FIELD NOTES.
FIELD NOTES.
Observations, not advice.
I write about what I notice—in coaching, in nature, in everyday life.
From Italy, where I live now. To Wales, my first landscape. From London, where I spent two decades working and teaching. Across Europe and China, where work has often taken me.
Notes—not to do more—but a more universal kind of ‘note-to-self’.
Field Note #89 🗓️ Posted: June 2025
When work is yours, is it really work… or just play you get to call productive?
For others, hard is an obligation. For yourself, it’s forward motion.
Field Note #87 🗓️ Posted: June 2025
When work is yours, is it really work… or just play you get to call productive?
For others, hard is an obligation. For yourself, it’s forward motion.
Field Note #85 🗓️ Posted: June 2025
Building for others? Simple.
Building for myself? Now that’s a creative mess.
Clients get structure; my own brand gets freeform chaos—maybe that’s where the magic is.
Last day before sabbatical. Pause, then onward.
Field Note #83 🗓️ Posted: May 2025
My studio whiteboard is a graveyard for half-finished notes and reminders I never follow.
But the best stuff? Always the scribbles my daughter leaves behind:
“Stay weird, bro.”
She’s right—the odd notes are the ones that stick.
Field Note #81 🗓️ Posted: May 2025
There’s always a script running in the background—the urge to sound clear, to hold the space “just right.”
But clarity doesn’t show up on cue; it arrives when you drop the rehearsal and let presence take over.
The real magic? It happens when you’re done performing.
Unscripted is enough.
Field Note #79 🗓️ Posted: Feb 2025
Posting isn’t always about performance. Sometimes, it’s just a way to think out loud.
Not for reach. For refinement.
If the ROI is clarity—not clicks—then maybe the post already did its job.
Be visible if it helps. Be clear either way.
Field Note #77 🗓️ Posted: Feb 2025
What matters most is what happens when no one’s watching.
Culture isn’t built on mission statements or public posts, but in the daily, quiet habits and choices no one sees.
The real question: Do our actions match our words when there’s no audience?
What you do in the background is what truly builds the future.
Field Note #75 🗓️ Posted: Feb 2025
Are we there yet?
Nope—there’s always another horizon.
The closer you get, the further it moves.
Growth isn’t about arriving. It’s about being fully here, building as you go.
Forward’s the only real direction.
Field Note #71 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Who says you have to stay on the road you’re on?
Progress is picking your own path—not just following the well-worn one.
Pause, choose, go your own way.
Field Note #73 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
I used to chase better questions—clever, sharp, impressive.
But coaching changed when I stopped trying to lead, and started asking less.
Clean questions—no agenda, no assumptions—just space.
Turns out, space does the real work.
Field Note #69 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Stepping away from social media wasn’t about disconnecting—it was a reconnection to what matters: family, stillness, clarity, the sky.
The noise and distractions are still there, but they’re not in charge anymore.
Turns out, clarity comes in the pauses—reminding me where to focus and what to build on next.
See what really matters, one pause at a time.
Field Note #67 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Stop chasing “right”—just show up. Presence always beats perfection.
Growth happens in the messy middle—one imperfect step at a time.
Here’s to learning by doing (awkward bits and all).
Field Note #65 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Experience isn’t just collected—it’s lived, in real time.
Coaching works best when you bring your full, imperfect self: intuition, tools, practice—and a little courage to let it all blend.
Growth isn’t rote, it’s bold, lived, and always a bit messy.
Bring all of you, let the tools help, and see what shape emerges.
Field Note #63 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Sometimes it’s the stuff we don’t “get” that changes us most.
Turns out, the mystery is the magic—art, life, and all the odd bits in between.
Being unsettled is just another way of moving forward.
Confused? Perfect. That’s where growth hides.
Field Note #61 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Stripped it back this week: curiosity over competency.
Turns out, curiosity is the spark for connection, creativity, and great coaching—every time.
Skills grow with practice, but curiosity keeps you present.
Apply liberally, repeat forever.
Here’s to curiosity—the ultimate starting point for everything.
Field Note #59 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Day 4,832: Waiting for motivation? Spoiler: it rarely shows up.
Showed up to write anyway—full of doubt, zero inspiration.
Turns out, strategy beats motivation every time: start before you feel ready, momentum follows.
Progress is about acting, not waiting for the spark.
