SHOWNOTES
30-DAY CHALLENGE
POMODORO-ING MY FACE OFF: Lianne used the Pomodoro technique religiously, and it still works like a charm.
HOLIDAY PICTURES: Andrew’s holiday got postponed so he didn’t do this one.
We have an interesting discussion on the concept of 30-day challenges and actual long term habit change. More on that next episode.
BOOK OF THE MONTH
This month we review Chidera Eggerue’s What A Time To Be Alone: the Slumflower’s guide on why you’re already enough! You can buy it here* for only 15 euros: I have this hardcover (Lianne) and it’s GORGEOUS.
