🌴300. Spacing

When I released my Work Fame Substack on Friday, my phone rang—literally a minute after it went out. It was my friend Nicole, calling from a walk on the Gold Coast. She said, “Leanne, how do you create so much content and still seem to have a life?”It’s a good question.In this episode, I share my answer: how having a daily podcast has trained me to be an observer of life. When you publish something every day, you start paying closer attention—to the small things most people overlook. Like the way a Bon Jovi key change hits differently when you’re 15km into a run. Or how watching Kevin Rudd get roasted by Donald Trump in the Oval Office can somehow reset your stress levels.I talk about:Why noticing is my number-one creative skill.The difference between creating on the spot (podcasts) vs creating with space (writing).Why spacing out your writing during the week makes it better.How ideas “simmer” when you let them breathe.The little systems (and non-systems) I use to find great references, quotes, and stories.The big takeaway? Creativity isn’t about working harder—it’s about noticing better.👋 Thanks, Nicole, for sparking this chat.— 💌 P.S.
