Description

Welcome to the first episode of our Reminder Series! In this episode, Iso dives into a personal practice he's been using: setting reminders on his phone to remember important life lessons. It might sound odd to some, and it’s even a bit embarrassing for him, but these reminders have become a significant part of his routine.By reading and reflecting a lot, he’s always looking for ways to be better, kinder, and more understanding both in work and personal relationships. Occasionally, he stumbles upon a "lightbulb" moment and writes it down to be reminded of it.One of these reminders simply reads, "Enjoy it." It's a powerful message to appreciate the present moment. Despite having achieved many things, like running a recognized food event and being featured in the New York Times, he found himself often overlooking the beauty of his achievements. He'd focus on the minor inconveniences instead of celebrating the bigger picture.Drawing from an impactful personal story, he shares about a time when he was living a dream life in San Francisco. But instead of soaking it all in, he found himself complaining about minor tasks. The phrase "Humans are never satisfied" really struck a chord with him and led to the "Enjoy it" reminder.Iso emphasizes the value of being present and appreciating where we are in life. Many of us work hard to get to our current positions, so it's vital to cherish it rather than constantly wishing for something different.Wrapping up, he encourages listeners to try setting their own phone reminders and see if they help bring more mindfulness and gratitude into daily life.
