Liven's Procrastination Song

 

Procrastination is not a sign of a broke mentality, but a symptom of a broken system that glorifies relentless productivity over well-being and output over purpose at the expense of rest. But sure go ahead, drink your coffee and do the 3 minute quizz, maybe it will improve your productivity.

All you need to know about Eurovision 2025

Eurovision is one of the few shows we can enjoy together with our kids and their grandparents so we take things very seriously. Although we have to explain at least two major global conflicts in addition to all the ladies singing in their underwear while riding oversized microphones. May in France is blessed with more than one long weekend so we had the chance to have not one but two Eurovision family trips in the last few years. Not really joining the crowds for the live show but if we happen to be renting a holiday house with our extended family at the same time we will definitely turn on the tv for all the fun and chaos. But this year the Swiss dialled down on both of those by muting out the crowds. 

Austria, we count on you to do better next year. Cha, cha, cha!

Seashells and shards

Faith in magic feels strongest around the winter solstice, especially as we cross into a new year marking the first quarter of the 21st century. This week I woke up in the middle of the night realising we left the Christmas tree lights on. I had completely forgotten about the glass bowl in the middle of the livingroom. That evening our youngest had decided to sort our collection of seashells but fell asleep on the couch during a movie. By the time I understood what happened, I heard the sharp sound of broken glass half way through the room. The floor was a complete mess of shattered glass and scattered seashells. I almost threw everything away to get back to bed as soon as possible. But then I decided this was a chance to remember all the long walks in the sand and a sign of good fortune for the new year. After all, I had just crossed the room barefoot in the dark avoiding both seashells and shards. Surely, that was some kind of magic on its own.
