I started writing this post yesterday, until I realised that it’s a Sunday and that means it was time for my weekly review. Yesterday, I had an argument with my 3-year old daughter. I had to take care of both my kids, my 3-year old daughter and my 2-month old son. When I finally had […]

The Weekly Review #3
I almost forgot about my weekly review. I was half-way through my daily post with the title “Perspective” before I realised that it’s Sunday and that means it’s time for my weekly review. That in itself shows how much I still struggle with planning and reviewing my weeks. And that can definitely be seen in […]
Today we went for a family hike to the same place we’ve been a couple of weeks ago. Out of the blue my wife asked me “What three things do you love most about yourself?”. I wasn’t able to answer her. There’s nothing I actually love about myself. At least I wasn’t able to pin-point […]
Barcelona Trip
I’ve been in Barcelona from Wednesday, the 15th of January, until Friday, the 17th of January. On Wednesday evening I was invited to a social event run by an entrepreneur in the Amazon space. He rented out the rooftop bar of The Barcelona Edition luxury hotel. The views over Barcelona from the rooftop were magnificent […]
10,000 Steps
So last week I got my new Fitbit. I started wearing it exactly a week ago and after a few days I thought something is really off. A few years ago, when I got my first Fitbit, I often struggled to get those magic 10,000 daily steps. If I remember correctly, I would probably hit […]
Train rides
I love train rides. They are not only environmentally friendly and a bit nostalgic, but they also free up my mind. I love reading, working or just relaxing on a nice train ride. Having a coffee or a meal while enjoying the landscape or just observing other train passengers. Today I’ve done the route Valencia […]
Time Apart
When you google for the term “time apart” you straight away get bombarded with headlines such as “Can time apart strengthen your relationship?” and “Reasons why you and your partner need time apart”. Tomorrow I’m going to catch the train from Valencia to Barcelona for a 3-day trip apart from the family. On Wednesday and […]
Alcohol / Dry January
Yep, Dry January is apparently a thing. So is Sober October. Back in the day you would just decide to cut out alcohol for a month and that’s it. Nowadays you need to give your challenge a funny name that rhymes with the month when you do the challenge. Alright, fine by me if it […]
The Weekly Review #2
Alright, so kudos where kudos are due. I’m extremely tired after putting my daughter to sleep and all I wanted to do is stay in bed and sleep until tomorrow morning. But there’s that daily blog post I’ve got to write. So out of bed and onto the laptop! Last Sunday was the first weekly […]
School / 1%
Most days I just sit down in the evening and I’ve got a few ideas for topics in my head. Normally the blog posts are directly related to things that happened to me on that day or that affected that specific day. Today I thought quite early about the topic of Schools and Education as […]
