The Art of Finding Balance
So many people talk about hustling hard, going fast, doing whatever it takes to get there. They view the journey as only a means to an end, rushing past the beauty of life in the present in hopes of making it to that future destination ASAP.
Admittedly, I've been there. But lately I've been reminded that this journey we're on should not feel like a means to an end. This journey we're on is the life we get to live. So how do you make the most of the journey? How do you enjoy living “now” while simultaneously hustling toward the future?
Discovering Seoul Ep. 3
This is the final & most gorgeous vlog from my adventures in Seoul, South Korea! Exploring the palaces in the city, unique modern architecture at Ewha Women's University, shopping in Myeongdong, and the dazzling Seoul Lantern Festival on the Cheonggyecheon Stream.
Discovering Seoul Ep. 2
Traveling through the vibrant city of Seoul: eating delicious fusion food, moving apartments, indulging in tteokbokki rice cakes, exploring the National Museum of Korea & the expat neighborhood of Itaewon, and always ending our night with sweets! This is such a delicious trip.
Productivity: Parkinson’s Law
Have you heard of Parkinson's Law? The law states that a task will swell in importance the more time you allot to complete it, meaning that the more time you give yourself to do something, the more complex and daunting it will seem. The lesson? Set tight deadlines and time limits for tasks. I read about it in The 4 Hour Workweek, and although I'd never heard of it before, it made sense immediately: I (unintentionally) worked Parkinson's law to create and launch my first album!
Discovering Seoul
In this video, my friends and I arrive in Seoul, South Korea! First, we explore the neighborhood of Hongdae and eat (Korean) BBQ the first evening.

Watch the video after the jump~
