Let's Ask My Friends

Happy New Year! The last few years have been a doozy for everyone. 2021 has been a difficult year for both of us. Hence, this podcast's absence. But where there is difficulty, there is learning. In this episode, we recap on the lessons we've learned this year. We talk about control, love, hope, communication and new year's resolutions. Here's what we learned this year. Tell us what you learned on Instagram, our website or a direct voice message on Anchor.

Learning is important to us, if that isn't evident with the way we approach this podcast (and our lives), but there are things we've learned about learning itself. In this episode, we discuss our approach to learning, why we do it, what are some of our hacks, how we approach the idea of learning anything overall. We really hope you take something away from this episode. We had a lot of fun with this discussion.

We look forward to your messages on Anchor. Also, find shownotes on letsaskmyfriends.com. If you like what we do, consider supporting us on buymeacoffee.com/lamf!

In this episode, we get a bit personal and talk about adulthood—the good and the bad. We're both 25 now, and if there's one thing we've learned about life, it's that adulthood is a double-edged sword. We dive into what we love and hate about being 25 and how life has changed in comparison to when we were in college or even school. We hope you enjoy this conversation!

Have you ever held onto something without it making much sense? Have you refrained from selling something you don't need because you paid a lot for it when you first got it? Have you stayed with the wrong people who overstayed their welcome? Don't worry. All of us do it. It's called the Sunk Cost Fallacy.

In this episode, we dive into some examples from our lives as well as how you can probably escape the fallacy. If nothing, we talk about how to be more conscious about it. We'd love to hear from you too. Tell us about your experiences with Sunk Cost Fallacy and we'll share them on our social media.

This week, we're talking about tracking habits. Habit tracking seems to be a complex idea with all the articles, videos and obnoxious methods on the internet. It doesn't have to be as complex though. We share what works for each one of us while diving into the need of tracking habits in the first place. We also talk about where to draw the line, apps like Duolingo and Elevate.

We'd love to hear from you as well, how do you track your habits? Send us a voice message on Anchor or reach out to us on letsaskmyfriends.com.

In the first episode for our new phase, we reflect over our time in college and ponder over the question: what would you tell yourself in college? We talk about our experiences with reading, mental health, love, meeting new people, and putting your best foot forward in this packed episode. We hope you like this one!

We know, we said we'll be back soon. We kinda dropped off the face of the Earth, really, and we are sorry for that. It has been a long year for us. The team has changed. The podcast has changed. Yet, we're finally back. Here's a mini episode or trailer to give you a gist of what we plan to do next.

Shorter episodes, more free-form content, and better consistency are all on the table. For the first time, we have no plan or structure, and we couldn't be more excited to see where we go from here!

The first episode drops on November 27th, 2021!

For the last episode of this season, we decided to talk about the most important question: what's up, man?

The idea is simple, we talk about our lives, what changed throughout the year, how the pandemic changed our lives and perspectives. We also talk about our families with a whole lot of banter, our experiences with work and relationships.

This episode is longer than our usual because it's just three friends talking. The banter would check out too, and you'll see it's dialed up in this one. We decided to do one of these at the end of each season so this is a tradition now. It's also a way to say that we're definitely coming back after a short break.

We sincerely hope you liked what we brought you for these thirteen episodes. We also hope we added some value to your life. All in all, we'll be back and with more thoughtful but awesome conversations soon enough. What a wild ride this has been! It all started from a Whatsapp group chat.

Also, we mentioned in the episode that we're revamping our Patreon. As of the release of this episode, the revamp is pending, but it will be live along with the second season.

Priorities are something that most people don't talk about much. We often claim to have priorities that our actions go entirely against. It's typical behaviour.

For example, someone who says that financial freedom is their priority and yet fails to contain their splurging is not in sync with their real priorities. You can think of countless examples from so many lives you're privy to, including your own. Most of us falter at some point when it comes to priorities.

In this episode, we wanted to touch upon our current priorities, how we prioritise, what our understanding of the entire idea is, how we avoid errors, how we fail at it and so on. We hope you enjoy our little discussion!

Boundaries are important. They're important not just for individuals but for all social relationships in an individual's life. When boundaries are enforced correctly, be it in personal, professional or social situations, they help us live our lives as per our comfort and understanding.

There's also a downside when the boundaries get too stringent. We explore all of that and more in this episode. We talk about our experiences with both enforcing and breaking boundaries, why we find boundary-setting difficult, how we actually define boundaries and so on.

We hope you'll like this episode!