The best plan is the one you’ll actually do—especially when it’s yours.
Field Note #57 🗓️ Posted: October 2024
Are big goals overrated? Maybe.
Turns out, the real magic is in the micro-moves—tiny, daily shifts that add up to real change.
Ambition is fun, but consistency does the heavy lifting.
Small steps, every day. That’s where the good stuff grows.
Field Note #55 🗓️ Posted: October 2024
Overthinking = inertia.
I waited for the “perfect” moment. Nothing happened.
Started doing, things shifted.
Action beats analysis—every time.
Here’s to one small move at a time.
Field Note #53 🗓️ Posted: October 2024
Novelty is fun—but it’s the steady, unglamorous shifts that actually move you.
Trying new hacks can be a great distraction from the deeper changes you’re avoiding.
Real growth? It sneaks in when you stick with what matters, not what’s shiny.
Here’s to quiet progress, your way and mine.
Field Note #51 🗓️ Posted: September 2024
Told my kids the little things matter—like making your bed.
Action sparks intention, intention sharpens focus, and focus quietly shapes the future.
Stopped talking, started following their lead. Real growth, one shift at a time.
Field Note #49 🗓️ Posted: September 2024
Want more flow? Try switching your speed on purpose. Fast for energy. Slow for depth. Awkward pauses for unexpected genius.
If your pace never changes, neither will your thinking.
Field Note #47 🗓️ Posted: October 2024
The real magic isn’t in the stories we tell, but in how we listen—and act—in the moment. No grand plans, just presence.
Sometimes your best coach is the one living fully in the now.
Field Note #45 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Busy isn’t creative—presence is. Reclaiming small moments is the ultimate creative act.
Here’s to making the everyday extraordinary, one pause at a time.
Field Note #43 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
The road less travelled starts right where you are—a snap decision is all it takes to switch direction.
Easy is busy and familiar; hard is slower, quieter, and probably leads somewhere better.
You don’t need to turn back—just change lane
Who knows? Detours are where the best stories happen.
Field Note #41 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Can a book really change your habits?
Picked up Allen Carr’s Easyway out of pure curiosity—didn’t quit straight away, but a year later… surprise!
Turns out, even an “I can’t” can quietly morph into “maybe I can?”
Here’s to the weird, wild books you stumble on—and the changes you never see coming.
Field Note #39 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Wild thought: Want to get more done? Try… pausing.
Pause to focus, pause for momentum, pause for better everything.
Turns out, stopping is a secret superpower for moving forward.
Press pause. That’s where the good stuff starts.
Field Note #37 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Discouragement shows up more often than a bad WiFi signal.
Sometimes progress is slow, invisible, or just plain boring.
The trick? Let discouragement drop by, but don’t let it move in.
Discouragement is just part of the process, not the destination.
Field Note #35 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
The real magic? Show up every day—no parade, no applause, just you and the practice.
Daily self-accountability is the only scoreboard that counts.
Consistency now, payoff later. Keep at it—everything else follows in its own good time.
Field Note #33 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
We’re drowning in advice, but it all boils down to “do the work” (whatever that means).
Turns out, the real work is just being picky, making decisions, and sticking with it—on your terms.
Turns out, the essence is personal, not generic.
Cut through the noise—clarity comes from choosing, committing, and keeping it yours.
The real progress? Personal, not prescribed.
Field Note #31 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Shortcuts are tempting, but the scenic route is where the real lessons live.
Everyone has advice, but the only voice worth answering to is your own (preferably in your best inner-monologue accent).
Keep acting, keep learning, keep edging forward—Google Maps can’t help with this one.
Turns out, the long way ‘round is the fast track to self-understanding.
Field Note #29 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Sixty minutes in the Pain Cave: not exactly a party, but quietly productive.
No pep talks, no playlist—just counting, breathing, getting on with it.
Turns out, the simplest routines can be the most revealing.
Progress often shows up where you least expect it—right in the middle of the mundane.
Field Note #27 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Goals sound impressive, but honestly, they freak me out.
I told my trainer: skip the grand plan, I’ll just act now—discipline on repeat.
Turns out, “now” is a pretty solid destination.
Sustainable growth lives in the next step, not the distant summit—show up, repeat.
Field Note #25 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
The pain cave isn’t always silent—sometimes distraction is right there beside you, mid-rep.
