Listen "Yak Shaving"
Episode Synopsis
Yak Shaving is a term used to describe the conclusion of the often frustrating trail of seemingly never-ending tasks that becomes apparent when trying to complete one simple task - that you thought was going to be quick and easy. In the podcast, we apply it to software coding, project management, family holidays, winning The Apprentice and more... Jono also references another sketch that covers Hofstadter's Law. Let us know when you've ended up Yak Shaving by leaving comments for this sketch on Instagram or Twitter. You can find all three of us on Social Media here: Jono Hey, Tom Pellereau, Rob Bell.
