This is by far my longest podcast lol

Consider this my nerdy confession of my love for reading.

Recently, a book I stumbled into got me thinking about the toxic view on productivity that I used to hold (and that I still fall back on from time to time).

Luckily, a wonderful chat over pasta inspired me to fight it by slowing it down.

Here's my action plan;)

Are we manipulating tech or is it the other way round?

My recent reading has got me thinking about where to draw the line when it comes to humans and their devices, and technologies. Hear me out;)

If you love listening to podcast but don't know what the great options are out there,

this would be the perfect episode for you;)

So my next episode might even be a book review Xxx.

Take care Xxxx

你有没有发现，自己越来越能说到做到？

最近，我就有这样的感受。从办一场不翻车的聚会，到为外婆安排新疆之旅，再到鼓起勇气和陌生人练西班牙语——小事背后，藏着一个心理学概念：自我效能。它不是天赋，而是可以练出来的信心和能力。我将分享3个亲测有效的，能提高自我效能感的小步骤。

02:03 外婆的新疆之旅&在麦当劳开启西语对话

04:09 self-efficacy: 什么是自我效能？

We've all been through messy moments in life.

An angry partner, a trip that has gone wrong, being swamped by work...

So I want to share three useful mentalities to help us cope with moments like these. 

This episode is inspired by some wonderful ladies out there.

Whatever you're going through, you've got this.

生活中，总有一团乱麻的时刻。

生气的伴侣、完全不按计划来的旅行、工作铺天盖地......

今天呢，我想分享3个有用的心态，帮我们应对各种兵荒马乱。

本期播客的灵感来自3位优秀女性，在此表示感谢️

Whatever you're going through, you've got this.

虽然都发生在好多年前，但因离谱至极，至今仍旧记忆犹新

分别发生在意大利、德国和韩国

事实证明，人还是要走点弯路的hhhhh

本月起计划隔周二更新�

In this episode, I reflect on procrastination — not as a personal failing, but as a signal that something else might be going on beneath the surface. From feeling overwhelmed, to wanting to do things properly, to sheer exhaustion and everyday distractions, I talk through some of the reasons we put things off, what’s helped me deal with it, and whether procrastination is always as bad as we’re told it is.

提到拖延，很多人第一反应都会觉得它是件坏事。
这期节目，我想来反思拖延这件看似很小的事情——它真的只是因为我们太懒，或者不够自律吗？

有时候，是任务本身就让人压力山大；
或者，是我们太想把事情做到完美；
甚至，身体早就已经累到不行，真的干不动；
再加上日常生活中导致我们注意力分散的一切，都会把我们一步步推向拖延。

这期呢，我会分享一些自己对拖延的看法，也聊聊平时的应对方式。
最后，还有一个灵魂发问：

拖延，真的百害而无一利吗？

It's been a long time.

I hope this episode is finding you well;)