Turns out, fighting distraction is the real training. Each interruption is just another chance to restart.
Every time you return, that muscle gets a little stronger.
Growth happens in the gaps—begin again, and let distraction do its part.
Field Note #24 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Turns out, the scariest part of any project is simply starting—especially when the “unknown” is doing its best ogre impression.
This week, I learned that starting (and re-starting, as often as needed) is the secret to progress—not perfection.
Done is just “started” on repeat.
Growth hides behind the fear of the first step—stumble, start again, repeat.
Field Note #22 🗓️ Posted: 19 June 2019
My daily routine is an ever-evolving cocktail of early mornings, cold showers, and creative tweaks.
Progress isn’t found in chasing perfection, but in constantly remixing what works, what doesn’t, and what’s just weird enough to inspire.
Creativity is a dynamic mess—embrace the tweaks, relish the flux, and keep muddling forward.
If you’re not changing, you’re not learning—there’s no “perfect,” just creative compound interest.
Field Note #20 🗓️ Posted: 15 March 2019
Skipped the sunrise selfie. Ditched the phone. Found out the world doesn’t need my updates—and I don’t need theirs. Turns out, the best moments never made it to my stories.
I stopped chasing likes. Started noticing life.
Silence = clarity. Highly recommend.
Field Note #18 🗓️ Posted: 11 February 2019
Forget waiting for creative lightning—real progress is in the daily groove: better sleep, more movement, less noise, repeat.
Growth isn’t a grand reveal; it’s hidden in the mundane moves and everyday rhythms.
Dance with it. That’s where the magic (and muddle) happens.
Field Note #14 🗓️ Posted: 15 June 2018
I always thought music helped me focus—turns out, it was just clever camouflage for distraction.
I ditched the background noise and found bursts of real, undiluted focus (plus fewer kitchen injuries).
Now, whatever I’m doing, that’s all I’m doing—no more multitasking, no more mental mash-ups.
Aiming for 100% focus, even if sometimes, I’m just focusing on trying.
Every approach has its moment. Every mind needs its own soundtrack.
Field Note #12 🗓️ Posted: 24 April 2018
Talent isn’t the end of the creative story—it’s just the start.
Real growth means questioning what you know, taking chances, and staying open to not knowing (that’s where the fun is).
Creativity is about pushing past comfort, embracing discovery, and living a little bolder.
A creative life is a life spent growing—by choice.
Field Note #10 🗓️ Posted: 1 March 2018
The internet puts a world of creative tools—and inspiration—at your fingertips.
Anyone can remix, reshape, and share something new (no library card required, just Wi-Fi and curiosity).
Creativity’s never been more accessible, or more democratic. Don’t wait—hit publish and make it yours.
Field Note #08 🗓️ Posted: 16 January 2018
Making space—on the desk or in the mind—isn’t just about tidiness, it’s fuel for creativity.
A clear view (and a jaunty pen) invites fresh energy, sharper thinking, and even a dash of playfulness.
Free space is where the magic happens, so schedule it like you mean it. Empty desk, open mind—ideas thrive in the gaps.
Field Note #06 🗓️ Posted: 5 December 2017
Information overload is real, but filtering it—like a design project—turns chaos into creative fuel.
Printouts, playlists, and playful curation keep the brain sharp, not scrambled.
The trick isn’t to block the waves, but to surf them on your own terms.
Choose what sticks. Let the rest wash over you.
Field Note #04 🗓️ Posted: 30 November 2017
Running, cycling, even floating in a tank—turns out the real benefit isn’t fitness, it’s perspective.
Move your body, your mind follows: worry fades, clarity grows, and life feels a little more balanced.
The secret? Make space for the good stuff—again and again.
Float, run, repeat: this is how the mind resets.
Field Note #02 🗓️ Posted: 13 October 2017
Hesitation is my brain’s favourite party trick—but every time I jump (into cold lakes, creative unknowns, or winter in shorts), I remember: action always beats overthinking.
The leap brings energy, joy, and the kind of creativity that rumination never will.
Turns out, instinct is underrated.
Hesitation happens.
Jump anyway.
Field Note #88 🗓️ Posted: June 2025
Forget the life you imagined—live the one you’re in. Turns out, the dream isn’t some epic vision; it’s in the everyday, bit by bit, over time. The real magic?
