Let’s get one thing straight: Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo are not lazy. The two best friends and Giggly Squad podcast co-hosts have, in recent years, sold out Radio City Music Hall twice, won Podcast of the Year at the 2026 iHeart Podcast Awards, authored a New York Times bestselling book, and just announced a

很多讀者問我：「作為一個在職媽媽，如何安排繁重工作、並兼顧瑣碎的家庭生活？」 對我來說，作為一個現代女性，既能上班工作，又能生兒育女、照顧孩子，兩件事都是我喜歡的，覺得非常幸福！對於實際上如何在上班的同時令家庭運作暢順，並讓時間的使用得到「最大化」，其中一樣我想分享的，就是編寫「家庭時間表」。 由於我做醫生的工作，每個月輪班的日子時間都不同，所以每次想放假，即使只放半天，都要在一個月甚至多個月之前跟同事協定；除非生病或意外，否則很少會臨時請假。而部門亦會在每月中期編定下一個月的時間表；萬一需要調動，就趁早提出。 因此我的家庭也是這樣運作。自從有小孩子之後，我都會提早編好下個月的時間表，例如四月中會寫好五月的時間表，讓兩個女兒和工人姐姐知道以後每天會發生甚麼事。我把時間表列印出來，貼在雪櫃門上。誰哪天要補習、星期六有活動、工人放假、誰去朋友的家、誰要考試、誰哪天學校提早放學、我哪天會外出吃飯等等，都會在超過一個月之前計劃好。 這個做法好處是大家互相配合，並把時間的價值最大化。其次，對於年紀小的孩子，預先知道未來幾日的行程，會有較高的安全感和秩序感。但壞處是「缺乏彈性」。如果有朋友臨時約我們外出吃飯或活動，多數無法出席。 也有些家庭，去旅行是非常即興的；甚至明天開始就是復活節假期，他們仍未決定去哪兒，或者正在等待一些廉價機票或酒店優惠；我家絕對做不到。如果我們要去旅行，可能要提早幾個月前準備，應變和改動的能力比較低。 編寫家庭時間表，眨眼間原來已經十多年了！電腦上的檔案，記載着每個月我們一家繁忙的日程。隨着孩子成長，希望能夠慢慢提升靈活度，增加參與即興活動，令生活更加豐富多采。 Source link

這個復活節與清明的長周末假期，原定計畫在阿曼（Oman）度過，卻因中東戰火而告吹。 行程改為網上授課交流後，也因此可以享受一個留港悠閒短假期，遂應友人之邀，一嘗匹克球（Pickleball）的滋味。 Pickleball是一種趣味十足的「三不像」運動：球場規格取自羽毛球，球網高度參考網球，球拍則像加大號乒乓球拍，卻配上網球拍的握柄。最獨特的，是那個布滿小孔的膠球。玩起來，既像在打慢板網球，也像在地面打乒乓球。這運動予人最大的滿足感，是不難把球送回對方球場，一板來一板往，打得不亦樂乎。 匹克球其實不是新玩意，它誕生於一九六五年的美國華盛頓州，據說當年是由Joel Pritchard與家人朋友在百無聊賴之際，隨手拼湊器材發明出來的遊戲。初時只在美國西岸較流行，主要參與者是退休人士，因遊戲易上手，體力消耗亦可隨心調整。直到九十年代，這項運動才慢慢被廣泛接受；二○二○年後更是爆紅，熱潮席捲全球。 不難愛上這項運動，基本上毋須專業訓練，拿起球拍便很自然把球送前，若有點網球根底更易上手，再糅合乒乓球的上、下旋技巧，便能添上變化。當然，這只是基本入門動作，要晉身高手行列絕非易事，因勝敗關鍵在於網前截擊（Volley）能力，那極其考驗眼明手快與細膩技術。 幸好醫生天生不求進取，只求快樂。與幾位朋友在場上板來板往、哈哈大笑兩小時，賽後再去喝杯凍咖啡，便已不亦樂乎地消磨一個早上。 Source link

Consumer behavior in health and lifestyle categories is shifting toward products that reflect broader definitions of well-being.

