Summary

As work on Fantasy Island continues to become more and more intense, Liz and Sarah discuss their gratitude for the gift of other people’s productivity. Without it, they’d never sleep! In their new segment, A Day In The Life, they take listeners through a typical day while running a show. It starts with Sarah waking up at 5:00 AM to finish writing an introduction to a network Show & Tell, and it ends with a story session on Sarah’s patio after Violet falls asleep. In The Craft (& Fain), Liz and Sarah explain how “an idea is wrong until it’s right.” Finally, this week’s Hollywood Hack is a must in Puerto Rico: sun hats! Happier in Hollywood is part of ‘The Onward Project,’ a family of podcasts brought together by Gretchen Rubin—all about how to make your life better. Check out the other Onward Project podcasts—Happier with Gretchen Rubin, Side Hustle School, Do The Thing, and Everything Happens with Kate Bowler .

Okay, we have been on my patio for 10 seconds and I already have a bug bite.

I think we need a higher percentage of deep bug spray. I need all the deep.

Hi and welcome to Happier and Holly with the podcast about how to be happier, healthier,

sane or more creative, more successful and more productive in a backbiting superficial, chaotic,

0:29.0

unpredictable, fundamentally insane world. I'm Liz Craft, a TV writer and producer who's usually

0:36.0

living in LA but right now is living in Puerto Rico and with me is my high school friend and writing

0:41.0

partner Sarah. That's me, Sarah Faye and on this podcast we talk about being

0:45.0

writers in Hollywood, how we balance a career and friendship and how to survive the war of

nutrition that is life in Los Angeles. In today's episode we're going to talk about the

0:55.0

gift of other people's productivity. Right now it's the greatest gift we can get.

1:41.0

We find it, it's like, we'll be collaborating and things will be going smoothly and then suddenly

one of us will not be there anymore and we'll have to either refresh or maybe there's also

an internet issue I will say is when we're kind of getting kicked off and back on, but we're

constantly having to reconnect so that we can collaborate. One of us is always like, I will
