The Muddy 30 Days Challenge – First Update
5 days ago I started a 30 days challenge. Usually, I’ll share the details about what this challenge is, but this time it’s a bit more private, so I can only tell you that it consists of a series of actions I have to perform each day, and a series of actions I decided to [...]
How Do You Spend Your Time?
As I started to write this, I realized I made an error in the title of the article: you can’t really spend time. It’s not like money. It’s not renewable. If you get out of money, you can make some more. Or, if you’re a national bank, you print more. Ultimately, money is just a [...]
And Then, There’s The Risk
I think every child birth facility should have a big sign telling “Biohazard”. Because there’s a huge risk of dying if you come to life. There’s a huge risk of failing if you try. There’s a huge risk of being hurt if you truly love. The only way to be safe is to not exist [...]
Crisis Management – The Pacifier Model
If you have kids, you know what a pacifier is. If you don’t have kids, chances that you do know what a pacifier is are still pretty high, because you may already have used one as a child. But if you don’t know what a pacifier is, I’m gonna tell you anyway: it’s a rubber, [...]
Open Connect – 14 Events Later
I hate being stuck. I hate being stuck in traffic, I hate being stuck in a job (or a project) I don’t like and, most of all, I hate being stuck in an unfulfilling relationship. Yet, that’s what happened during the last years. Well, almost all of them. I was stuck in a personal situation [...]
Buffer Overflow
One of the many uses I give to astrology is that of a social lubricant. Every time when there’s some awkward silence around the table, I pull out my iPhone and start by candidly asking around: “So, what’s your sign?”. Then, you know, one thing leads to another, and in like 5 minutes everybody is [...]
People Are Their Stories
When I was younger I used to do a – rather strange, I agree – social exercise: every morning, on my way to the University, in the subway, I tried to guess what other people are doing. Like who they really are, what they do for a living, if they’re married or not, if they [...]
Starting To Open Connect
Being a digital nomad is cool. Like, really cool. Probably the nicest benefit of it is that I get to work from wherever I want (provided that they have WiFi or at least a decent 3G coverage). During the last 6 months I worked from a specific location in Bucharest (where I live for the [...]
The Copy Paste Blues
If you google this phrase: “100 Ways To Live A Better Life” you will get a lot of results. Around 92.000.000, to be more precise. The first hit would be a link to an article (with the same title) on this very blog. Kinda nice, to be honest. I was surprised, though, to find a [...]
So Far Apart
Ever being blocked in a store by a person staying right between the shelves? I mean, there’s roughly 1 meter between the shelves, and that guy, or woman is looking at something, not even knowing that you’re there. You look at her (or his) back and, without any way to get ahead, you start to [...]
33 Ways To Feel Better
Every once in a while I feel the urge of writing one of these huge lists. The last one was written almost a year ago, so you can understand my eagerness. But I can’t write something that big without a very specific topic, preferably one that I usually enjoy. So, since feeling well was one [...]
