You have goals in business, fitness, and life, but distractions keep getting in the way.

The easy, "cheap" pleasures - like scrolling through LinkedIn, checking your email for the 178th time in an hour, or binge-watching Orange is the New Black - feel great in the moment but often leave us feeling unproductive and guilty. More importantly, they keep us from completing the tasks that actually matter.

This post explores one of the key insights from the book Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence by Anna Lembke, an American psychiatrist, author, and professor specializing in addiction medicine.

Waking up early is a goal many people strive for, yet few manage to make it a lasting habit.

If you've ever found yourself hitting snooze repeatedly, despite your best intentions, you're not alone.

In a recent coaching session, my client shared that she had been trying to wake up earlier for years—sometimes succeeding for a short time, but never for long.

Have you ever felt like chasing happiness isn’t working? We’re often told to strive to feel great all the time, but what if there’s more to a fulfilling life than happiness?Well-being is a combination of feeling good as well as actually having meaning, good relationships, and accomplishment.

In this podcast episode, I’m sharing key insights from the book Flourish: A New Understanding of Happiness and Wellbeing: The Practical Guide to using Positive Psychology to Make You Happier and Healthier by Martin Seligman.

Welcome back to Screw Being Unhappy! We’re kicking off Season 2 with a powerful lesson on consistency, patience, and why real change takes time.

This episode was inspired by a single leaf from my African violet. 🌿 For months, it looked like nothing was happening. But underground, growth was happening. A year later, it’s a thriving plant. And that’s exactly how habits work.

Too often, we expect instant results. When we don’t see progress fast enough, we quit. But real, lasting success comes from sticking with small actions—even when it feels like nothing is changing.

In this episode, I’ll share:
✔️ How to stay consistent even when results aren’t visible yet
✔️ Why most people give up on habits too soon
✔️ The key mindset shift to make habits stick for good

Your habits are like seeds. Keep watering them, and they will grow. 🌱

How online tools can help to improve productivity and habits? How do we get started without being overwhelmed? What is great about Notion? In this conversation, I’m joined by Kryštof Ekl, productivity coach and Notion Consultant and we explore in which way tools can be helpful and how to use them most efficiently.

Kryštof kicks off the conversation with a systemic view on our productivity looking at the framework, duties and tools. He highlights the role of the tools: helping us to make the steps we need to take to achieve our goals obvious and the tasks we need to do easy. 

We continue the conversation with a discussion about how to take the first steps when exploring a new tool and delve deeper into the role of experimenting on our own, using online tutorials or existing templates. The key to use our time efficiently with the tools is to be clear on what we want to achieve and we chat about the difference between learning how to use the tools on our own or using experts and mentors.

Kryštof shares concrete examples and tips when online tools and Notion can help with building new habits (as well being clear about when no online tool will help you!) and we dig deeper into necessary components for behaviour change and the importance of the behaviour prompts. 

If you’re ready to improve your productivity and make your life easier, get ready for some real-life tips when it comes to using online tools and specific examples how tools can support you. Ready? Pop in those headphones and let’s dive in!
