Plus: Miles Franklin winner Tara June Winch speaks to Claire Nichols
| How do you start your day? | I’ve never had a bulletproof coffee and I don’t start each day with Tibetan rites, so my mornings look very different from Lisa Leong’s. But it’s true that the first hour of the day often sets the tone for the rest of it. On This Working Life this week, Lisa’s been talking about routines and rituals. Whether it’s making time for an hour of yoga, journaling and meditation every day, or just taking stock of your own bad habits, checking in on your routines can be valuable, especially in stressful times. This week we also have an interview with Wiradjuri author Tara June Winch, who tells Claire Nichols that as she was writing The Yield, she never thought it would be an award winner. And a desperate man borrows money from a bikie gang with terrifying consequences in The Delivery, the latest instalment in our Untrue Crime series from Radio National Fictions. If that hasn’t sated your appetite for fiction, make sure you head over to our Facebook group, the ABC Book Club. Every day I learn about new books and find fresh perspectives on old ones. Until next time, Rosie Ryan, digital editor Enjoy getting Radio National in your inbox? Forward to a friend so they can too! | |
