Hi everyone and welcome back to the Squiggly Career Podcast.

I'm Helen and one of the co-founders of Amazing If, and I'm here with my other co-founder, Sarah.

Hi everyone.

And this week's topic we're going to be tackling in the Squiggly Careers podcast is all around how many hours a week should you work.

But before we dive into that, I thought we should tell you if it's your first time here,

welcome a little bit about why we do the Squiggly Careers podcast and how it can help you.

Maybe just a bit of a reflection on our squiggly weeks.

So maybe I'll start with why we're here and we'll kick off with your Squiggly Weeks area.

So the why we're here here we started this podcast i think

this might be episode 46 so we are rapidly approaching 50 i don't really know what that means but

the soon it sounds like a nice round number yeah the sooner be 50 episodes um we started this podcast

because we wanted to reach as many people as possible to help them develop the skills to succeed in a

squiggly career and a squiggly career is one that we know many many people are facing and it's where

there's a lot more change, there's a lot more uncertainty. Equally, there's loads of opportunity for

your career but we know that some people can find that a bit scary and that certain skills and

tools and techniques can really help you to take control

of it and feel confident in it and our podcast is one way in which that we help people. So that's

why we're here and that's what we do each week. Before we dive into the how many hours of work you,

gosh, I need to stop saying how many hours a week you work. Sarah, what has your week look like so far?

Well, it's potentially quite an ironic topic that we're talking about so far.

So I have worked a lot of hours this week,

and we'll come on to discuss whether that's a good thing, a bad thing, how relevant that is.
