Life is unexpected, and so are the effects it can have on our journeys, wherever they might lead. That’s at least what happened to me this summer. In this episode, I’m going to share with you what lead to refinding the reason behind my projects and how to create a routine you’ll genuinely want to stick to without any willpower. ------------- Music from FASSounds at Pixabay Instagram: lifelonglearning.podcast Email: [email protected] Blog: lifelonglearningpodcast.substack.com **Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-Qb9_vmOLcy0Q4kdBEODwQ** ------------- German Version:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VrXt6tVigJfBpWuK3vZAjZT1IEDFeXzQ/view?usp=sharing Italian Version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11rdhXmUH0vwGayZFn9-rY7LPXksAn3bE/view?usp=sharing

I didn’t choose the title just to grab your attention. I literally broke up some of my habits it took me ages to establish. Sometimes, one has to be creative, search for new directions, and yes, maybe sometimes going the opposite direction is just what it needs to move forward. ------------- Music from FASSounds at Pixabay Instagram: lifelonglearning.podcast Email: [email protected] Blog: lifelonglearningpodcast.substack.com **Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-Qb9_vmOLcy0Q4kdBEODwQ** -------------

What if the host of a show about productivity has to deal with procrastination and a lack of motivation? Yep, that's me, currently at my lowest energy levels. No filters, no hiding, you're going to experience the full roller coster of emotions, the successes, the throwbacks. I want to recover, I want to come back stronger as a person, a friend, a host - and why not sharing this first hand advices with others? ------------- Music from FASSounds at Pixabay Instagram: lifelonglearning.podcast Email: [email protected] Blog: lifelonglearningpodcast.substack.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-Qb9_vmOLcy0Q4kdBEODwQ** -------------

We can't avoid it, but we can work around it, especially with the right preparation: There is nothing more stressful than sitting an exam or having to write a paper in a matter of a few hours and having a mental black out, and we won't solve this issue today. What we will do is discover ways how to minimize and deal with this situation the best way possible. ------------- Music from John_Sib at Pixabay Instagram: lifelonglearning.podcast Email: [email protected] Blog: lifelonglearningpodcast.substack.com ------------- German Version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x5paUsi5vYPHERd5x0tBSG8LutMXQ4qj/view?usp=sharing Italian Version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nlV-u0m1WTjlWNDtRFMyWBZ4sQMfYCqF/view?usp=sharing

Writing this description isn't taking me hours, but someone like chatGPT would already be done. He doesn't know how to procrastinate, how it is when you simply can't come up with the next sentence - or he does know, but doesn't experience it. Well, we still do, more than we'd like to. There are a few strategies we an adopt though to speed up the process a bit. In this episode, we concentrate on non-school-related texts, those we choose to write or take as assignments because we want to, because this doesn't mean that we aren't at risk of encountering this block. ------------- Instagram: lifelonglearning.podcast Email: [email protected] Blog: lifelonglearningpodcast.substack.com German Version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bYKR8dczrnoBMUYUpGGgI5C7nEytQSDi/view?usp=sharing Italian Version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c311EaOl4a9H_1tlqEV5L91ty0COb_FB/view?usp=sharing -------------

I'm probably not the right person to talk about being organized. No, I'm definitely not. It's a problem that I need to solve, and I've been trying for ages but no attempt was meant very seriously. You have to keep me accountable. Or maybe we can keep each other accountable, why not?

Read more - I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this sentence from my teachers. They have good reasons, no questions, but the mere act of reading won’t make us any smarter than not reading at all. In this episode, we’ll go over some techniques you can apply to make reading both a fun and productive activity - while still enjoying our favourite fantasy books and novels ------------- Music from John_Sib at Pixabay Instagram: lifelonglearning.podcast Email: [email protected] Blog: lifelonglearningpodcast.substack.com ------------- Italian Version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E95XNulXLzVXuN24iI__Q_jnad70Ir-b/view?usp=share_link German Version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F1u7-2BzLXhlLbHR_-u7MBURcPbbDJpi/view?usp=sharing

Delegating is THE solution to every time-related problem at the moment according to youtubers and influencers (adults that have a job). We don't have a job to delegate, what we do is either something we have to do (school) or want to do (not school).  Does that mean we have to get along with them alone? No. We don't, at least not always. In today's episode we're going to look at some shortcuts that will make our life easier and faster. Be prepared: we're not going to delegate everything to humans... ------------- Music from John_Sib at Pixabay Instagram: lifelonglearning.podcast Email: [email protected] Blog: lifelonglearningpodcast.substack.com ------------- Italian Version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EonQgfv3KFlZqK55se2eBmlIgu2p2xhe/view?usp=sharing German Version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zxWa-To9t30GVuGKq-We7Sv6BYjf7QL6/view?usp=share_link