Living what’s here, not what’s imagined.
This is it—right now.
Field Note #86 🗓️ Posted: June 2025
We’re all winging it—truly, that’s where the magic happens.
Cluelessness = curiosity, openness, and figuring it out as we go (parenting, writing, everything).
“I don’t know” isn’t a flaw; it’s a launch pad.
Confidence is born in not knowing—right on the edge of what comes next.
Field Note #60 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Theory is fun, but it was no match for my son’s actual tennis practice.
He played. I read a book. Guess who won?
Turns out, research is helpful—but practice is where you level up.
You can’t think your way better; you have to play the game.
Read, then do. (And yes, The Inner Game of Tennis is still a classic.)
Field Note #58 🗓️ Posted: October 2024
What do you do when what once lit you up just… doesn’t anymore?
Sometimes, passion turns into habit, and comfort starts to hold you back.
The trick? Ask better questions, even when the answers make you squirm.
Growth is less about clinging to the old, more about getting curious about what’s next.
Comfort zones are lovely places, but nothing grows there.
Field Note #84 🗓️ Posted: June 2025
Not all progress is visible.
Self-help bingo? I played, checked the boxes—no magic prize.
Clarity doesn’t come from routines, but from tuning into what matters underneath.
People don’t want coaching—they want what clarity unlocks.
That’s where things change.
Field Note #82 🗓️ Posted: May 2025
Clarity isn’t tidy or soothing—it’s awkward, a little jarring, and never arrives on a script.
It shakes up your rhythm, shows you what no longer fits, and asks questions you’d rather outrun.
Pretending is easy, but honest discomfort is where real change begins.
Choose your discomfort—the real stuff is rarely comfortable, but it’s always worth it.
Field Note #80 🗓️ Posted: May 2025
Clarity isn’t just for the lost; it’s for the honest.
Some seek answers, some seek space to stop pretending they have them.
No need to fix, no need to perform—just be real, right where you are.
Field Note #78 🗓️ Posted: Feb 2025
Change rarely announces itself.
It hides in the small stuff—the daily habits, repeated conversations, the unnoticed nudges.
Maybe there’s no big turning point.
Just quiet momentum already moving you forward.
You’re in it. Keep going.
Field Note #76 🗓️ Posted: Feb 2025
Average coffee, brilliant conversations.
Turns out, the little daily habits—like morning chats—aren’t distractions from the big stuff, they’re the big stuff.
What you do every day is already shaping where you’re headed.
Sometimes your future’s brewing quietly in your morning routine.
Field Note #74 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Tried to get AI to design for me—got ghosted and gaslit instead.
Turns out, creativity’s still got a human edge.
When AI misses deadlines, you know it’s not ready for prime time.
Field Note #72 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Sitting in the car, doing nothing—but maybe that’s the real work.
You don’t have to post to matter.
You just have to be where you are. Fully.
Field Note #70 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
“Good enough” always felt like falling short—until someone called me out for being too hard on myself.
Maybe good enough isn’t failure; maybe it’s just what you need to start.
Progress comes from being seen, imperfect and in motion.
Start where you are. Good enough is enough to build on.
Field Note #68 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
I used to think being ‘busy’ was a badge of honor—turns out, it just means “preoccupied.”
A coffee with my (unofficial) mentor taught me: “occupied” is present, focused, alive.
“Busy” is just fear in disguise.
Now, I choose to be occupied, not busy.
Here’s to more flow, less busywork—and the clarity that comes with it.
Field Note #66 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Letting your work loose in the wild changes the work—and you.
Putting things out there (even if you’re not “ready”) is where the real transformation happens.
The work grows, you grow, and the act of showing up matters more than any outcome.
Set it free—see what returns.
Field Note #64 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Confidence doesn’t show up before you start—it follows you in.
Action comes first, confidence catches up.
Turns out, the trying is what builds it.
Let confidence be the outcome, not the entry ticket.
Field Note #62 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Every ride, every ice bath—less thinking, more clarity.
Moving the body lets fresher insights in.
Turns out, wisdom arrives when you stop overthinking and just go.
Sometimes the best ideas come in the climb—or at 30,000 feet.
Field Note #56 🗓️ Posted: November 2024
Sometimes the world doesn’t shift overnight—but you do.
Big dreams rarely land in one go; it’s more trial, error, and tiny tweaks.
