What am I doing now?

The important stuff in my life

The purpose of this page is to remind me of what’s important in my life, when things don’t go as planned. These are things I want to do from the perspective of different roles I play in this world.

As a father:

  • Spent quality time with kids every day
  • Take them out for a whole weekend every few months

As a husband

  • Help my wife more with everything :)
  • Spent quality time with her (ideally go out for breakfast once a week)

As a friend

  • Go out for a beer / lunch with my friends every 2-3 weeks

As a professional

  • Have a good feeling from work without the need to over-work
  • Work on sharing knowledge
    • eg. write a blog post at least once a month
    • the goal is to practice for:
    • writing a public blog posts regularly
    • giving a speech at technical conference
    • potentially write a technical book later
  • Focus on the Breadth of Technical Knowledge (in order to become a software architect)

As a musician

  • Practice guitar regularly
  • Participate in the weekly rehearsals with rock-metal band Angel Saxx
  • Be ready for the first concert when things will reopen (September the 9th 2021)

My personal challenges

  • The 5am Club

    • inspired by the book “The 5am Club” and in order to enable more of the above, I’m waking up at 5am on work days and starting the day with myself

  • practice german on Duolingo every day

  • learning something every working day

    • reading a chapter of a book/technical article
    • watching a talk
    • reading a blink on blinkist

  • work on my personal technology radar once a week
