A short 5 min summary for listeners who are on the go.

Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval argue in their book, The Power of Small: Why Little Things Make all the Difference, that bigger is not always better. In fact, these authors challenge all of us that our smallest actions, words, and gestures often lead to our greatest long-term rewards and outcomes.

In this episode 2, we had a conversation about the impact of small measures and how they impacted our lives. How we can adopt the Pareto Principle of 80/20. For example, it is not uncommon to see people who appear to be busy all day long but seem to accomplish very little. This is almost always because they are busy working on tasks that are of low value while they are procrastinating on the one or two activities that could make a real difference to their companies and to their careers.

When it comes to personal relationships, limiting beliefs can affect everything from culture to overall performance and efficiency. Limiting beliefs can lead us to be passive and to ignore or overlook small measures, small steps. A small change to your routine and habit can improve the way you look at things and well-being and staying healthy.

Thank you so much everyone for listening, we would love to hear from you. What is your view on the smallest actions lead to long-term rewards? Have you ever taken such an approach?

In Season 2, we decided to tweak our approach. We understand that time is precious to some of our listeners and we feel you. With that in mind, we are going to create a short 5 mins podcast to give highlights of each episode.

In episode 1, we tapped into what it means to be present, living in the moment and connected it with multitasking and critical thinking! Being present is a way for you to absorb and experience whatever things are around you, for example, paying your full attention to people or surroundings in a new place or with a new work role, while Living in the moment is the ability to make decisions that come with certain risks for a benefit or to achieve something.

Here are a few highlights from our conversation:

1. You can be present with others, as well as with yourself. For example, try meditation or self-reflection, perhaps every morning one wishes to be present holistically with the environment, your mind and your body - to notice one’s feelings, thoughts, needs, to reflect what is lacking or what needs to be pursued.

2. Then we had a look into multitasking - if it is even possible, and what are the consequences and cost of multitasking, i.e., losing focus and concentration, more time required to perform certain tasks, lower efficiency, and productivity.

3. Next, we wanted to solve the mystery if one can practise critical thinking while being present? Is it possible to fully immerse into the present moment and analyse, complete and be critical about a certain task?

4. We deepen the conflict's context even more. Being present during a conflict situation is called sitting in the fire, as it is challenging and uncomfortable. Conflicts are situations in which most people would do everything that they can not to be present in the moment, to escape that moment.

5. We ended up sharing our key takeaways from this conversation. There are many beliefs around what is being in the moment and how it's not possible in many circumstances. And maybe it is possible at any given moment, it doesn’t mean it is always needed or is best for us. So, let’s always pick what serves us the most. At the end of the day, it is on us as individuals to be able to activate what is needed at a certain time, place and within a certain audience.

Thank you so much everyone for listening, we would love to hear from you. What is your view on being present? When do you like being present and when do you think it's a challenge for you?

Do you stretch your mind regularly?

There are many benefits of stretching, like improving flexibility or minimizing risks of injuries. The same applies to our minds - they need regular stretching to stay healthy, flexible and to serve us for many years!

So how can one stretch her/his mind? 🤔

That is one of the reasons that Faizal and I created the F+Z Reality's Podcast! 🎧🧠

And we have some great news!

Season 2 of F+Z reality will be released any day now!

New website, new topics and new amazing visual identity!

But before we dive into the second season, I prepared a short recap of the first season for you!

👉🏽 listen 🎧 or read 👇🏽 and enjoy 💚

In episode 1, we talked about New Year's resolutions. We shared and explored our experiences with setting goals, intentions, directions or challenges for a different new year or executing projects. As we dug into various strategies and tricks to get to your goals.

In episode 2, we decided to have a look at the topic of remote trust. At first, the remote work was supposed to last just for a few weeks. And it is still our new reality. We share experience, observations and knowledge around building trust in remote settings!

In episode 3, we had an insightful conversation on decision making. We shared some reflections and had a lot of fun while answering questions like What makes a bad decision a bad decision? And why is selecting a good yogurt important for your future?

In episode 4, we discussed the essentials of communication. We focused on getting rid of misunderstandings and miscommunications and making the whole process easier and lighter!

In episode 5, we talked about differences between push and pull mindsets! And we both agreed that the pull mindset is the one we would like to have more of in our lives!

In episode 6, we discussed our perspectives of working with people. Since our preferences seemed as total opposites we discussed the ups and lows of being a lone wolf or working in a pack.

In episode 7, we decided to have a look at what success is to us. In this, we drifted towards discussion about our self-relationships and how these impact our success (and a definition of it!).

In episode 8, we concluded the first season with a discussion about habits. Building new habits or nourishing old ones — both need an evaluation from time to time. During our conversation, we created for you a brief instruction on how you can evaluate your habits.

I feel like all these topics are still relevant, so go ahead and re-listen to any of those if a topic caught your attention!

And watch out for the release of season 2 with more stretching for your mind!

30 mins or 5mins? Pressing for time? We got your back. This is a 5min recap of our conversation on Ep2 Impact of Small Measures.

And maybe it is possible at any given moment, it doesn’t mean it is always needed or is best for us. So, let’s always pick what serves us the most.
