This is the Way

By the way, I’ve just been struggling through a moderate to severe depressive episode.

Look, that’s how honest I am on the internet, where everyone can read along.

Have a nice weekend, everyone.

Nice, very nice, what my new boss has put in my head. Just do it! Ingenious, actually. In every respect.

For example, looking for a note taking tool that I really like. I already found it and it costs $15 a month. That’s really hefty. But it’s the tool that resonates with me.

I’ve invested a few hours to find a good cheap or free alternative, but none of them match what I have in mind, even if they are close.

So, let’s get back to the saying. Just do it! I’ll stick with reflect.app for now. I’ll pay the money. We’ll see after a year if it was really good or stupid. But spending even more time on researching other tools seems even more stupid to me than paying 15 dollars and being happy for now.

Just do it!

Yes, I am! You’re right. I’m going to do some other stuff just like that! I think this change to my new position has somehow changed something in me. Or maybe I made the change because something had already changed before. Either way - great going. So keep up the good work.

Just do it. I will learn from mistakes. And who knows, maybe nothing will be a mistake?

So, congratulations to me and everyone else. This post is an unfortunate mix of tech and life wisdom.

But while we’re at it.

Life is change.

Again, that’s what a very wise person told me recently. And so far, many changes in my life have been good.

Get out of your comfort zone and just do it.

Just do it!

Are you very society-driven or rather open to everything that is somehow different?

I ordered the wrong thing at the drive-in earlier.

I wanted 2 burgers 🍔🍔.

In the end I had 3 burgers 🍔🍔🍔 + fries 🍟 + Coke 🥤.

And now I feel sick. 🤢

Just had a training on a platform for training.

Ah, thank you.

An electrician just spent a long time looking around in the back of his trousers (in his pants). A very long time. Then he took his hand out, smelled it, was satisfied and went inside the house that is being built, which I can see from my home office window.

Without words.

Meine Füße sind kalt.

My dinner today. It was just too good.

(The gummy bears were unfortunately not mine.)

I called the dermatologist: I need an appointment.

Answer: With pleasure. In September.

• I missed the Earth Photo Post today. 😲
• I should go to bed. Urgently. But I’m not tired. 🙄

Perhaps this nocturnal event was responsible (it surely wasn’t) for me feeling extremely down today and then attending many important meetings and an incident - it doesn’t work.

Do you know when you don’t like yourself? I don’t like not liking myself.

I need to lose weight.

Things that I know, that I do nothing about and that I rarely say.

Maifeuer. Klein aber schön. ☺️

I played a little bit with my new guitar today. That was nice. Even with the nylon strings, my fingers hurt, but not nearly as much as with my acoustic guitar. Now it’s time to keep at it! 🎸 🎵

I’m using Day One as my diary from now on. I hope for the return of the web version. Insider tip: Premium completed via the Google Play Store is 10 euros cheaper than via the Apple App Store.

Today I had a full day workshop with my manager colleagues and my new boss, including dinner. It was brilliant. And I feel absolutely comfortable there. I think it was the right decision, I feel totally in good hands there. I think that’s exactly what I was missing in my (working) life.

But.

I am still afraid. Maybe I won’t perform as well as expected. Maybe I’m still not the right person for it. Maybe I’ll disappoint someone.

Stupid really, since I’ve mastered two tough rounds of interviews, but still…

It is difficult - very difficult - or even impossible to find good socks that don’t wear through immediately. Black socks. Business socks. All crap. 🙄

I was reading stones for several hours today. No idea if this is called in all languages. Anyway, I’m totally knackered.

Just ordered. 🎸
