The Self Improvement Diary

The Self Improvement Diary

By Simone Bonato

Have you ever come to know a good habit, like reading a lot of books, but in the end struggled and eventually failed to put it into constant practice?

Well, this happens to everyone, and the aim of this podcast is to tell you some useful techniques that can surely improve your life, but most of all I will share with you my day by day experience so that you might be inspired to do so.

The episodes will have the format of a diary in which, at first I will introduce you those good habits, and then let you know how I try to make them stick into my daily routine.

New podcast!

Hi all,
Thank you very much for the support you have given me in this podcast. Thanks to the little experience that I made with "The Self Improvement Diary" I've recently decided to start a new podcast, in which I go throught the same topics but in a more detailed way.
If you still want to follow me you can find me on basically every podcast platform and on Instagram at "The Self Improvement Lab".
You can also find the information on my website: www.theselfimprovementlab.com.

Thnaks!

Podcast vs Music - Episode 16

Podcast vs Music - Episode 16

Today I'm going to make a quick comparison between the use that I make of podcasts and music from my point of view.


I do believe that they both extremely useful but in different situations.



These are the podcasts I mentioned in the episode with the relative topics:


-Hello Internet: everyday stuff, YouTube, work 


-College Info Geek: university, productivity, health


-Feel Better Live More: health, medicine 


-Numberphile: mathematics, successful lives


-The Ground Up Show: minimalism, productivity 



This is the Spotify playlist that I sometimes use to study: https://open.spotify.com/user/%2Aruby%2A/playlist/1MIEdE9gfr6wgkylJu64PI?si=v_Dyxzr2TqqNvZRXHfuvSg
