Sarah Ellis: Hello, I am Sarah and that is the Squiggly Careers podcast. In the present day is considered one of our Ask the Skilled episodes and you are going to hear me in dialog with Robert Poynton, who’s the creator of a ebook referred to as Do Pause.
Collectively, we will be speaking about how punctuating your days with very quick pauses, and considering actually virtually about what it means to create some area, can really improve our efficiency and enhance our influence and our sustainability. In our Squiggly Careers, the place we all know we will be working for longer and we need to maintain going and continue to grow, I believe pausing is a extremely vital a part of that. It is really one thing I actually care about, and care about having the ability to do it in a manner that works for everybody, whether or not you are somebody who has to commute lots, whether or not you are somebody who’s working at dwelling, how will we guarantee that we create a manner of working which means it really works for you and works on your work as properly? So, Robert is good, he is actually insightful, filled with helpful concepts.
He is undoubtedly practised what he is preached, in addition to sharing his phrases of knowledge with us as properly. So, I hope you benefit from the dialog and I hope it prompts you to consider perhaps how pausing may work in your day. And perhaps it is one thing you even need to take into consideration as we head into 2025 and we begin to set some studying targets for subsequent 12 months. So, I will be again on the finish to say bye, however for now I hope you benefit from the dialog. Rob, welcome to the Squiggly Careers podcast. I am actually trying ahead to our dialog collectively right this moment.
Robert Poynton: Me too, Sarah. Thanks very a lot for having me.
Sarah Ellis: So we’re speaking about pausing right this moment, and I wished to start out with what will get in the way in which. Out of your work with individuals and from sharing your ebook with individuals all internationally, we have been speaking about how really it has been translated into completely different nations, into completely different cultures, what stops us from pausing mostly, do you observe?
Robert Poynton: Nicely the straightforward reply to that’s the form of on a regular basis insistence of each day life, and a budget reply, in case you like, is expertise. However really, I believe these are signs. I believe the deeper trigger that stops us can be a form of perception system, a perception that extra is all the time extra; a perception that to get on, you must go additional quicker; a perception that stopping is by some means harmful or precarious. So, I believe it is that form of nest of beliefs that are strengthened and which do emerge from a form of fashionable technological society that basically make it troublesome for us to pause. And what’s attention-grabbing about that’s, it’s a perception system so it is one thing you’ll be able to change or shift or query, a mindset in case you desire. In the event you simply form of take the previous saying, “Extra haste, much less pace”, that may remind you that that is an previous thought, that individuals have all the time identified the worth of stopping.
Sarah Ellis: One of many issues that basically struck me as I used to be studying your work is you described the pause as a ‘plastic idea’, this concept of it is fairly elastic and pauses can feel and appear very completely different. I generally assume after we are imagining pausing, we expect it must be a extremely radical rethink or redo of how we’re working, whereas I felt such as you have been encouraging us to discover pausing in a number of other ways. Maybe you possibly can carry that to life for us slightly bit, so whenever you have been serious about this plastic facet of pausing, what would possibly that imply?
Robert Poynton: There are various other ways you’ll be able to pause, many various durations of pause. So, a pause could be time to take a breath earlier than you enter a room or decide up a cellphone. And that may act as a reset, act as a form of clearing, even a brief area of time. It could possibly be the other excessive, it could possibly be a 12 months off, like Stefan Sagmeister, the designer, who closes his enterprise down for an entire 12 months, not simply to take a break or have a relaxation however to hunt new sources of inspiration, which for someone extremely inventive is essential.
So in his case, he’ll journey, he’ll go completely different locations, he’ll make himself topic to different type of stimuli; and the whole lot in between. So, the whole lot between a second on a threshold and an entire 12 months’s sabbatical. And so, that affords us the prospect to consider how do any of us individually, for what we want, need to punctuate our time? Can we need to cease for only a breath? Can we need to have a screen-free Saturday? Can we need to not do emails after 8.00 at night time?
There’s any variety of variations which you could discover. I believe additionally to consider this not as a components, it is not even that you’ve a person components, it’s totally a lot proper right here, proper now, in the course of no matter you are in, what could be a helpful option to simply break it up in form of attention-grabbing ways in which over time? So, you would possibly, I do not know, screen-free Saturday could be a follow you undertake, and that may then put on skinny or put on out, it won’t give you the results you want anymore, you would possibly want one thing else. So actually, it is an invite to continually form of reassess your relationship with time and to assume that point isn’t a treadmill, we’re not machines, it is not about extra, extra, extra and never each unit of time is price the identical. So, slightly pause, you would possibly assume, “What is the level of doing two minutes?” Nicely, you would be shocked. So, do not underestimate how quick a time, within the type of a pause, will be extremely helpful and highly effective.
