Have you ever looked at your queue of podcasts 
, watchlist 
, and read later queue 
and felt overwhelmed?
It can be stressful to see a long list of things you still need to get done.
What if we shift our perspective and see these lists as things to enjoy, rather than things to do? [1/4]
Instead of feeling the pressure to finish each item on our lists 
, let's embrace the excitement of having a wide range of options available to us 
.
Imagine scrolling through your podcast queue and feeling anticipation for each new episode, or browsing your watchlist with excitement for the next movie or TV show to dive into without being frustrated when we can‘t check off everything? 
[2/4]
Let's remind ourselves that these lists are meant to enhance our leisure time 
, not stress us out 
. So next time you open up your podcast app or streaming service, take a moment to appreciate the variety of options at your fingertips

@flohgro that is exactly how I am approaching it. I love the fact that there are always books, articles, podcasts, documentations, films, I can choose from that I have personally already filtered for my interests. Always a lovely feeling to browse through personal lists or archives 
@philipp that’s great! I often feel that I need to complete my podcast queue or the reading list - but the fact is that there is always more to read / watch / listen or whatever than you’ve got time in a day 
it’s great to approach it like you describe this!
@flohgro Exactly. I also have a long podcast queue and reading list, but in fact, both of them change every single day, since I stumble across something that interests me even more at that time. But, all the other stuff does not go anywhere else, since I always come back to it when I browse through my lists. 
I stopped stressing myself about an ever-growing archive of podcasts, books, articles, and instead just embrace it as my personal exploration space, since I always find something there.
@philipp love that! I realized that I need to stop stressing myself to complete these lists
