A while back, I was working on a criminal case from the 90s where someone disguised their car radio so it looked like nothing more than a few loose wires coming out of empty space (that had been long before the front panels became removable; if that doesn’t tell you much, it was very long...
Let me tell you a story about recruitment. Once upon a time, when a job ad was posted, one had to wait a few weeks until there were enough resumes to start the interviews. But over the years, the funnel got filled quicker and quicker. At some point, the number of resumes coming in was...
I take pictures. And since you’re here on the website, you likely already know that; I doubt this statement can come as a surprise. What may surprise you, though, if you haven’t read the About Me section or if you haven’t looked carefully at the pictures, is that they are mostly analogue. And the process...
Gifts are one of the hardest things in life to get right. We either struggle to find the right one or to react the right way. And then, there is also the minimalist movement – that “no more stuff” approach (myself included) – because getting more “stuff” doesn’t make us feel more loved. So, as...
Many years ago, I used to do jazz dance. It’s a form of modern dance where some moves are similar to ballet – turns, pirouettes, and so on. One of the skills you need for it is balance. But balance isn’t just about keeping your core muscles strong. It’s also about how every part of...
The (self-)help community promises you that you can be anyone you like and any way you like. That the new version of you is waiting just around the corner. And that if you run fast enough, you will bump into each other so hard that you will merge into a new you. But what if...
I hate the word “minimalism”. It’s been used and abused and associated with empty spaces and wearing only one type of single-colour t-shirt. In fact, some people really do go as far as having a single sweater and then suffering when having it mended. On the other hand, there are millions of people focusing on...
Knowing who you are guarantees lots of things. But it doesn’t guarantee one, knowing what you like and want. It may seem so obvious and so easy. After all, knowing what one enjoys and dislikes is something we do from the moment we are born, right? Actually, it’s not that simple. Some of us have...
A family member of mine has recently told me a story of a lady who used to spend her days in the shop she owned, no matter if it was a Monday, weekend, or public holiday. Until one day she decided to change her life completely. She’d sold the shop, got divorced, and moved to...
Our perception is skewed. It’s the same as it is with winning the lottery – you see only those who won, not those who did not, so you think that winning is much more probable than it actually is. Similarly, what we hear and see about love is only what the pop culture (or even...
Which energy-sapping emotion do you indulge in most? Is it sadness, frustration, anger, despair, self-pity, jealousy, worry? Unshakable, Tony Robbins I could actually finish it here, just with the question, since it’s smart enough. But let me show you something… We have default states of our minds, states that we somehow get back to no...
