Productivity - the key is in how it is measured. It depends on how much you get for your work, and then no one can wonder why it is somehow connected with satisfaction.
Since Spring hit I’ve been in book mode. On my breaktime everyone is on their phone in a tiny breakroom watching the blue light I’ll pull out a paper copy of On the Road and indulge for a bit in the outdoor seating area.
I live in Europe too and having studied geography in high-school, we've often been taught about Sweden and other Scandinavian countries as exemplary countries and case studies to look up to, so this was very interesting! If you wanted to do a longer video comparing living in LA vs Sweden, I'd be curious too
perfect timing, tomorrow i'm traveling to stockholm for my very first abroad solo trip (also flying for the very first time), i'm super excited and can't wait to feel the city vibe
Lana, your videos have really been helpful. A reminder to keep going on, and keep doing what you are doing, you are amazing at it. Really got to learn some beautiful words, always pretty good to find out habits and day to day traditional little things about other culture. Diversity is what keep us sane and humane. Keep Shining ✨
I have to get to Sweden some day, it looks like such a beautiful country! Awesome discussion, Lana! There is nothing more important than health and happiness! Great healthy habits. Keep being your awesome self, Lana!
Thanks for another great video, Lana! I'm an American, and I never wear shoes to bed and I can't speak for every American but I don't think most others do either lol. When I was younger, I always wondered why they do that in movies too and I used to think something's wrong with me for not wearing shoes to bed lol but I suspect it's because it looks better on camera for the actors to be wearing shoes than just in their socks or barefoot. There are a lot of things I think filmmakers portray differently on film than in real life just because of the aesthetic they're going for. But I could never do that in real life, it sounds way too uncomfortable 😂😂
If you were to do a video in Swedish I’d watch it if you had English subtitles. Maybe start with a 5-10 minute video to test things out but I like your content and it might be interesting
It's so important to cherish your daily life! That makes up most of our days, so it's necessary to feel comfortable being with oneself and to care for one's own good. Very nice vlog, I'd love to see more of the positive selfcare!
Americans do not wear shoes to/in bed. My friends and I find it strange that they do that in film/TV. Some people do where shoes inside homes, but definitely not in bed. The media is weird
Vi behöver en video på svenska. Du pratar med jättefint flow på engelska, så blev caught ofguard när du pratade SÅ fint på svenska. Vet inte om det är ovanan men damn 😂
I've never intentionally worn shoes to bed, but accidentally, yes. I will have to watch those commercials more closely, I've never noticed people wearing shoes to bed in those. Some Americans do take their shoes off inside the house and others don't. Sometimes it's a regional tradition though, in Alaska it is almost universal to take your shoes off at home, especially if you are visiting someone else.
Love all your content, thank you. The word or phrase I've always used and practice that's similar to lagom is "everything in moderation." I guess it's different, when uing it in the context you mentioned. You wouldn't say moderation, when asked how much chz on pasta. But, it's the same principle that I've lived by.
Now, I want to visit Sweden after seeing this video Lana, LOL! Thank you, for such a great video. Also, I am a huge reader so I might sign up for Shortform.
Such a great video, the scenery is fantastic! It makes me want to go and visit your beautiful country...the level of detail and effort that you put into your videos makes them really top quality 👌and so worth of my time 🙌I am curious to taste your pizza now perche in Italia certamente la pizza (e non solo) è una delizia! 😉Niksen = Dolce Far Niente in italian
I think swedes need to get over this concept that taking your shoes off inside is somehow special because I cannot think of a single place where that isn't done. I have been to many US states and many countries in europe and I have never, ever gone to someone's house and NOT taken my shoes off. I do love all the small traditions though, and of course, fika.
I'm gonna say something extremely political and controversial, but i hope Sweden preserves its culture. Preserve its religion and tradition for many many years to come.
Tappade hakan när du började tala svenska! Har alltid antagit att du är från USA och bor i Sverige😭 jag tänkte ”gud vilket bra uttal hon har”…sen klickade det ju😁
Imagining Sweden history, barbarians,war, culture and civilization with a million population. Beautiful place, rich and livable for a "time being". I burned my coffee and creamer around. It is easier to talk to a calm women.
Omg... Hearing lana speak in swedish was so nice. Young Royals is one my favorite series of all time and seeing someone speak swedish always fascinates me. Something about this language is so kind and yet so assertive. Please make videos in Swedish 🥲🤍
The big difference with the past is that people ate those buns or other 'special foods' only during those holidays, or anyhow just a few times per year. Now people live in abundance (created through severe exploitation) and eat those foods on a daily basis /several times per day with dire consequences on the animals and Planet Earth.
In terms of productivity, one thing that ironically works positively for Sweden is the fact that there is not a huge disparity in salaries, partially due to taxes becoming more punitive as you enter higher income brackets. That means that people will be less likely to climb the ranks just to have higher income (since salary does not differ that much) as they do in other countries. In other countries often people who are not intrinsically suited for higher roles (think managerial) end up staying in them due to higher incomes only, not because they enjoy it or they are particularly good at those jobs. Here in Sweden is not unusual for people to try managerial roles and step down after a while, something which would frowned upon in other countries. Thus people are more likely to choose roles that they enjoy more which increases the likelihood of them being productive since they are doing the job for the right reasons.

