Join Jules and Mark in this latest episode and discover what overwhelm is and, more importantly, how you can recognise and reduce it.
We all get overwhelmed at certain points in our lives. You could be a student with a busy study schedule leading up to exams or maybe an adult trying to juggle work, family and life pressures. Sometimes it can all get a little too much.
Think of overwhelm as a glass of water. Once the glass is full, it's impossible to pour any more liquid into it and it's going to overflow. Every drop of water could be a task, a pressure or a commitment in your life and, one more of these could cause you to overflow. Let's explore ways to reduce the stresses of life and live each day on a calmer basis.

M for Milestones | Our 100th Episode | Track Your Success
Jules and Mark are proud to announce the 100th podcast episode of the Future Toolbox, as they chat about milestones and why they're essential to keeping us on track to achieving our goals.
A milestone traditionally was a stone at the side of the road that would tell you how far you had to go to get to the next major town or city. Nowadays, they're tracks in which we recognise things in life. It could be a goal to hit a number of something (like 100 podcasts), or it could be a streak of how many days you learn or achieve something. Mark ran 100 half marathons, and Jules is on a learning streak on her Spanish language app.
Find out how to hit milestones, track your progress toward your success goals, and create some life memories on the journey.

S for Self-discipline | Stop Making Excuses and Be in Control
In this latest episode, Jules and Mark explore the benefits of practising self-discipline which leads to being in control of your life.
There's an age old phrase that says, 'If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail!'. Indeed, to effectively achieve any outcome, then you need to have a plan in place, carry out the action and of course, stay on track. Also, planning helps to ensure that you get things done and it relieves stress.
Whether you're studying for an exam, running a marathon or simply trying to eat healthier, planning and self-discipline are key to achieving your goals.

A for Awareness | How to Understand Neurodiversity
Join Jules and Mark on the Z to A of Life as they talk about awareness and how to recognise neurodiverse and understand traits.
The 2nd of April is National Autism Day in the UK. People with autism face many barriers and discrimination across many sectors, including health and social care systems, education and employment. This also extends to other neurodiverse conditions including ADHD and brain injury.
This episode explores the importance of becoming more aware of the spectrum and how we are all on it somewhere. Becoming aware will help our society to become more inclusive.

P for Personal Development | How to Find Fun in Learning & Developing
Join Jules and Mark on the Z to A of Life to discover how to put the fun into your learning journey and engage in personal development to keep growing and achieving the things that you desire in life.
Learning sometimes has a negative stigma attached to it because of the rigid education system putting students under pressure to memorise facts and pass exams. This makes teens break into a cold sweat and adults run a mile when they hear the word 'learning'. However, personal development is exactly what it suggests! It's about you and your personal growth. The more you grow, the more fulfilling life becomes.
So be brave and open your mind to different ways to enjoy learning and progressing towards your goals. Create a vision for a life on your own terms and explore ways to learn to do the things you love.
