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.
Fungus and flow
An unusual house inspection got me thinking about routines, resistance, and why blogging — like most things — gets easier the more we do it.
Turning resistance into reward
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.
Passion as the recipe for success
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?”
Text or talk?
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.
Can't please them all
Did a routine inspection, gave a thumbs up and explained everything clearly to the client — still got a thumbs-down back from the client. Oh well, can’t please everyone.
What keeps us going
I met a 99-year-old client who was full of energy, and it got me thinking — maybe the secret to a long life isn’t about what we do, but that we keep doing what we love.
It’s not wrong, it’s life
Life rarely gives us a week without challenges — and that’s not wrong. Accepting the ups and downs without judgment can make things a little easier to handle.