Sarah Ellis: And one of many issues that caught out to me is that generally I believe we’re reluctant to pause as a result of we expect it may make us much less productive. We virtually do not give ourselves permission to pause as a result of we’re like, “Nicely, I have to maintain going”. And you utilize this beautiful phrase the place you mentioned, “Pausing would not gradual us down, it will probably really make issues stream quicker”, and I actually preferred this concept of flowing quicker, as a result of I believe you gave an instance in a ebook the place you talked about in case you pause a machine, it does fully cease; whereas really, if we pause, we’re not stopping, we’re really simply switching our consideration and our focus to one thing completely different, a pause for thought, a pause to ask a special form of query, a pause to only stroll for 3 minutes to stroll and assume.
So, when individuals are serious about, “Why ought to I care? What is the payoff for pausing?” have you ever observed that when individuals begin to do that, they really see the form of influence when it comes to how they really feel at work, but additionally the outcomes of the standard of their work maybe?
Robert Poynton: Yeah, I imply I believe that is completely, crushingly apparent in case you have a look at the world round you. The absence of pause is sort of actually killing individuals. It is what results in burnout, the concept that we must always push on, do extra, by no means let up, be all the time on. That’s each inhuman and not possible and it’ll degrade the standard of what you are doing.
While you’re drained, you do not assume as clearly in case you’re doing a considering job. In the event you’re doing a bodily job of labor, whenever you’re drained you get clumsy, you make errors. So, I believe it is evident that within the absence, and the emotional- and physical- and stress-related value of that by no means pausing is large. The opposite factor that is actually vital right here is there is a motive why in medication in subject hospitals within the nineteenth century, they invented triage. So triage, for people who aren’t conversant in that time period, is a French phrase, and it implies that triage is what you do when injured troopers are coming right into a subject hospital and also you spend a while not treating them. You spend a while along with your restricted assets checking who wants remedy most urgently. And when you try this, individuals will endure, perhaps even within the case of the sector hospital, die. However general, as soon as you have taken an evaluation of who to deal with first, it is far more efficient. Within the language you are utilizing, far more productive.
So, in case you’re busy, busy doing, doing, doing, how have you learnt that what you are doing, in case you by no means cease to query it, is price doing, or is the very best factor to do, or that the circumstances have not modified? In the event you by no means search for, you could be going the improper manner. So, the price of not pausing is legion, and as we have been saying earlier than, the advantage of pausing is, it does not imply stopping altogether, it simply means creating slightly parenthesis, slightly interregnum, a second of reflection or area the place different stimuli, different questions, different instructions, different concepts can happen to you. Or, you’ll be able to join with different individuals who would possibly provide these concepts or questions.
Sarah Ellis: Yeah, as a result of one of many phrases that you just speak about within the ebook is that this type of, all of us say we’re busy, we count on individuals to reply to the way you’re doing with busy, and also you type of provoke us to think about whether or not really that is doubtlessly a bit lazy. And truly, I do agree, as a result of I believe if we’re simply all the time busy doing the identical issues in the identical manner, you are very a lot sticking with the established order, and that’s hardly ever what we want.
Robert Poynton: In the event you take the analogy of media, not all media, you already know, social media however broadcast media as properly, you’ll be able to by no means eat all of it, you’ll be able to by no means learn the whole lot, you’ll be able to by no means do something. And the identical is true with all of the duties we may do for ourselves or we may consider. It is a lot, a lot faster to jot down a listing or purchase a ebook than it’s to really do the factor on the checklist or to learn the ebook. And so, we’re deluged, we would be overwhelmed if we actually tried to do the whole lot. So, in case you do not pause to think about what your priorities are, you are still setting priorities as a result of you’ll be able to’t do the whole lot, you are simply not doing it very thoughtfully.
