Thoughts On The Go

Getting it together

From time to time I get into a phase where things seems to be out of control, like I lose grasp of everything and start to be carried out by bad habits in such a vicious manner that tend to feel trapped and even helpless at times; like my hands and arms were tight and I cannot get away; and…

Is the chain different for everyone?

This is what I asked myself on days like today, where I’m about to go to bed, exhausted and…

Habits

If there would be a way I can define what habits have become to me, I would say habits are my “spirit animal”.

I’ve always been quite a structured person, or at least I like to think I’ve tried to be one, however, for a number of months now I’ve been catering a list of habits that work for…

Sunday Night

Daily Blog #111

Sunday, late night, the prelude of the new week ahead. A new beginning, an…

Beat the block

There’s only one way to beat a block and that’s to do it either way, to force yourself…

Constraints

Constraints by definition are not normally considered as something positive, they mean limitations or restrictions. For me, are a necessity.

Is not amazing how constraints can help to realise how much time you waste?

Big Day

Hello Berlin!

Tomorrow is the big day, I will be delivering the talk I’ve been working over the last few week together with a think tank where people will be able to debate and discuss the topic.

Want a boost? Revisit your own work, you will be surprised

Remember yourself what you’re capable of

Uncomplicating

I got so used to write this daily entries that I practically and unintentionally left aide my other publications and interests.

External factors, fear of myself and letting go

It’s ok

Monotony

I’ve been struggling to find ideas and inspiration the entire week, getting to start…

You never know

You never know when you’re going to meet someone that will give you a hand in the future. You never when a mere encounter can become in an opportunity, when a stranger will become a friend, a partner or even a lover.

Break

Daily Blog #116

That’s it, not overthinking it, just taking a break from the responsibilities I give to myself.

Free at last

From time to time a writing piece will arrive to my life to make things complicated, and it is always the same. It comes disguised as…

Always think community

I’m a huge believer in community, that’s because I believe in relationships first and foremost and above transactions.

Build platforms for people to not only take part of something, by to belong to it; to empower them.

Late

Late night, loads of work and practice for tomorrow.

Feeling confident with the content and the slides. A couple of extra rehearsals tomorrow and everything will be ready.

Looking forward to it :)

Week

Sometimes, all it takes is just one day, to make an entire week worth it.

Do you?

Life’s too short for this, that was what I thought today after another day of long meetings, that, although they were indeed necessary and added…

Be a Designer

In a world full of not-designers, be a designer.

Don’t fix things. Solve problems.

Running is a blessing

We regularly hear — almost as a cliche — that it is all about the little things; probably in an over-simplistic way, even frivolously. Then, someone reminds us, that is true. In a very personal manner.

“Enjoy running but never take it for granted…

Let them shine

Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to see Roger Waters live in concert for the third time. It was an experience, as always.

If there’s something that characterised Pink Floyd along the years, was the spectacularity of their shows, and a lot of that has always attributed to…

Kindness

When you’re walking back to town with a stranger, a person that you just meet at a local meet-up and hour before, and while chatting about your backgrounds and experiences in the city, the topics changes to food and randomly, even normally you say “I’m starving”, and that “stranger” immediately stops, open his…

If you’re not willing to even try, then don’t mention it

Technology, disruption and Pokemon GO

Is not amazing that a company that two weeks ago was consider as falling behind, with almost no presence on Smart Phones, launched what have become the hottest game on the planet, literally changing the world overnight. Pokemon GO is only about a week old. A WEEK!
