We explore how to be a curious conversationalist and engage in an expanded discussion of using a daily worksheet to help in focusing on what’s important at work.

Ted and Adam each traveled, on their own, to New York. They talk filmgoing in the city, note-taking in the city, clock-watching in the city, etc. Program note: I couldn’t get the Uniball One Gel P pen refill to work and said as much. Soon after recording, I got it to work. It’s awesome.