You are being deluged by these things and doing what’s most at hand. The phrase I am utilizing is, “Busy is the brand new lazy”. And what I imply by that’s not that you just’re not making effort however, “Busy is the brand new lazy”, means it is lazy considering. You are not consciously selecting to evaluate what wants doing most, what wants doing first, what perhaps would not want doing otherwise you’re doing for simply behavior or inertia that does not actually need doing any extra, what you possibly can let go of. You already know, you’ll be able to’t do all of it. So, a way or one other, you have bought to choose.
Sarah Ellis: And I believe it was the World Well being Organisation the place you reference this within the ebook, round this concept of pace bumps, which I preferred, as a result of I believe generally bodily objects remind us to behave in a sure manner. One of many inspirations I took from the ebook was, what pace bumps may I add into my day in a ritual-rhythm-type manner, that simply type of compelled me to decelerate. As a result of I suppose I believe, “Oh, a pace bump forces you to decelerate”, you type of don’t have any selection except you need to wreck your automobile.
And so, really I used to be asking a gaggle that the opposite day. I used to be like, “What would a pace bump seem like that may power you to only go, ‘I’m simply going to pause to do one thing completely different, or not less than change my tempo a bit’?” And folks have been speaking about small issues like, “I can not keep in mind the final time I did not eat my lunch at my desk”. So, they have been like, “Possibly simply taking a lunch break”. Or I mentioned, “I am an enormous fan of strolling”. So, I just about go for a stroll each single day. And I try this, to be trustworthy, much less for bodily rewards, extra for psychological rewards.
And so I mentioned to them, “When was the final time any of you went for a stroll throughout your work day?” And it was, “By no means”, nobody had ever achieved it for the reason that pandemic. Within the pandemic, that they had, as a result of I believe it was that forcing perform of, “I’ve bought one probability to”. However for the reason that finish of the pandemic, they hadn’t. And I used to be like, “Oh, that is so attention-grabbing”.
And I believe it is actually because, as you described, we type of overlook that we’ve these decisions accessible to us that you must resolve, you type of should take possession for these pace bumps, or nonetheless you need to take into consideration these pauses, as a result of no person’s going to power you to do that, I do not assume, whether or not you are in a large firm or whether or not you are like each of us, working for yourselves, you must resolve pausing is vital sufficient to make it a precedence. I simply puzzled out of your perspective, having written the ebook and form of dived into it, what does this seem like for you? Had been you already doing this brilliantly and that is why you wrote the ebook? Or, have you ever achieved some new issues because of contemplating all of the completely different sensible methods you may make this occur?
Robert Poynton: I used to be doing a whole lot of it already. I’ve lived most of my life in Spain really, and in order that tradition in rural Spain as properly is far more attuned to that. So, my spouse all the time teases me about how completely unjustified it’s for someone that wasn’t born in Spain to be so fully dedicated to having a siesta after lunch day-after-day, which I’ll do religiously. After I’m working on the Saïd Enterprise College right here in Oxford, I’ll even discover a quiet nook to have only a 5-minute nap in a 40-minute lunch break.
So, it is that vital to me. So, that is all the time there. I’ve bought a 25 12 months previous meditation follow, which is of course an interregnum or a pause of some variety, and I am surrounded by individuals who, for instance, transfer at a special rhythm and provides a special significance to issues. So, in rural Spain whenever you meet with someone, you are going to have a dialog. The dialog isn’t going to be about something new, you are unlikely to study something, you are in all probability going to say the identical belongings you mentioned final week. However there is a type of recognition that that second of social interplay is price one thing in its personal proper, as you cease and see the opposite individual and are seen by them. So, for me, there was a whole lot of that already built-in, which I believe was what sort of alerted me to the worth of it. I believe although that there are there are new issues. I imply, some actually mundane issues, how do you create pace bumps? Nicely, I work from home, and I put the printer in a spot which isn’t handy, it is not proper subsequent to me. I do not print that many paperwork, it is true, however what it means is there’s an interregnum to go to the printer. So, in a manner, I am type of forcing myself to take a tiny miniature stroll.
And in that little area, there is a new form of pause. Thresholds of any variety are very attention-grabbing and helpful, so simply earlier than you begin the automobile, simply earlier than you come dwelling, as you undergo the door in case you’ve been out. What’s attention-grabbing right here is the power of behavior is a part of what you are referring to. Habits are nice as a result of they help you in issues and cut back your cognitive load so you do not have to consider them. However on the similar time, every so often, to query or interrupt these recurring patterns of behaviour and because it have been, to type a brand new behavior of interruption or of the pace bump, can really aid you. So, if each time you seize your automobile keys, you simply take a breath, then that may begin to change into built-in in a optimistic manner. So, you form of need to each interrupt habits, but additionally use habits to your benefit.
