How To Uni

Hey back!

Establishing the attitude to just show up and put in the work is very crucial! Not only does it simplify a lot for you, but you will also have a positive influence on others! 

Hey there! 

Today's topic is one that I talked about with my friend Flo in one of the episodes that we did together, already. So you can see it is one that I feel passionate about again ;) Semesters abroad, at another university in another country really do give you a lot and today I want to address three points that are probably not the ones you usually hear first if somebody talks about the opportunity to go abroad :)

Good morning! :)

We all know this type of person that inspires everyone around them to be better, to try harder and develop further. If you do not have them in your circle of friends then at least you know them from TV. But what makes these people so inspirational and how can you for yourself start becoming this kind of person? I wanna give you my thoughts on that today...

Welcome back!

Today's episode is a bit emotional (I am sure you will understand what I mean as soon as you listen to the episode... :D). We are talking about how to get things and what is (in my opinion) the most important factor that determines if you can make something happen or not.

Moin!

Sleep.Is.Important. You will hear that from me over and over again, because I did not know that when I started university and I see that as one of my biggest "mistakes". In this episode I want to give those amongst you, who struggle with getting enough sleep, some tips on how to succeed on this quest ;)

Good morning guys!

Sixth episode with Flo! I hope you still enjoy that format, we will try to do one episode per week again from now on.

A lot of students constantly complain about their studies and about how difficult everything is (I have to admit, to a certain extent, I am guilty of that, too). Though, when you reach a certain point in your studies, you will realize that university is actually not that hard ... 

Hi :)

I have to say I am very excited for your comments on this episode! In this episode we are looking at a scenario that is almost un-imaginable. What could you do if you do not have a clear goal right now, if you are not in one of your sprint phases. For me these downtimes are sometimes even more demanding mentally than the work itself ...

Good morning guys!

Fifth episode with Flo! I hope you still enjoy that format, we will try to do one episode per week again from now on.

In this episode we address the topic of what makes you a good student. (Spoiler: It is not just your grades... - in my opinion)

Good morning!

Today we will talk about a "human factor" at university, the professors! I know that for most students they seem to be this entity far away and above them, but today I would like to talk about how to establish good relationships with them and why I think this is important for you. 

Welcome back!

Fourth episode with Flo and the second in the same week :o ! I hope you enjoy that new format, we will try to do one episode per week together from now on.

Today's episode is on the dark topic of quitting! Everybody talks about never giving up, but is there a point at which it makes sense to quit?

Hey!

Third episode with Flo! I hope you enjoy that new format, we will try to do one episode per week together from now on.

Today's talk was on a topic I was thinking a lot about due to my studies. Do we only like the things we are good at? Is it possible to like things more by practicing them?

Good morning!

Today we have an extremely serious and sadly often overlooked topic! Everything we consume every day,  from music over movies to YouTube videos, has a direct effect on our believes, our mood and in general on what we are capable of doing. I am not only talking about spending your time more productively but to strictly control what you are consuming every day!

Hey there, good morning and Merry Christmas to all of you that are celebrating! :)

We are extremely used to others holding us accountable. Be it our parents, our professors or our boss at work, someone will always check if you have accomplished something. But usually these other parties only hold us accountable to the bare minimum. In order to actually achieve more than that, we have to learn to take over this function ourselves and hold ourselves accountable for what we said we would do.

Welcome back! I hope you had a good start into the new week! :)

Today's episode is a very practical one and focuses on managing your time well, so that you do not get overwhelmed by your workload at some point. I think we are all familiar with the following situation: The semester starts, everything seems very relaxed, a bit too relaxed and from one week to the next we are drowning in work and it seems impossible to get everything done while still having a social life ... or sleep :D 

There actually is a way to avoid that so that your next semester will be more ... balanced.

Hello, hello and hello again! 

Second episode with Flo! I hope you enjoy that new format, we will try to do one episode per week together from now on.

Today, quite a controversial topic. Do we actually need hobbies or can we sacrifice them if we need more time.

Good morning guys :)

I believe when a lot of you are talking about planning ahead, they make their life a bit too easy. I want to give my take on what planning ahead actually includes for me ! 

Welcome back :)

We are constantly talking about how to achieve the things that you want and be more efficient to invest more time into what you want to do. But... how do you actually find out what you want?

Hey there! 

University consists of many situations that are reoccurring. Once you understood that you can develop strategies for these and refine them every time you experience the same.

I hope you are having a good start into the new week!

We all know these days where we just feel to weak to do anything, where we are about to lose all hope of achieving anything, where we do not think that we are strong enough. We all have them, it is just important how to deal with them...

Welcome ;)

Lectures are an essential part of university and even if a lot of you (especially those of you who are new at uni) believe that they are not necessary, I strongly believe the opposite. This episode is my approach of convincing you to go to your lectures (seriously though, they are necessary...)

Hi!

Today's episode is all about respect! I believe it is an essential but sadly extremely underestimated part of our life when interacting with others. Since in university we are constantly around people, be it our friends, Professors or university staff, I think it is useful to talk about the importance of showing others respect and what it can do for you.

Hello, hello and hello!

The first episode with a co-host, my friend Flo! I hope you enjoy that new format, we will try to do one episode per week together from now on.

As our first topic we talk about taking care of yourself, so how to keep you body and mind healthy while having a relatively stressful schedule.

