Summary

Liz and Sarah talk about getting a “heads up” before a notes call, and why having notes in advance is so helpful to the development process. In Take A Hike, they share why they’ve decided to start every workday with a ten minute meditation. Next, Liz and Sarah share two productivity tips in The Craft (& Fain). One: Label the days of the week on the calendar. Two: Set the meeting (even if you’re not ready). This week’s Hollywood Hack is a free feature on your iPhone: background noise. Finally, Sarah recommends the NPR podcast Code Switch.
