NOTE- Recorded last week (the 12th I think?) and the news has moved fast since.

Matt and Mur come to you live from their shiny new quarantine room within the new Ditch Diggers mansion.

• The Ditch Diggers are not theological scholars.
• COVID-19 is discussed, as is America’s response to it, because how could they not be? It’s a pandemic. And Matt and Mur are in America.
• Many people are working at home right now, and thus the topic of the episode emerges.
• How “doing more stuff around the house” can become your whole day when you work from home, and transitioning your daily/weekly commute time into valuable work-from-home time.
• The foundation of your new work-from-home routine is still getting ready like you’re going to go to work.
• You have to find your version of pants.
• Advice for people for whom “stick to a routine” is useless advice, and how writers are the worst people to put in charge of writers.
• Working from home with partners/spouses and also kids.
• Matt talks about staying in the moment when you work from home, triaging tasks, and the almighty reward system.
• Mur talks about her Two-Face-esque random chance method of managing daily tasks.
• At the end of the day, you just have to find the method that works for you, and working from home is a wholly individualistic thing.
• Mur talks about the Pomodoro Method and Matt invents the Pompadour Method.
• Twitter Q&A! Topics include choosing your “people,” those from whom you take advice on your work.
• Read more romance!
• The ceremonial end of episode shilling (buy Mur’s SIX WAKES which is still not about a space deli and please preorder Matt’s book SAVAGE LEGION).