Lana's Sunday uploads is like church to me. 😢
*the intro
American here, I do not wear shoes to bed. In fact when I get home the first thing I do is takeoff my shoes and sometimes use my inside slippers….
Niksen sounds pretty much like Italian DOLCE FAR NIENTE. Love it!

Hearing you speak Sweden is actually pretty satisfying 😅 I repeat that part of this video a few times lol
Beautiful concepts for living in calm & celebration of life. Thanks for the tips, you’re lovely inside & out.

LANA BLAKELY, WE ARE ONE. WE ARE THE UNIVERSE. WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
Guys I swear Americans DO NOT wear shoes to bed! That is actual insanity and I have no idea why it's like that in the movies 😂
Vi behöver en video på svenska. Du pratar med jättefint flow på engelska, så blev caught ofguard när du pratade SÅ fint på svenska. Vet inte om det är ovanan men damn 😂
Love from Nepal, Lana. Absolutely adore you and your videos!

Another great Swedish word that brings happiness and a sense of well-being: IKEA
I know the secret of the Swedes happiness….. IKEA Swedish meatballs…..
Take a Fitka during work… wow! Unimaginable in America. Just thinking about it makes me 100x happier 😅
One of my Swedish healthy habits is swedish pancakes. Or as you probably call them, pancakes.
Ja, vi vill ha filmer på svenska i framtiden!
Sv: Lagom - Eng: Moderate / Moderately

I just realized I might be Swedish, I'm from Bulgaria, but I live by most of those habits and I didn't even knew.
New subscriber, loving your videos ❤
Keep going Dear 🥰😇
The whole wearing shoes indoors or even in bed is not really a thing in America. At least not in my family and social network.
Would you like to have a coffee in Lagom measure with someone in South Africa in a Fika activity? Doing "Niks" (South African word.)
Yesss I would love for you to make a video in Swedish! 😊
This makes me want to visit Sweden 🇸🇪🥹
good day, live in motion,and love without pain, cause it comes within reasons
Hi I am dutch, I loved your video.
☕.. Fika! 😂😂😂 Vad mysigt ställe! 👍😎😎😎
Thanks for sharing girl ❤
You're so chill lol. :)

I have been to many US states and many countries in europe and I have never, ever gone to someone's house and NOT taken my shoes off. I do love all the small traditions though, and of course, fika.
please recommend places to go in sweden❤
No shoes to bed!! What? We wear socks indoors a lot, some wear slippers, others always wear shoes indoors minus sleep. Depends
I guess the English equivalent to lagom is ‘just right’ ? Like Goldilocks haha
In Bisaya (a Philippine dialect) lagom means something DARK in color 😅
Ģreat video lana❤
Hej lana hur mår du!
LANA BLAKELY HERMOSA MUJER TKM

I'm gonna say something extremely political and controversial, but i hope Sweden preserves its culture.
Preserve its religion and tradition for many many years to come.
❤❤😊😊
Lana, how do you feel about the amount of Muslim migrants currently residing in Sweden?
I can't speak for her, but most of us Swedes are starting to worry about the consequences of mass-migration without any skill requirements.
Try speak Swedish and danish ❤
Hi ! lana what do you do for living?
When someone watch on the phone, words on screen are too small to read...

Would love to have a full Swedish video sometime!
All of these sound very Indian. We have chai time in evenings instead of coffee though(mostly). Everything else is the same.
Her features and voice are very soothing
I work for a Swedish company and fika is one of the best things :) loved all these habit tips~!

Me, an Italian listening the minute 1:09 : 🤨🤨
wanted to say thanks. you inspire and motivate me. i know many others feel the same way. i do hope you happiness that you helped me have.
This is really ignorant but I always have perception of Swedish being blonde with blue eyes. Lana is beautiful naturally without even trying.
Lana you are a dope!!❤🤗
I always love how calming your videos is, I always recommend your channel to my friends. 💓
:')
It looks like just living in Sweden is the secret to great health and happiness 😄 it's so calm, less populated and serene. Wish to visit someday IA.
