5B In what ways could adopting 'Lagom' (not too little, not too much) affect your personal and student life? by Katherine Ko

Lagom could transform my work-life balance by setting healthy boundaries. Instead of burning out with overtime or underperforming, I'd find the 'just right' commitment level—finishing marking efficiently while preserving energy for personal growth and relationships outside Marymount.

Adopting Lagom in consumption habits would reduce waste and save money. Rather than excessive shopping or extreme minimalism, I'd purchase thoughtfully—buying quality items I genuinely need, helping both my finances and environmental impact in Hong Kong's consumerist culture.

Lagom would reshape my digital habits. Instead of social media addiction or complete disconnection, I'd engage moderately—staying updated while protecting mental health. This balanced approach would enhance both my focus and social connections.

Students write a post about the life aspects you want to balance, inspired by Lagom philosophy. Use a scale metaphor to discuss what 'just right' means in your own cultural context.

This scent reminds me of reading in a library and taking in the smell of new books. It’s not heavy like other flower-scented essential oil, but the smell does not go unnoticed.

I like the mix of grapefruit and Patchouli cent, this mixture reminds me of a sense of summer, relaxing on the beach and having some refreshing goodies

This scent reminds of a flower field, and the joy and calmness that comes with frolicking in the field.
