Something to relax – LEGO
To work efficiently you must be well-rested. Last week I got LEGO from a friend and it was my first time building LEGO since childhood. I loved it and it gave me much needed energy for the rest of the day! Among other things, I used this energy to write this email....
Productivity tip – energy waves
Did it ever happen to you that you had a lot of energy in the morning but didn't have the will to start the intense hacking? You thought that you would have the same energy level for the whole day so you postponed doing the hard work. And then, all of a sudden,...

Mark Rober, a Youtuber with a slightly bigger audience than me (19 million subs, only 19 million more than me) made an experiment. He gave his audience the simple coding challenge to lead the car from the start to the finish using code blocks. This doesn't matter...
Do you allow yourself to rest?
As mentioned in the intro to the email, I just came back from the holidays. I had a lot of free time to think and I realised a sad fact about myself. I can't rest properly unless I'm on holiday 🙃. I always was very strict regarding my employment - no overtime,...
