Just read: 10 Minutes is 1% of Your Day 🔗
Quite amazing when you see it like that. The first thing that comes to mind is how much we waste on doing “nothing”. But if you flip the perspective — imagine how much we could accomplish by devoting just a couple of percent to it each day. (via Sylvia)
Trying to find the perfect way to blog… again. This time it felt right — until it didn’t. A few thoughts on boredom, tweaks, and why I keep falling for the same idea trap.
I’ve added an option to subscribe to my blog via email. You’ll find the form down in the footer. If you sign up, you’ll get the longer posts straight to your inbox. No notes, no photo posts — just the ones where I ramble a bit more and try to make sense of things (and hardly ever succeed). If you prefer everything, RSS or Mastodon is still the way to go.
Spotted during a house inspection this week: the homeowner had replaced the garden gnomes with his own handmade Yoda figurines. Much to learn from his garden, we have. 🍀📷
Today’s client talked non-stop, leaving no room for me to do my job properly. It got me thinking about how much value people miss when they don’t stop and listen.
A rare afternoon off got me thinking about time, creativity, and why I actually blog more when I have less time. Turns out, limits might be the secret sauce.
I’ve got a question for you. My old beauty of a laptop is very close to giving up completely 😔 I’m thinking about replacing it with a MacBook Air 13", but at the same time, I really like the idea of just using an iPad. Mostly for blogging and basic HTML/CSS stuff. Has anyone tried that setup? ✍️
An unusual house inspection got me thinking about routines, resistance, and why blogging — like most things — gets easier the more we do it.
I spotted this beautiful creation on my way to today’s first client — who hadn’t even noticed it. Funny, or maybe a bit sad, how much we miss when we’re caught up in our thoughts, our phones, or whatever else. There’s so much beauty around us, if we just remember to look up and take it in. 😍📷
The heart of Stockholm, literally. This time of year, the city dresses up in its summer clothes. Streets bloom with decorations, and some are even closed to traffic so people can stroll, pause and enjoy. 🌸🦋📷
Some days the attic feels like a sauna, but I still climb up there — because it’s what I do. This post is a reflection on discipline, resistance, and why the easiest choice isn’t always the right one.
Not only do we get rainbow crossings this time of year in Sweden, we also get the famous and delicious prinsesstårta (princess cake), all dressed up with the rainbow flag. Yummy! 🌈📷
If there’s any Micro.blog plug-in creator out there looking for ideas, I’d love to see a plug-in that automatically creates OG images. Something like what Good Enough did with Pika would be awesome.
I listened to an interview with a Swedish baking star and it got me thinking about how joy and passion are the real keys to success. Maybe the question isn’t “Will this work?” but “Does this light me up?”
Finished reading: Wild and Crazy Guys by Nick de Semlyen 📚
The stories totally live up to the title of the book. It’s a crazy ride! Packed with fun trivia and all kinds of behind-the-scenes stuff, but also quite a bit of tragedy. Sadly, comedy and tragedy often go hand in hand. Anyway, a great read!
In Tyresö, Sweden this time of year, the pedestrian crossings come to life in the colors of the rainbow. 🌈😍📷
I spotted this Swedish “rondellhund” (roundabout dog) the other day. “Kram” means hug in Swedish — and that’s exactly what I want to send your way. Wishing you a wonderful weekend! 🤗📷
Had a job out in the archipelago the other day and ended up calling instead of texting the person who booked it. Just a little reminder that sometimes, a quick call can save a lot of misunderstanding — tone matters more than we think.
Stumbled upon a beautiful car today that looked a lot like the one I spotted the other day. Different brand and year, though. 🚘📷
I was pretty sure I wouldn’t be a fan of iOS 26. But after giving the public beta a spin for about an hour, I have to admit — I actually like it. Some neat and welcome changes in there! 📱✍️