Sarah Ellis: You referenced, you may should remind me of his identify, I believe he was a CEO who listened to some jazz on the finish of his day within the workplace, is that proper?.
Robert Poynton: That is proper, that was Tom Hockaday right here in Oxford. So, he ran the college’s expertise switch enterprise for about ten years, Isis Innovation it is referred to as, and he would play the Dave Brubeck observe. He would shut his workplace door, so truthful sufficient, he had an workplace, he was the boss, he may try this. Not everyone has that, however you possibly can do it in headphones. And he’d shut the workplace door and he’d play Take 5 and he would take, because it occurs, the actual model he listened to is 5 minutes and eight seconds lengthy, so it is virtually good. And after I requested him about that, he did not say he did it for any explicit motive. He did it to introduce that area, an area between the workplace and residential, in order that he did not, as he mentioned, carry work dwelling with him, type of carry it unconsciously with him. And generally, an thought about one thing he needed to do the following day would happen to him in that little area, one thing he’d forgotten. Generally he would simply daydream, generally he would take into consideration how he was going dwelling and who he was going dwelling to and the way a lot that mattered to him. So, it wasn’t that it was one other process, it was an empty area which in accordance with the day, in accordance with the second he would fill, however turned a productive behavior. I think about after some time, he bought bored of Dave Brubeck, and possibly modified the observe. However anyway, you already know it, a track is an effective size of time, lengthy sufficient however not too lengthy that you are able to do that.
Sarah Ellis: Yeah, and I believe the rationale it made me think about a few of my pauses is I typically work from home, in all probability not less than 50% of the time, and so me within the night, then seeing my 7-year-old, seems to be like strolling downstairs. I believe whenever you naturally have a commute or a stroll, it generally creates that second of pause and also you do doubtlessly pause, not all the time, you generally rush within the door, however in case you can take a deep breath after which be prepared for the 7-year-old. Whereas I generally assume, the place I’d profit from pausing is definitely in that second the place I then assume, as a result of my work has a whole lot of selection, “I’m achieved working now and I’m now right here for my 7-year-old”.
Once more, one thing would assist me I believe earlier than I walked down these stairs!
Robert Poynton: Yeah, I imply I believe that is proper. Publish-pandemic and with extra individuals working at dwelling, that interregnum, that type of parenthetical area of the journey to work, no matter medium of transport you used, type of evaporated for many individuals. And considered one of my favorite tales about that could be a good friend of mine who’d modified jobs simply earlier than the pandemic, and he all the time used to cycle to work. And so what he did is he went to his biking machine, which was within the backyard, I can not keep in mind what they’re referred to as, however these stationary bikes, after which in his thoughts, do the journey to work. After which at some point, as a result of he’d simply modified jobs, in his thoughts he went the improper manner. And so what he did, which was actually humorous, is he did not form of go, “By no means thoughts, I am going to simply arrive”. He then needed to cycle again in his thoughts to the place he’d gone improper, after which cycle to the brand new workplace, after which he arrived with this jokey story about, “I am sorry I am late, I went the improper option to work”. So, a really foolish thought, however simply the notion of even when it is only a second or a single track observe, or a cup of espresso or cup of tea the place you do not take into consideration something, you do not have a pen in your hand, you do not have your cellphone in your hand, you simply look out the window, how would possibly you create a home transition in order that strolling down the steps, perhaps you stroll down the steps actually slowly, like actually slowly, one step at a time, a form of strolling meditation. However none of that occurs except you give it significance and recognise its worth. That is the vital factor.
