6:54Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

Montemagno draws on a Guardian article about small everyday changes and adds personal experiences. Practical habits, such as keeping keys in the same place, alternate with relational choices: listening carefully, contacting an old friend, offering compliments and learning to say no. He also suggests reserving time for something enjoyable and allowing a transition day after holidays. Rather than a formula for radical transformation, this is a collection of small adjustments he finds useful.
