As a mom, wife, caretaker, maid, driver, teacher, cook, washing machine and dish washer, and to add to the list of to-do’s, I still work in between the choas. Sometimes I feel too busy and to focus on some things I really want to do becomes a chore on its own. And sometimes, I drop…
When deadlines pile up, kids need collecting, and a mysterious box appears in the hallway, energy does not stand a chance. By the time Babette logged in for her English meeting with Janita, the mood was already clear: this was not a glowing, productive, perfectly balanced kind of day. This was a “tired” day. Not…
She begins most mornings the same way, with coffee. That is the first thing. Not in any grand way, just a cup in her hands, the small heat of it, the feeling that the day can begin properly now. She jokes that she finishes the day with a cocktail and not the other way around,…
There are moments in life when everything seems to accelerate at once—like standing at the start line of a Formula 1 race, engine roaring, lights about to go out. For Maxime, that moment has arrived… and it comes with a Ferrari dinner invitation. Yes, that Ferrari. A Dinner That Could Change Everything “It’s just a…
It began, as many modern meetings do, with a little chaos. Martin was missing. Not metaphorically—literally. Lost somewhere in the digital wilderness, armed with the wrong link, outdated bookmarks, and what can only be described as uncooperative technology. While Janita and Manfred waited (and waited some more), messages flew back and forth. Zoom crashed. Browsers…
I remember this holiday like a film that never really stopped running. From the first moment, there was movement, noise, colour, food, people—always something happening, always something to watch, to taste, to laugh about. We landed in Gran Canaria, and already there you feel it—the air is different, softer, warmer, a little bit salty. It…
In my household, there is simply never a dull moment. You might be rolling your eyes right now, leaning back with your own coffee, and thinking, “What happened now?” It’s a fair question. Life here doesn’t nudge; it usually erupts. Monday mornings are my Everest. I’m not entirely sure why, but I wake up feeling…
Energy, Corruption, and the Quiet Question of Why Bother On a Monday morning in three different parts of the world, three men woke up thinking about energy. Not the kind measured in calories or exercise, but the kind that makes a person care — the force that pushes someone to act, to improve something, to…
I noticed it immediately on Monday morning. I was yawning before the day had even started. My energy was completely down. The strange thing was that only the day before, around three in the afternoon, my energy had been at its highest point of the whole week. We had our first football match of the…
Why the most powerful upgrades in your life may be the smallest ones. In a world obsessed with optimization, productivity hacks, and the perfect morning routine, we often overlook a quieter truth. The most powerful sources of energy are rarely complicated. They are simple. Water.Sunlight.Sleep.Movement. Not exactly revolutionary advice. And yet these four small inputs…
