MakeWorkWork: Recent Episodes
MakeWorkWork
A podcast by two friends from across the Atlantic who immediately bonded over 'the work around the work' and kept the conversation going on growing their careers, doing creative work, and striving to be better. Hosted by Habbi and Hailley. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/makeworkwork/support
Habbi and Hailley talk about how they set up their intention for a whole year and then how they keep it present in their daily lives. Routines play a big part, and spoiler alert – it involves their Notion Daily Journals.

The theme of this episode is 'Shark Summer' or 'Work Christmas,' i.e. that time when it's the busiest time of year. Habbi and Hailley ask if work can be under control when the workload is completely out of control?

00:00:45 Habbi's Shark Week – Iceland Airwaves

- Iceland Airwaves Conference
- The TikTok that changed Habbi's life
00:22:32 Hailley's Shark Summer

01:13:05 MakeWorkWork – Personality Frameworks
A central theme on MakeWorkWork has been using personality frameworks to become better collaborators, and we particularly like the Enneagram, Strengths Finder, and the Four Tendencies. We now have a blogpost on each one outlining why they've each become so meaningful to us.
- How The Four Tendencies Helps Us Achieve Our Aims
- The Enneagram: A Shortcut to Clearer Language and Better Collaboration
- How Language From StrengthsFinder Removes Doubts in my Day-to-Day Work
