“Where and how can I achieve results that will make a difference within the next year and a half?”
Current working theme
My active theme is A Time of Tending 🌱
I want to recover from two heavy years of big programs and spend this year valuing continuity over intensity, and resilience over speed.
I want to explore organic growth, letting things evolve in their own time and take their own shape. For this, I want to steward, sow, and foster, rather than directly control growth, across the different areas of my life.
I want to accept unevenness. Some areas will flourish, others will rest.
I want to support what is already trying to grow, instead of constantly introducing new pressure.
I want to practice patience as an active stance, not as waiting, but as ongoing care.
I want to notice early signals of health or neglect and respond gently, before force becomes necessary.
Active Efforts & Interests
Here are some of the things I’m working on right now:
IONITY 🔌 — Since October I’m on the IONITY project — iOS work for Europe’s high-power EV charging network — placed there by my employer appDev.
LLMs & AI Integration — I’m experimenting with LLMs and state-of-the-art tooling to become more productive.
Healthy Routines — A year into the new house, I’m focusing on establishing healthy, stable routines, including morning and evening rituals.
2nd revenue stream 💸 – I’m writing for Scale-Smart Me and The Path to a Productive Life to yield side revenue.
Jago starts Kindergarten 👶 — My son is settling in; I handle the paperwork and our Monday swim lessons, just the two of us.
Meditation 🧘 — Sitting on its own never stuck, so now every run ends with five minutes of it. Stage 3 of 9 on the Culadasa stages is still the target.
A solo year-end retreat — Three days alone in the Black Forest between Christmas and New Year, to review the year and plan the first quarter of 2027.
I use the targets above in combination with quarterly goal-setting.
