Oh, waking up early... I like to think most people have love-hate relationships with this concept. So this time, I'm here to share with you how waking up early changed my life and why I enjoy it big time. (For…
We're growing into a whole new obsession these days - to get back our time, to optimize our productivity, to get done more in less time. In this post, I'm here to talk about working less and playing more -…
Let me start with a disclosure: my closet is not nearly minimalistic, just yet, and I'm just aiming for the so-called capsule wardrobe. But when else if not now to write minimalism tips for closet decluttering for those who, just…

If there's any post that comes truly, deeply from my heart then this is it, totally! I have decided to work on this post idea that just fell on my head out of nowhere on the busiest day of this week and maybe even the whole month. It's all devoted to a very simple but truly complicated question: how to get things done when you have no time?
I've been working ever since I started freelancing. Literally. For most of the days: every day, most of the hours and way too many of them.

So this is the story about how vacation made me love my work again!

Chances are - you have left yourself (your true-self) somewhere there... behind.
