Making the Most of Every Space

Published: Dec. 10, 2020, 1:30 p.m.

Hey there! This week, after my tea talk (yellow fruits & hibiscus tea in a book store mug), and life update (time with my dad, holiday activities & Harvard courses), I talk about \u201cmaking the most of every space\u201d. I introduce this topic with some personal anecdotes, what it means to me, and the structure for this episode. Then, I dive into why I think it appeals so much to me, including movies, wanting to grasp life and feel cool, and admiring those in my life who do make the most of every space. Next, I think about how I can exercise this through group projects, plans with friends, and mentality shifts. I look to the future with the possible results this can have on my life: being more intense, having greater memories, stronger bonds, more confidence, and gratitude for the small things. I share my favourite podcast, online creator, and tik tok side, and read a review before signing off.\n\n\n TO GET DIRECTLY TO THE CONTENT, SKIP TO 12:15\n\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\nSEND ME A VOICE MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/th351a-beaury/message\nCHECK OUT THE DESIGNERS OF MY COVER ART: https://instagram.com/sofiarrublacreative?igshid=1xtsd1w69zkkl\nhttps://instagram.com/cuerpobaldio?igshid=1jq5cb59nm2z\nSTART YOUR PODCAST NOW BY HEADING TO anchor.fm\n\n\nCHECK OUT THE THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE):\nHakawatii: http://www.hakawati.jo/?lang=en\nTOSTAO: https://tostao.com\nExercising Leadership: Foundational Principles (Harvard course): https://online-learning.harvard.edu/course/exercising-leadership-foundational-principles?delta=0\nRhetoric: The Art of Persuasive Writing and Public Speaking (Harvard course): https://online-learning.harvard.edu/course/rhetoric-art-persuasive-writing-and-public-speaking?delta=1\nMy interview on Words And Beyond (Being Vulnerable): https://open.spotify.com/episode/4qLuCQ3SpVlx4xiqLmOeZ0?si=o7oI3xZKTiCIo56Cd19SkA\nListen to \u201cRomanticize Your Life!\u201d (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/4SzNgCnW36iV1xDAe4U0Um?si=ExvWMtrTTSSzWCduuRC1Dw\nListen to \u201cFeeling Out of Place\u201d (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/3PG6bVKP1oebhEOa37dD9b?si=_-LsF6mqQ960rYpXg55GXA\nTOM Medell\xedn: https://www.col.tomglobal.org/blog\nListen to Job Interviews (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/2publCpxSe6CZn4AjZSI1r?si=YzNduYEaQTWPkZVCwALphg\nMoments where life feels surreal tik toks: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSsDRaqx/ https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSsAwrRG/\nCheck out the Better Ideas YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BetterIdeas\n\n\nHERE ARE SONE QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK\u2019S EPISODE:\n15:24 = \u201cWhen you come together for a certain cause, you probably won\u2019t leave just with that experience, but with so much more\u201d\n20:00 = \u201cI want to be able to say yes\u201d\n24:24 = \u201cMaybe the practical and efficient way is subtracting from all the value that can come from an experience\u201d \n25:08 = \u201cMy main preoccupation shouldn\u2019t be getting things done as quickly as possible, but just living the experience, being able to gather with these people, and knowing as I went in that it may not be the most efficient way to do things, but my future self would be thankful because I would be gaining life experience and memories\u201d\n26:31 = \u201cI need to start making the effort to get together with people\u201d\n28:03 = \u201cNot only doing things for the sake of doing them\u201d\n28:20 = \u201cIf I\u2019m joining something, I should be aware from the start that I\u2019m not only doing it for the goal, but for the whole experience it can entail\u201d\n33:15 = \u201cWhenever you\u2019re out in a room (or in a call) with people you can learn so much from them, beyond what you\u2019re specifically gathered to do, and you can make life long friendships with these people you stumble upon where you least expect it\u201d\n35:34 = \u201cI want to learn to enjoy people, spaces, and moments\u201d\n\nThanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
