100. Unitasking vs Multitasking

Susan Nethercote Studio Insider Art Podcast

I can’t believe we’ve created 100 episodes of this little podcast. It’s been such a joy to connect with you in this way over the past couple of years and I’m so grateful to each and every one of you for tuning and sharing the journey with me.

I love the connection with you and with creatives all over the world that I’m able to nurture thanks to the podcast. It’s been the perfect way for this little introvert to deepen my connection with other artists and such a pleasure to be able to share it with you.

To celebrate 100 episodes and to say thank you to you for supporting the podcast, I’m having a flash sale on my e-courses from the 5-8th April 2022. So if you’d like 20% off any of my e-courses or bundles, just use the coupon code 100, that’s the number 100 at the checkout.

In today’s episode, Steph and I are chatting about unitasking vs. multitasking in our art practices and businesses.

We dive deep into what I have specifically discovered during my ‘painting as a practice’ months- that unitasking for extended periods of time is generally when I make my best work. I’ve also discovered similar benefits of having extended periods of focus on other tasks such as making e-courses.

We chat through different practical ways that I’ve been implementing to create a loose structure in the greater picture of my work life that best supports unitasking for extending periods. I do this so I can ride my hyperfocus to its greatest benefit.

In the end, we discover that when we truly accept who we are and how we are wired, therein lays the recipe for how to best approach our work style and rhythm.

This is also the final episode for season 8 of the podcast as we’re about to move into school holidays here. I’ll be back with some fab new interviews and chats with Steph on 3rd of May.

Episode Highlights:

• How to work more productively through unitasking

• The challenges I had last February and how I discovered unitasking