Turns out, magic is just steady curiosity and patience in disguise.
Growth is slow, but it’s yours—one shift at a time.
Field Note #54 🗓️ Posted: October 2024
“This is no time for perfectionism.”
Perfect reminder. Just start—pen, notepad, Post-Its, and an open mind.
Unlearn, begin again, and keep it loose.
Here’s to messy starts and small shifts that matter.
Field Note #52 🗓️ Posted: October 2024
Day 4,816: Three minutes in an ice bath—my Sunday morning masterpiece of bravado.
Turns out, the real challenge came after I got out (ouch).
Lesson: always listen to your wife.
Growth is chilly, humbling, and rarely as cool as you think.
Field Note #50 🗓️ Posted: September 2024
Day 4,812 into my not-so-linear career shift—still learning.
Lost my spark in London, moved to Italy, found it…lost it…found it again.
Turns out, success isn’t a title or a postcode—it’s taking small steps, again and again, through uncertainty.
Onward.
Here’s to growth stories that zig, zag, and keep going.
Field Note #48 🗓️ Posted: September 2024
Speed up. Slow down. Do both—sometimes creativity needs a gear shift, not cruise control. Rhythm comes from changing pace, not keeping it steady.
Here’s to finding flow in the irregular.
Field Note #46 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
€1.10 and a coffee: a tiny gesture, a big impact. Sometimes all it takes is a pause, a bit of kindness, and a good espresso to spark connection.
Small acts, big ripple.
Field Note #44 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Team of one? It’s always you vs. you—the feedback loop can get weird.
Self-assessment is messy, but you know your own tricks (and excuses).
Get honest, step aside, watch what happens.
Maybe you’re the coach you needed all along. You don’t have to win—just change how you play.
Field Note #42 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Purpose vs. patience: a bit like waiting for a bus—patience is lovely, but you can’t just stand there forever.
Still figuring out my own purpose (aren’t we all?), but maybe it’s just patience plus action, on repeat.
Sometimes the journey is the destination.
Walk, don’t wait.
Field Note #40 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Leading yourself is less habit, more hopeful slog.
Self-enquiry? Sure, but resisting easy options is the real habit—until it isn’t.
Turns out, “worthwhile” feels hard right up until it doesn’t.
That’s the point, apparently.
Field Note #38 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Magic isn’t just for wizards and Instagram—sometimes it’s hiding in your morning routine.
Most days are just days, but there’s a weird power in showing up for the ordinary, again and again.
Turns out, mundanity is where momentum gets made.
Magic happens when you’re not looking for it.
Field Note #36 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Doubt’s always in your corner—sometimes cheering, sometimes heckling.
It keeps you sharp, asking better questions, and nudging you to regroup and try again.
But if doubt turns into a roadblock, it’s time to let it sit out the next round.
Doubt can be a motivator—just don’t let it rule.
Field Note #34 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Listening matters, but your own intuition is the real guide.
Distraction teaches, doubt sharpens, but only you can filter the noise.
Truth is an inside job—trust your inner compass.
Field Note #32 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Fast and flashy is nice, but the magic often hides in the mundane.
Old me: start, stop, repeat (classic rollercoaster, zero theme music).
New me: didn’t want to, did it anyway…on loop.
Turns out, stubborn consistency has its own weird momentum—friction and all.
Monotony: secretly dynamic since forever.
Field Note #30 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
When I took my wife’s advice and joined her in the so-called “Pain Cave”—turns out, the aches are real and the trainer is, well, enthusiastic.
We now swap stories (and groans) after every session.
Growth from leaving your comfort zone? Sure. But the real growth is in the shared jokes, the clichés, and showing up again anyway.
Turns out, lived experience is the best cliché of all.
Field Note #28 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Knowledge is power, but knowing yourself? That’s next-level.
Progress in the Pain Cave isn’t measured in reps, but in self-awareness, discipline, and confidence.
Turns out, the real gains are invisible—felt, not counted.
Measure growth by depth, not digits—go deeper, get stronger.
Field Note #26 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Turns out, you don’t need focus to start—you need to start to get focus.
The pain cave taught me: work first, focus follows.
If focus slips, just keep working. That’s the game.
Clarity comes to the movers, not the waiters—start scrappy, finish sharp.
Field Note #24 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
The pain cave: no distractions, just you and the work—pure focus feels almost illegal.