武漢漢口江灘的一方沃土，向來是晨運聖地。各色人等雲集，當中不乏愛寵物人士，帶着寶貝毛孩舒展筋骨，有趣的是，近期留意到一個極具中國特色的新景象，出現不少「無毛毛孩」。 二〇二六年春晚最矚目的節目，莫過於機械人靈活地操演功夫、翻觔斗，相比去年的「機械人大媽舞」再勝一籌。這不難令人感覺到，機械人走進家庭、成為生活一部分已是指日可待。而江灘上那些「無毛毛孩」，便是這項科技的先鋒部隊（見圖），它那活潑蹦跳樣也很可愛，惟「無毛毛孩」摸上去，總覺缺乏點溫暖感。 現今，中國已湧現如Unitree（宇樹）、Agibot（智元）、Ubtech（優必選）等多家頂尖機械人企業。在國策扶持下，它們已在各範圍大展拳腳，相對於走得較前的工業、軍工業應用，二〇二五年起，人形機械人（Humanoid Robot）開始走入民生服務。隨着人口老化、年輕勞動力短缺，家務助理解決方案將成為未來的「人力」中堅。 當機械人不僅擁有強大「體力」，更能接通雲端AI獲取無限「智力」，有「力」也有「智」時，潛在的危機不容小覷。若缺乏及時監管，那種如科幻小說般、擁有獨立思想的機械人群，或許真會成為人類威脅。 或許是醫生想多了。說不定在未來，Humanoid Robot會是人類的好朋友、好夥伴，可以訂購個溫柔、智慧兼美麗的Robot做老婆。厭煩？﹗隨手熄機便樂得清靜，多開心。 ▲ （專欄作家提供） Source link

For years, health has often been treated as reactionary, something we think about only when problems arise. But across the UK, that mindset is changing and increasingly, people are taking a proactive approach to their wellbeing. This shift isn’t happening in isolation. It reflects a broader cultural movement where health is woven into daily life.

「Can I be Cured？」這是癌症病人最常提出的問題。 在中文語境中，它會以不同形式出現：「有得醫嗎？」「可以治癒嗎？」「醫生，我會很快死嗎？」患者都希望醫生即時給予決斷性答案。 早前受邀至里斯本著名的Champalimaud Clinical Centre發表主題演講，題目極具挑戰性：「治癒肺癌：現況與未來」（Cure of Lung Cancer : Present and Future），當然不可能把四十分鐘的演說濃縮成五百字，只談：「Cure」為何物。 根據字源學，Cure源自拉丁文Cura，意指「關懷」（Care），直至中世紀英語才採納Cure這詞，當年意思是「恢復健康」（Restore health to normal state），但要知道中世紀人類並未知道癌症為何物，所謂「Cancer Cure」（癌症治癒）的現代概念，是後來醫學發展的產物。 在病人眼中，Cure往往被簡化為：治療後所有的掃描與驗血都找不到腫瘤。然而，這是最普遍、也最易被誤解的定義。任何一位腫瘤科醫生都清楚知道，現今科技尚無法偵測肉眼看不見的微量癌細胞，掃描結果「一切正常」並不等同於治癒，因為這定義缺乏了「時間性」。若要包括時間維度，便惟有靠統計學，一般會採用Kaplan-Meier Survival Curve（存活曲綫）來估算復發機率。當曲綫在多年後開始平走時，復發風險降至極低，醫學上才勉強被定義為Cure或Statistical Cure。 故此，最本事的醫生也不能給予百份百的保證，只能說統計學上很大機會不復發，既無絕對，也不必強求絕對，只求最高水平的治療及最大程度的關懷，便能得到最高機會。 反正，Cure本身就是關懷！ Source link
