    Why Can't I Just Start? The Science of Procrastination

    This week, we're getting into something we're both a little too familiar with: procrastination. And no, it's not about being lazy or bad at managing your time. It turns out it's actually an emotion regulation problem, and once we learned that, everything started to make a lot more sense. We get honest about how it shows up in our own lives, dig into why our brains seem designed to work against us (anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, doom-scrolling productivity TikTok — we cover it all), and share the things that have actually, genuinely helped us. No lecture, no five-step plan. Just two friends figuring it out together, one sip at a time.procrastination, adhd, mental health, emotion regulation, self-improvement, procrastination helpSupport the showFOLLOW US HEREInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/matchamorningclubTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@matchamorningclubYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@matchamorningclub

    Analogue Living: How Social Media Broke Us (And What We're Doing About It) | Part 1

    In this episode (Part 1 of 2), we unpack what analogue living actually means, why 2026 feels like the year everyone is craving something slower, and how social media's evolution is a huge part of the story. It started as a way to connect with friends, became a space to consume creators, and is now increasingly shaped by AI. Somewhere in that shift, a lot of us lost the thread.We're paying more for subscriptions, being autoscrolled past things before we've decided if we want to engage, and feeling lonelier than ever despite being more "connected."This isn't an anti-tech manifesto. But there's something worth naming here and it is a collective exhaustion that's pushing people toward physical books, journalling, film cameras, and yes, flip phones.Part 2 will be all about building your own Dopamine Menu. But first, let's talk about how we got here.💬 When was the last time the internet actually made you feel calmer?

    Why Is It So Hard to Stop Buying Stuff? Fighting Consumerism Together!

    Ever open your phone and somehow end up with three things in your cart you definitely didn't need? Same.This week on Matcha Morning Club, we're getting into why resisting consumerism feels genuinely harder in 2026 than it ever has before — and why that's not a personal failing. We're talking algorhytm-powered ads that know you too well, the quiet chaos of subscription creep, "treating yourself" as a coping mechanism, TikTok hauls, influencer culture, and the very real tension between wanting nice things and not wanting to destroy the planet buying them.We also share our most embarrassing impulse purchases (no judgment, we've all been there), the strategies that have actually helped us slow down, and why sometimes the most satisfying thing is genuinely just... not buying the thing.Whether you're trying to save money, consume less, or just figure out why your algorithm feels like it's inside your brain — this one's for you.This week's question: What's the silliest thing you bought recently?Support the showFOLLOW US HEREInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/matchamorningclubTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@matchamorningclubYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@matchamorningclub