But outside the bunker, life is all noise and interruption. Distraction isn’t the enemy; it’s your unexpected coach.
The real work? Returning to your task, again and again, no matter how often you drift.
Growth hides behind the urge to quit—step back in, start again, repeat until it sticks.
Field Note #23 🗓️ Posted: June 2024
Sitting still and actually facing the “void” (a.k.a. the urge to do anything except the thing I should be doing) is now my new creative workout.
Distraction—high or low—was just an excuse to move, but resisting the urge and practicing deep attention brings the real endorphin rush.
Turns out, quality attention is the real productivity hack.
The longer I stay put, the more I learn—growth is about sticking with the discomfort, not escaping it.
Field Note #21 🗓️ Posted: 15 March 2019
Three weeks off Instagram, one week off all social—suddenly, my phone is just… a phone.
Gained back two hours a day; swapped scrolling for reading, daydreaming, and just looking around.
Turns out, fulfilment comes from choosing where my attention goes, not where my thumb scrolls.
The best views are up, not down—presence is the real upgrade.
Field Note #19 🗓️ Posted: 31 January 2019
Broke the Instagram dawn-to-dusk habit; left my phone at home and got my focus back.
Turns out, the sun still rises beautifully, even if nobody sees it on my feed.
The best discoveries? They happen off-screen—when I make my own path, not scroll someone else’s.
Less sharing, more seeing—clarity loves the quiet.
Field Note #17 🗓️ Posted: 31 January 2019
The naked truth? It’s usually the push we need. My default setting used to be “self-doubt with a side of pessimism,” but I’m learning to strip back the negative noise and give more air time to the good stuff. Perfection’s overrated—progress wins every time.
Growth isn’t just about the shiny bits. Sometimes you need to air out the awkward, let the doubt in, and let real momentum begin.
Field Note #15 🗓️ Posted: 02 August 2018
I used to take creativity way too seriously—then I discovered adding a ‘lighter touch’ actually improves my work (and my sanity).
Turns out, commitment plus humour = progress, and joy is the real engine of learning.
Now I aim for a balance: take the work seriously, not myself.
The most interesting work usually comes from both seriousness and playfulness.
Field Note #13 🗓️ Posted: 14 May 2018
Creativity flourishes where desire, conflict, and risk all show up for the daily workout.
Letting go and simply starting unlocks flow, but true growth comes from facing challenges and making choices—again and again.
Whether writing or creating, progress is all about moving your own story forward.
Creativity isn’t neat, but it’s always worth the leap.
Field Note #11 🗓️ Posted: 5 April 2018
Chaos and confusion aren’t glitches in the creative process—they’re fuel for it.
Accepting ambiguity lets calm and new connections surface, even when your thoughts feel like a messy desk drawer.
Growth happens in the muddle, not just the moments of clarity.
Let the brouhaha in—creativity thrives there.
Field Note #09 🗓️ Posted: 5 February 2018
Turns out, life’s full of algorithms—from brewing coffee to beating procrastination.
Tweak your steps, learn as you go, and progress happens bit by bit—not all at once.
Productivity isn’t speed; it’s about getting better, one day at a time. Good enough today? That’s winning.
Field Note #07 🗓️ Posted: 18 December 2017
Storytelling is ancient, but in the digital age, empathy and authenticity still steal the show—whether you’re pitching to tech titans or chatting in the piazza.
It’s not about being loud, it’s about making a real connection (bonus points if you sneak in a question about the future).
In a world of noise, stories cut through. Forget the algorithm—lead with the heart.
Field Note #05 🗓️ Posted: 29 November 2017
What do bakeries, underwear shops, and architects have in common? Around here: community.
It’s less about the products, more about the chat, the stories, and the way honesty, humility, and humour run the show.
Connection keeps the village thriving—something even big business wishes it could bottle.
Buy the bread, stay for the banter. That’s real business.
Field Note #03 🗓️ Posted: 30 October 2017
Change isn’t always comfortable, but every tweak—moving furniture, shifting routines, or rethinking work—refreshes perspective and sparks creativity.
It’s not about reinventing the wheel; it’s about keeping things moving and your thinking alive. Evolution is made of tiny pivots, not giant leaps.
Change it up.
The magic is in the remix.
Field Note #01 🗓️ Posted: 9 October 2017
