Bridging the Know-Do Gap: The Iterative Process

Struggling to turn knowledge into action? In this episode, we explore the Know-Do Gap—why we often fail to apply what we learn—and how the iterative process can help. From overcoming perfectionism to building habits through small, repeated steps, we’ll break down practical strategies for bridging the gap between knowing and doing. Tune in for actionable insights, real-world examples, and a fresh perspective on making progress—even when you feel stuck. The book I referenced in this episode but forgot the name of was 'How to Do The Work' by Dr Nicole LePera. Though, disclaimer, I wouldn't recommend it. After finishing it, I found it danced in pseudoscience: had she stuck to talking about the positive benefits of positive thinking without going into discussions of links between autism and gut bacteria (sigh), she would have written a decent book. 🎧 Listen now and start closing the Know-Do Gap, one step at a time! #Productivity #SelfImprovement #Mindset GET MORE FROM ME: ✨ Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Cinzia 📬 Got a topic you'd love to hear on the pod?

episode Why Do We Forget the Books We Read? artwork
Why Do We Forget the Books We Read?

Have you ever looked at a book on your shelf and realised you don’t remember anything about it? Recently, I had to confront that horrifying reality when I picked up not one but two books that I'd not only read, but annotated! How is it possible to completely forget reading a book one has annotated? In this episode, I explore the science behind memory and reading, why some stories stick with us while others fade, and whether forgetting a book means the time spent reading it was wasted.  GET MORE FROM ME: ✨ Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Cinzia 📬 Got a topic you'd love to hear on the pod?

Quitting the Internet

How is it possible to quit the internet in today's day and age? We need the internet for everything, from communicating with loved ones to online banking and paying our bills. But, have we ever truly challenged ourselves to think about how little we actually need to use the internet? In this episode, I explore the growing desire to disconnect from the digital world. From the overwhelming pressure of online life to the mental toll of constant content creation, I reflect on what it means to step back, reclaim time, and find meaning beyond the algorithm. Is quitting the internet the answer, or is there another way to exist online without losing yourself? Let’s talk about it.

episode The Anxiety of the Unwritten artwork
The Anxiety of the Unwritten

We all have ideas—brilliant, ambitious, half-formed thoughts swirling in our minds. But why is it so hard to turn them into something real? In this episode of The Annotated Mind, we explore the tension between thinking and doing, the perfectionism that keeps us from starting, and the fear of committing thoughts to the page (or any tangible form). Why do unwritten ideas feel safer? How do we overcome the anxiety of creating something imperfect? And what happens when we let go of the need for perfection and just begin? 📬 Got a topic you'd love to hear on the pod?

Welcome to The Annotated Mind: Thinking in the Margins

What does it mean to truly engage with ideas? The Annotated Mind is a space for deep, reflective thinking—where history, philosophy, and literature meet personal growth and curiosity. In this first episode, I share why I’m rebranding the podcast, what you can expect moving forward, and why annotation—scribbling in the margins, questioning, and connecting ideas—might just be the best way to navigate an overwhelming world. Let’s slow down, think deeply, and explore the art of intellectual curiosity together. 📬 Got a topic you'd love to hear on the pod?