Sarah Ellis: And one of many workout routines that I did instantly form of reside as I used to be studying it, my favorite books are all the time books that find yourself with a number of notes in and I am afraid your ebook has been scrawled throughout, so it would not look very pristine any extra, was you describe it because the ‘scanner train’. And so, we at the moment are going to try to speak about an train that I believe is sort of visible, in an audio manner for our listeners to form of carry this to life. And so, the way in which the scanner train works, or definitely the way in which that I interpreted it, having learn it, and you may inform me in case you assume that is proper and the way you’d construct on this, is which you could mirror again on any time frame. So, you would possibly begin with yesterday, you would possibly have a look at final week, however you possibly can additionally zoom out and take into consideration within the final 12 months, and also you’re virtually visually attempting to take a look at the tempo when it comes to the way you spend your time, how a lot area do you might have and the way a lot pace do you might have, and what does that seem like. And I believe you utilize circles for area and features for pace. Really instinctively and intuitively, right away, that made sense to me. I may look again over my yesterday and I knew straightaway what felt like pace and what felt like area. And to your level, area did not imply I used to be staring into area, but it surely did imply I would chosen to make myself a pleasant espresso somewhat than an prompt one, as a result of that was going to take 5 minutes longer. It did imply selecting to perhaps decelerate in a dialog with someone.
Reasonably than, “Oh, I’ve bought a listing of 5 issues we have to speak about”, really asking someone how their vacation was. For me, that represented more room than pace. And I do know just a few individuals have began to have a go and I do not assume everyone discovered it fairly as instinctive as I did, and so I simply puzzled whether or not you possibly can describe it a bit extra for individuals, as a result of everybody was so eager to have a go at this. And I used to be considering, properly for me, it clicked instantly, however I believe some individuals discover it onerous to work out, “How do I categorise pace versus area?” So, yeah, maybe we may speak about it a bit extra, as a result of I find it irresistible as an train.
Robert Poynton: Positive, and credit score the place it is due, the unique thought for this notation got here from Adam Morgan, my good friend Adam Morgan at Eat Massive Fish.
Sarah Ellis: Oh, we love Adam, he is been on the podcast.
Robert Poynton: I’ve repurposed it for a very completely different software, however this concept of this distinction between pace and area got here out of some work we did collectively. So, yeah, I believe the secret is to not give it some thought. I believe that individuals wrestle once they try to interact their rational thoughts and their final analytical thoughts, and the final word downside there may be…
Sarah Ellis: Possibly that is why I all the time discovered it simple! Robert Poynton: Nicely maybe, maybe. It is when individuals assume it is like filling in a calendar or a diary the place you’ll be able to go, “What was I doing at 11?” It is not about that. You would possibly draw a day, let’s take yesterday. It is not like you must resolve of eight characters, which of them are ones and which of them are zeros. You would possibly draw 15 zeros within the morning, or circles, as a result of it felt very spacious and you did not have any calls or commitments and also you have been in a position to go for a stroll, or do no matter you felt like. After which, you would possibly do three quick strokes within the afternoon which symbolize a collection of calls, one in every. So, the factor is to not be too analytical to not assume it by means of. How do you resolve what to place? It’s important to get in contact along with your emotions, it is about the way it felt. And pace and area are the headlines, however 4 stops on the tube simply type of in a drowsy, early-morning state would possibly really feel very spacious and expansive, and a morning of intense exercise would possibly fly by. So, you are attempting to catch your self not considering and also you’re attempting to make use of your hand to attract one thing which you could then have a look at and go, “Oh, yeah, that seems like that”. Then, the choices you might have as soon as you have bought some form of image is to then say, “Do I like how that’s?”
As a result of once more, I believe the factor that journeys individuals up is that they assume there is a proper manner to do that. There actually is not. There’s simply your option to try to get a way and a really feel for a way your time is working for you and whether or not you need to change it. So, the opposite factor, the opposite clue to really filling this in is, do it rapidly. And in case you don’t love what you have achieved, otherwise you get caught otherwise you get locked up, simply screw up the paper, throw it away, begin once more. Do not sit there and agonise over it, simply try to do it in a form of quick, felt, sense manner. After which interact your considering thoughts whenever you have a look at it and go, “Do I like that? Does that really feel good? Is that how I would like it to be?” In the event you get actually caught, strive a special time frame, strive a shorter time or a very long time, as a result of you are able to do it, as you mentioned in the beginning, Sarah, for an entire 12 months; you possibly can do it for an hour. And like most issues, in case you simply strive it a bit and practise a bit, you may discover your manner there. However on the similar time, if it is actually locking you up and also you’re actually combating it, it is in all probability not for you, so don’t be concerned about it, do one thing else.
