On the 31st of March, the European Parliament launched the project My House of European History, and a couple of days before that celebrated the 60th anniversaire of the treaty of Rome at the Campidoglio. I had the pleasure to participate to this conference after winning the online contest.
On role models & why not being able to choose what you like is a good thing
Good afternoon fellow readers !
The other day I stumbled upon a quote by Aristotle saying “knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” This really struck a chord because I believe that too few people actually know themselves. Sure, you might be able to identify your favorite meal, color or season, but here I’m talking about what really constitutes you as a person at a much deeper level.
If we think about it, from the age of 3 or so, we’re in school, and most of our time is spent there. Sure, we have our weekends and holidays free until we start getting homework to do, so we are in a sense free to play what we want. During those time, we can let our nature express itself.
However, too quickly, responsibilities and daily worries arise and constrain our true self. We try to build our identities around role models – whether they are at school, work or celebrities – and act in a way that would make us closer to them.
Do you have an afternoon routine ?
Happy Sunday everyone ! ☕️
In order to begin next week on the right foot, today’s blog post is a productivity talk where I share some life hacks with you.
Deciding that you are going to be more productive and efficient usually leads you – if you’re like me – to google every topic possible related to productivity. When I started to research this topic, the first articles I stumbled upon were probably about mornings : how it is important to get up early, and the necessity of being organized and having a routine to start your day right.
Similarly, a lot of people praise the importance of night routines, especially people who want to get to bed earlier or who want to lay out every thing they will need for the next day to avoid to dreadful morning rush. But what about being prepared for your afternoon ?
