As you may have noticed, I’ve had a blog challenge to write 100 blog posts every day for 100 days. The reason I started with the challenge was that I wanted to create a habit of blogging every day. I want to get better at writing and expressing myself in words and wanted to get over the threshold …

A few months ago I came across an article that made me reflect on how often I drink alcohol. I drink far less now than I did before but realized that I haven’t had a break without alcohol for more than 2 weeks max in 10 years. Since I turned 18-19 I’ve been drinking 2-6 times a month.

Oops, this became a very long post and a real trip down memory lane for me. If you want practical tips on speaking in public, you can scroll down to the last part of the text. Sorry, but like I said, I have promised myself to press publish.

The reason for that is that you get well paid in a short time while you can find out what you do best, learn to be effective and to estimate your time. Among …

Vacation, time for reflection.

Time off.

Since I started running my own business it hasn’t been many days I’ve had time off. Last two years I have taken the time to a few weeks of vacation. It’s healthy.
