Alright, so I’m about to go on a short trip to Barcelona next week. All by myself. No wife or kids in the tow. A workation that ends with a meeting of some entrepreneurial friends on Thursday evening. I simply need to book my train journey and a hotel for two nights. That’s it. Sounds […]
Tracking. That’s an interesting topic. I’ve got a love-hate relationship with it. I love seeing success. I love money coming into my bank account. I love exceeding my own expectations. But I also hate stagnation. Money not coming into the bank account for a few days/weeks/months. Nothing happening. No progress. Failing my goals. At some […]
So last night, just after I wrote my daily blog entry I’m browsing YouTube and one of my suggested videos to watch is an old episode of Dragon’s Den. Judging by Peter Jones’ face it must have been an episode from at least 10 years ago 🙂 Needless to say that the lady asking for […]
When you google “inbox 0” you get like a billion results telling you how to achieve the magical Inbox 0. Zero, zilch, nada emails in your email inbox. Wow! I’ve been there a few times in my life. Most recently in the first half of last year. Since then I had the To Do list […]
Is it just me, or is it impossible to concentrate these days? Back in the day, when I was a kid, living with my parents and going to school, I would easily knock out a new web project in a weekend. In fact, my online game Insel-Monarchie took me a bit more than a weekend […]

Nature is something interesting. We seem to all need it to recharge but we end up destroying it in order to make space for cities and concrete jungles. And don’t take me wrong. I love cities. Whether it’s the craziness of Bangkok, the beautiful Old Town of Vilnius or my favourite city in the world, […]
A few days ago, as I was walking with my son in the carrier along the beach, I listened to episode 371 of The Tim Ferriss Show – two and a half hours of Tim and his guest Ramit Sethi talking about automation, finances, processes, negotiation tactics and much more. For the first 15+ years […]
Most people come up with a list of New Year’s resolutions at some point in their lives. Few stick to them. But why? One reason could be that at the end of the year we just dream too big and are too ambitious about what we want to achieve in the next 365 days. It’s […]
Alright. It’s a new year and we’re all supposed to have some sort of list of New Year’s Resolutions that we will never end up doing. According to Inc., some 80% of people end up failing on their resolutions sooner or later. In recent years the amount of blog posts I’ve come across that mention […]
