MWW 48: A Devotion to the Life I Want
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 â it involves their Notion Daily Journals.

MWW 47: Shark Summer
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 â Iceland Airwaves
It's Habbi's busiest week of the year, Iceland Airwaves! This leads the two hosts to explore workload, inbox zero, and how to stay on top of things when work gets relentless.
00:22:32 Hailley's Shark Summer
Hailley talks about hiring; how to deal with a high-profile project that takes over not just your calendar, but also your inboxes with the avalanche of inbound messages it generates.

01:13:05 MakeWorkWork â 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.
