Rima Grace

Yeah, let's talk about the carrot approach.

What does that look like?

Honestly, that's the only thing and not the only thing, but that's one of the things that works best for me.

I mean, that's what happened, honestly, earlier this week where I kept putting it off.

And then our producer, Alice, was like, Rima, let's just get on like a call and just do this together.

And yeah, once that once she like set that in motion, it was much easier for me to do by myself when she eventually got off the call.

So yeah.

If someone's still listening to this and is like, oh man, I should do this too.

I should consolidate my 401ks or I should do this financial thing, but I'll get to it tomorrow.

What would you tell them?

I would tell them you won't get to it tomorrow, most likely.

Like Katie said, these kind of chores are much easier to do together.

And I'd love to connect with you all and hear what challenges you're trying to tackle.

Let me know over on Instagram and on TikTok at thisisuncomfortablepod.

Okay, so let's go back to that phone call with the retirement administrator who put me on hold, the one with 90 callers ahead of me.

I did eventually get through to a human, and I am happy to report that I got some answers.

Once I got off the phone with them, I called up our producer, Alice, to share the news.

Okay, so I have some answers.

Okay.

So this is for my WUNC North Carolina public radio account.
