omehow in this weird world, I’ve managed to carve a career out of one of my passions. Self improvement. Every week day I publish a post on this blog hoping to inspire someone to make a small change in their life for the better. It occurred to me quite recently that sometimes this might come across as preachy, which is absolutely not my intention at all. I’ve been in the wellness/productivity/life improvement game for eight years now and I thought it was about time I address some of my challenges and how I combat them.
1. I’m very easily distracted, so I have to use timers and boundaries to keep myself on track.
2. I have a tendency to over-eat, so I have to practice hard core portion control.
3. I’m very fomo (fear of missing out), so I have to do a lot of positive self talk to remind myself that I can’t be everywhere and do everything all the time.
Smaggle is all about manageable and non-painful advice to help everyone lead the best life they can. However it all starts with recognising what your daily challenges are and how you can go about addressing them.
This week on Straight and Curly Kelly and I discuss the fact that nobody is perfect. We outline our flaws and talk about how we try (and try again) to overcome them. If you haven’t listened to Straight and Curly yet, this is a great place to start.
You can find this week’s episode about the impossible pursuit of perfection on Straight and Curly – a podcast for self improvement junkies. Each week we try a life hack like eating 5 cups of vegetables every day or keeping a gratitude journal. Then we report on our findings and tell you whether you should try it or whether it’s a giant waste of your time.
If you don’t know how to listen to podcasts don’t fret – here are a few tips.
iPhone users
Open up the podcast app on your phone (it already lives there so you don’t need to download it) and search for Straight and Curly. Then hit subscribe and you’re good to go.

Desktop users
You can listen to it while you work at your computer – just click this link here.

If you love the podcast, it would be totally ace if you left a review. It helps other self improvement junkies to find each other and then we can sit around and talk about sleep hygiene and productivity apps. Hells yeah.
