FIELD NOTES is a weekly experiment in self-improvement, psychology and modern life, tested badly in public.
Hosted by Rose Honey Morgan, a writer with an anthropology background, the show is for people who consume a lot of advice and still feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, and unsure what to actually do with it.
Each week, one idea is filtered and tested in real life, outside of perfect conditions, then reported on honestly in short Field Reports.
The aim isn’t optimisation. It’s clarity. Fewer tabs open. Less guilt. A better sense of what’s worth trying, and what can be safely ignored.
New episodes every Monday, with short Friday Field Reports.

Why Vision Boards Fail (And How to Fix Them)
Most of us don’t have a motivation problem.
We have a too-much-advice problem.
If you’ve ever saved hundreds of self-improvement posts, understood all of them, and still felt overwhelmed, guilty, and no closer to actually changing anything — this episode is for you.
In the first ever episode of Field Notes, I explain the premise of the podcast and put our first experiment to the test: vision boards. Not the fantasy, yacht-and-linen version — but the kind that might actually work in real life.
I talk through:
I also bring along my 2024 and 2025 vision boards as the first (and most humiliating) guests on the show, including the one goal that accidentally did work thanks to a Sarah Connor lock-screen.
This podcast isn’t about becoming a new person overnight.
It’s about filtering advice, testing one small idea at a time, and figuring out what’s actually worth doing, outside of perfect conditions.
On Friday, I’ll be back with a short Field Report on what happened when I made a process-based vision board and whether it helped or just gave me another thing to judge myself by.
