Hey Reader, Do you agree with me when I say that most people are horrible at predicting what their lives will look like in the future? It's mostly because they constantly lie to themselves to postpone activities that matter. They say things like, "I'll exercise more when work is less busy" or "I'll start writing when I have more time." But the truth is that life is always busy, and if you really care about something, you have to make time for it. No matter if it's a relationship, hobby, or important responsibility. We often postpone things that matter, thinking that it'll be easier to take care of them later. But later never arrives because in a week, month, or year from now, you'll be equally busy. The harsh truth about life is that most of us are busy doing things that don't really matter. And when we're done taking care of all the busy stuff, we have no time or energy left for the things that truly matter - our health, friends, family, and goals. This is your mid-year reminder to stop relying on the future, Reader. Remind yourself of all the good intentions and goals you've set at the beginning of this year: Have you been able to spend a fair amount of time and energy on the things that truly matter to you?

Hey Reader, I see it all the time: Creators who have just started to publish their work but are already comparing themselves to people who are 100 steps ahead. And I get it. It’s easy to look at viral posts by someone who’s been writing online for years and wonder why your content isn’t getting the same traction. But let me zoom out and give you some perspective here: I've been writing online since 2018. This has been my "full-time job" since 2020. I’ve spent thousands of hours refining my...

Hey Reader, I'm writing this email full of fresh energy because we've been enjoying a lot of sunshine here in Vienna over the past week. It already feels like spring - perfect for hikes, long walks, and slow moments: But there's one more thing I like to do when spring is around the corner.. I repot my plants! So I spent Sunday morning giving many of my babies new soil, a larger pot, and a cleansing shower. I don't know much about plants, but I love taking care of them to make sure they have...