Sarah Ellis: A few my associates who talked to me about it, they’re in all probability among the smartest those that I do know. And I wonder if they have been attempting to do it proper, as a result of they have been asking me, “What’s the suitable manner to do that? Would that be this or would this be this?” whereas I believe I in all probability simply felt my manner, and identical to you mentioned, did it rapidly and really instinctively as I used to be studying. I used to be like, “Oh, I am going to simply have a look at yesterday and I am going to simply have a look at final week”. So, I believe there’s some good recommendation there. I believe I discovered the zooming in and zooming out attention-grabbing, as a result of generally you could be proud of yesterday, however then really you could be much less proud of the final three months that may then immediate some modifications.
Robert Poynton: And two different issues you possibly can do mechanically to assist that. One could be, do it along with your non-dominant hand, so in case you’re left-handed do it along with your proper hand, in case you’re right-handed do it along with your left hand. It is simply traces and circles; you’ll be able to handle that. And in case you get actually caught, then enquire into the stuck-ness, so the place is it you are getting caught, what are you getting caught about? Don’t be concerned about finishing the train, as a result of who cares, no person’s watching. Possibly it is worth or advantage is it may present you the place to look, “Why am I so caught on this?” and get interested in that and see what that yields.
Sarah Ellis: Nicely I liked it, and getting a number of individuals to strive it out in workshops, and individuals are really actually having fun with experimenting with it. So, two very sensible brains, you and Adam coming collectively. I hadn’t realised additionally the reference to Adam, in order that’s nice, and would not shock me both. Are there another items of recommendation that you just wish to depart our listeners with? So, having spent a number of time diving into pausing and in addition practising it for your self, is there something we have not talked about right this moment the place you assume, “If there’s one different factor that I would actually like to go away the Squiggly Careers listeners with, it will be…?”
Robert Poynton: I do not know if we have touched on this already, perhaps we’ve, but it surely appears to me that, “The unexamined life isn’t price dwelling”, to cite Socrates, that even except you pause in a Squiggly Profession, not simply when it comes to the day-to-day productiveness — I spoke with somebody this morning, for instance, who talked about how when the pandemic hit and she or he bought an opportunity to take a ways from her work, she realised she hated it and she or he hated her boss and she or he needed to make a change. And he or she did and she or he has flourished enormously since.
So, I believe that the concept that pause is not nearly squeezing out extra, that mentality in a manner is what leads it to be troublesome. There’s something concerning the depth and high quality of time that is accessible to us to only take, and it would not should be a lot, however to provide ourselves the credit score of taking slightly little bit of time to think about what actually issues to us, and to open up these areas in order that we are able to pursue different avenues, get a brand new perspective on ourselves, ask ourselves the larger deeper questions. So, I believe a Squiggly Profession is, by definition, going to have turning factors, whereas motion and exercise tends to maintain you getting into the identical line. So, if you wish to make these attention-grabbing arcs, I discover it very troublesome to think about how you’ll try this with out some pause. So, there’s rather a lot at stake right here and there is rather a lot to be gained and there is numerous inventive alternative available, like a little bit of yeast in bread. You do not want a lot, however with out the yeast the bread turns into heavy and lumpen and boring. That is how I consider pauses, they’re the yeast.
Sarah Ellis: Nicely I hope this dialog has been a pause for individuals. I do know that a number of individuals hearken to the podcast they usually do see it as a pause of their day, perhaps as some area. Generally individuals are out strolling with their canine or they’re simply listening whereas they’re having a espresso. So, I really feel like we have maybe gone meta on pausing. We’re pausing on pausing right this moment. We have talked about pausing, hopefully whereas individuals are pausing, and perhaps we have satisfied some individuals as properly to only check out pausing, or perhaps give your self permission to pause in a brand new manner.
Robert Poynton: Improbable.
Sarah Ellis: However thanks a lot, Rob. I liked the ebook, I actually loved the workout routines in it. I believe I used to be already an advocate of the pause, however much more so now. So, thanks a lot for sharing your concepts and your insights so generously with us right this moment.
Robert Poynton: By no means, it has been a pleasure. Thanks.
Sarah Ellis: Hello, everyone, it is Sarah once more. I hope you loved that dialog with Rob, and it is impressed you to consider including some pauses into your day. All the time ship us concepts in case you’ve bought individuals that you just’d love us to speak to on the podcast. It is helenandsarah@squigglycareers.com. However that is the whole lot for this week. We’ll be again with you once more subsequent week. Thanks a lot for listening and we’ll be again with you once more quickly. Bye for now.