Morning ;)

Very often we want it all! As soon as we have decided that something needs to change, we want to make it happen over night and throw ourselves onto the problem with everything we got. But is that a sustainable way of solving problems? Actions usually require persistence and in this episode I want to elaborate on the importance of sustainability in your actions and initiatives.

Ahoi!

Have you realized that your imagination of something is quite often extremely different to the thing itself. I experienced so often that I imagined a certain event to be a certain way and when I actually was in that situation, it turned out to be completely different. Often times we allow our imagination of something to determine if we actually do that thing or not. I think that is a mistake...

Hey!

Today's topic is about the importance of close friends and family. Nothing more to be said...

Good morning!

Today's topic is kind of philosophical. There are multiple people (and of course I agree with them...) that say, you should not only focus on the things that you naturally enjoy doing the most, but also live out all the other facets of yourself regularly in order to have a more fulfilled life (like the athlete who should still draw sth from time to time). I want to go over that today, because I realized again today how true that is for me.

I appreciate you being back here ;)

Nothing is as difficult as starting something. As soon as we overcome this barrier and get into the doing phase, most of the things turn out to be not as difficult (or simply annoying) as we thought they would be. In this episode I am trying to give you a few tipps on how to overcome the hurdle of starting something.

Hey!

In this episode we are talking maths :D (I am kidding...)

Very often we find ourselves in situations were we either think something is not good enough or not worth it. Both of these thoughts will be tackled in this episode with the principle that 1 > 0.

WELCOME BACK! :)

Achieving something big requires a lot of things! One of these things is, without a doubt, patience! Committing yourself for long amounts of time, sometimes without even knowing if it will pay off, is pretty difficult! In this episode I am talking over the importance of patience!

Guys, in this episode I am going over something difficult. Dealing with failure, especially in university, where every failure seems to be the end of the world, since it directly affects your future, is one of the most difficult things there are in the cosmos of higher education (apart from the subject you are studying of course ;) ). I really hope that I can give you a bit of a perspective on ... failure.

Ahoi!

Today I am trying to explain the "strategy" behind this podcast! ;) I believe university is, as so many other things, a mindset game and that, if in the right mindset, you will not need very practical advice from me, at least not as frequently as I could give it to you. Listen to this episode if you have ever been wondering how the title and the content on this podcast fit together!

Hi!

In this episode I am going over a topic that threw me off track multiple times over the years and that I really needed to learn the hard way! It is crucial for your longterm success to take breaks once in a while. I am talking about tips on how they could look like, and how often I think, you should consider taking them.

I really appreciate you being here again!

In this episode I am talking about how to deal with days, that are just not great, how to behave towards others and how to get out of the rabbit hole.

Welcome back!

The episode you are about to listen to is one of the most powerful ones! Routines are great vehicles for achieving your goals, they reduce the required willpower enormously. 

Hey there! 

Discussing with yourself is one of these things that we know we should not do, but do anyways. You will not be able to win in a discussion with yourself, so stop discussing in the first place! I learned this the hard way through a couple of setbacks and hope to make you aware of the fact through this episode.

Thanks for listening!

I believe that functionality and our own needs should (for the most part) determine what we buy. In this episode I go over my strategy for making bigger purchases and why the line between luxury and necessity is sometimes not as clear.

Hey and welcome back!

The episode you are about to listen to is probably one of the most important ones of all time, at least it had probably the biggest effect on myself implementing it into my own life. Setting SMARTer goals has changed a lot for me and I hope you find it as useful as I do.

Good morning! :)

Today's topic is something I struggled with (and still do to a certain extent) for the longest time. Celebrating my own wins had a lot of positive effects for me, which is why I want to share that with you as well.

Glad to have you here! 

A pretty random real life story of mine triggered my instinct of fighting it out today and inspired me to make an episode about why I believe that even seemingly unnecessary fights can make you better in the long run.  

Hey there and welcome back :)

I know you are all students, which means that you basically learn something new every day. However, I believe that it is extremely beneficial to learn something OUTSIDE of your major every day as well. In this episodes I explain why and how to implement it into your day.

Hi!

Since I know that university is not only about learning new things but also about remembering them all, I made a very concrete episode on how to memorize large amounts of information efficiently! A lot of the stuff on this podcast is mindset-related, but I think there are certain skills that you need in order to get through university without anxiety attacks ;)

Ahoi!

Today's topic seems to be in contrast to yesterday's episode, I do not believe so though ;) Goals follow dreams and your dreams should be BIG! Also I am giving my 2 cts on how you should see the university in the context of your life and your own aspirations.

I appreciate you! 

Today I am going over my life's motto, what makes it so powerful for me and what it means for you as a student. The difference between dreams and goals is marginal yet enormous!

Welcome back! :)

I had quite a long conversation with a friend of mine today. He is a very disciplined guy and gets done a lot. We both agree that waking up earlier can give you the extra time you need to reach your goals, academically and overall in life! For the longest time I struggled with waking up early, even though I knew that it is useful. In this episode I am going over a few tips to make it as easy for you as possible to get out of bed in the morning before everyone else ;)

Thanks a lot for being here again!

I am currently in a group project, which is why this episode is about how to make a group project successful. I think there are different roles in a group that you can take on and different strategies how to help your group the best.

Hey there! 

In the second episode I am talking about the future I imagine for this podcast. I think it is a process of constant improvement though so it will definitely be subject to some changes ;)
