Everyone wants a successful and happy life, but just a few actually achieve it. I believe that the key to success lies in the little actions that we can perform every day, that will eventually reward us in the long run.
I am Simone Bonato, an Italian university student, entrepreneur and "productivity nerd". How to sleep, how to study, skill learning, scheduling, fitness, meditation... These are just a few examples of what you can find in my podcast!
This show is designed to anyone that, like me, is interested in all the possible ways to lead a happy and purposeful life.

    Social Media Addiction #9

    Social Media Addiction #9

    In this new episode of "The Self  Improvement Lab" I am giving you a little insight of how social media might be influencing your life, in a negative way.

    I apologise if I got a bit triggered by this topic, but I do believe that more and more people should just open their eyes and understand that they are being controlled by them, not fully experiencing their lives.

    Episode sections:


    Why is social media so addictive?
    FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)
    Some worrying stats
    Negative effects of social media
    How to fix your relationship with social media
    My experience

    The ATARI model for habit creation on social media.
