi, I'm Helen and I'm Sarah and this is the squiggly careers podcast, a weekly show where we

dive into the ups and downs of work and try to give you some ideas for actions and things to help

you navigate all that naughtiness that you might be experiencing in your squiggly career.

And we're also always trying to help ourselves too.

Because even though I think we're about something like 370 episodes now in terms of our podcast, we still need lots of help.

And this podcast is still a weekly way that we help each other with that.

So it's always helpful to us and we hope very much that it's useful for you too.

And if this is the first time you've listened to the podcast, it might be worth knowing that

there are lots of things that we create to support you and you're listening and learning. So as well

as this episode, you can get our pod sheet, which is a one page summary, which you can download.

It has the ideas for action that Sarah and I are going to talk about and some quotes and things

like that that could be useful. We've got pod notes, which are swipable summaries.

You can get those on social.

So make sure you're following us at Amazing If either on Instagram or LinkedIn.

And then there's also Pod Plus, which is a weekly session on a Thursday morning where we talk about the topic in a bit more depth and you get the chance to contribute what you think and ask us some extra questions to. All the information for that

is on the show notes or you can find it on our website at amazingif.com. And so this week we're

talking about how to create clarity. And there is no shortage of people who talk about just how

important clarity is in our jobs because there's so much happening.

And there was a great quote that I came across from James Clear,

who's been on the podcast talking to Helen and I'm sure lots of you are familiar with his book,

Atomic Habits, where he says,

most people think they lack motivation when really they lack clarity.
