Podcast on Europe, Productivity, Work-Life Balance & Project Management
Hello there! Erik Thor here, inviting you on a journey through my monthly reflections and day-to-day realizations on work, life, and everything in between. In this episode, you’ll hear me jump from the wonders (and quirks) of European “slowness,” to exploring how AI impacts our productivity, to the importance of taking mini-breaks so we don’t burn out. I share why I believe we should redefine success—fewer frantic emails, more thoughtful intention-setting—and how we might find deeper meaning in our routines.

I also dig into why community ownership and local engagement can be far more rewarding than racing to buy the latest phone. I’ve been learning that sometimes the greatest productivity hack is to simply live more gently, more intentionally.

I hope these musings spark your own insights. Don’t forget: if you feel scattered or stressed, you’re not failing—you’re just human, and you probably need a rest. After all, we each have only two hands, two eyes, and a heart that wants to connect with something real.

Enjoy the episode! And remember—“A moment of quiet can unlock a lifetime of purpose.”

(Philosophical question: What if our most powerful form of progress lies in the spaces between tasks? 🤔)
