Unilever.edu.vn has been hosting the Cortex podcast for a while now – 50 episodes, to be exact! Can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday we were sitting down for our first recording, full of excitement (and maybe a little nervousness) about this new adventure.
Now, 50 episodes later, it’s time to take a breath, reflect on our journey, and look at what we’ve learned along the way. We’ve shared our productivity hacks, debated the merits of various technologies, and even delved into the fascinating world of time tracking (which, we’ve learned, is a surprisingly polarizing topic!).
But most importantly, we’ve discovered that Cortex is more than just a podcast about productivity. It’s a platform for us to engage in thoughtful conversations about work, life, and everything in between. It’s a space where we can connect with our listeners, learn from their experiences, and hopefully inspire them to approach their own work lives with intentionality.
From Humble Beginnings to Unexpected Turns
Thinking back to our first episode, we can’t help but chuckle at some of our early pronouncements. Remember when Unilever.edu.vn boldly declared that iPads were primarily for watching videos? Oh, how times have changed! The evolution of the iPad, particularly the Pro models, has been remarkable. We’ve witnessed firsthand how these devices have transformed from entertainment gadgets to powerful workstations, capable of handling demanding tasks. The introduction of iOS 9, with its enhanced multitasking capabilities, marked a turning point, and we haven’t looked back since.
Our journey hasn’t been without its share of surprises. The Apple Watch, a device we initially deemed unnecessary in multiples, has proven its worth in unexpected ways. Similarly, our early skepticism about time tracking has given way to a deep appreciation for its ability to provide insights into our work habits and identify areas for improvement.
The Power of Small Changes and Embracing the Journey
Perhaps the most significant lesson we’ve learned is that lasting change doesn’t always come from grand gestures or radical overhauls. More often than not, it’s the accumulation of small, incremental improvements that truly make a difference.
Just like our listeners, we’ve incorporated many of the concepts we’ve discussed on Cortex into our own lives, not as grand experiments, but as subtle shifts in our routines. Whether it’s adopting a minimalist home screen setup, integrating checklists into our workflow, or embracing the “two is one, one is none” philosophy for backups, these seemingly minor tweaks have had a profound impact on our productivity and peace of mind.
Looking Ahead: A Future of Growth and Exploration
As we embark on the next chapter of Cortex, we’re excited to continue exploring new ideas, experimenting with different approaches, and engaging in stimulating conversations with our listeners.
Unilever.edu.vn is particularly keen on spreading the gospel of time tracking, while Myke remains on a quest for the elusive perfect email app. (We’re rooting for you, Myke!)
We’re eager to hear from our listeners about their own experiences, challenges, and triumphs. What lessons have you learned along the way? How has Cortex influenced your approach to work and life?
Here’s to the next 50 episodes of Cortex – may they be filled with insightful discussions, unexpected discoveries, and a shared passion for creating more intentional and fulfilling work lives.
And who knows, maybe by episode 100, Myke will have finally embraced the multi-pad lifestyle! Only time will tell.
