Steady, consistent growth in small ways, every day.
Aw man. I've been musing. I've been pondering. To the ends of the Earth and back. And we all know the Earth's a circle, with no "end" — so, you know, I'm technically still musing and pondering... Anyway. This is just a dump. Of what's on my mind. No order, no editing, nothing. Just my… Continue reading Just things I’ve been thinking about. That’s it. That’s the post.
I've been fostering kittens for the past month. I started with three, and two have already been adopted. The last one - a female I've named Kali - is still with me. She is very cute. They were an unintended litter, and the owner couldn't afford to keep them. So, I offered my flat as… Continue reading Life lessons I’ve learned (so far) from fostering kittens 🐱
A question I often get asked is: How do you get so much done? The short answer is: I make the time. There is a longer answer as well, and that’s what I wanted to unpack in this blog post.

We’re often told: “Don’t do too much at once, focus on one thing." But I think it’s an incomplete way of seeing things. I’d argue that it’s not about how much you do at once; rather, it’s where you place your stakes that matters.

We often tell ourselves to spend as much of our time doing things that push us towards our goals, and as little time as possible on things that don’t. The irony, however, is that by being so cautious to not climb the wrong mountain, we hesitate to climb any mountains at all.
Grit driven by passion is more enduring than grit for the sake of perseverance. Here's how I'm replacing 'hard work' with 'inspired work.'
When life gets stressful - and it does - our bodies respond. It's part of our biology: If we feel threatened, hormones get released into our body and our sympathetic nervous system kicks in. Digestion slows down, and more blood goes to our muscles. Once the danger passes, our parasympathetic nervous system takes over and… Continue reading Emotional equilibrium: Putting daily focus into what matters most
In order to get better at all the things I'd like to master, I have had to figure out how to squeeze in as much as I can, in small ways, that compound over time - and that's what this blog is all about. Welcome to my cheatsheet. Here's to optimising learning, and baking it into your routine every day.
