I find myself occasionally in the same rumination pits. There is a clear pattern and a trigger. Then 15 minutes later, in a good case, I will realise that I’m doing it again. By the time the thoughts have their own momentum, like a friction car, they are not as easy to stop immediately; it’sContinue reading “Action to stop rumination”

Tech AI efficiency the way companies don’t want it
I have a hypothesis. Hear me out. Where we will see the biggest benefits of AI will be small teams measured (and paid) based on delivered outcome. Knowledge work, is defined by it’s non-routine and creative nature. Not two tasks are the same and the way get to the outcome have to be figured out.Continue reading “Tech AI efficiency the way companies don’t want it”
AI written blogpost
Recently I wrote about my endless list of draft posts. One of the reasons is that it takes me quite bit of time to wrap my head around exactly what I want to say. However, AI could help with this, right? So I’ve tried it: “Dear Claude, I want to write a quick post inContinue reading “AI written blogpost”
I’m bad at CrossFit
When someone asks me if I exercise, I say that I’m shit at CrossFit. I do go to classes twice or three times a week and I have been going for a few years. I’m still a bit chubby. I injure myself every few months and exercise still hasn’t become a habit. I was cleaningContinue reading “I’m bad at CrossFit”
50 drafts
I’ve started to write this blog for myself. To have a space to train myself to write things down and to make some sense of it. It was partly learning how to write and part therapy. At the time I had some idea what I wanted to write about, but it has fairly changed overContinue reading “50 drafts”
Company culture for hardcore capitalists
I find it baffling that even in hardcore capitalistic circles, company culture and what it means for the company and profits is incredibly misunderstood. And I wonder if one of the reasons is that there is no project or programme you can run to “fix culture” and bring 10 FTE savings or salary decreases acrossContinue reading “Company culture for hardcore capitalists”
Delegating to AI made this header pretty boring
This post is about good old delegating outcomes versus delegating tasks and why it matters even more in the AI era. I tried a few different prompts to generate a header for this post. All of them were pretty much what you would expect. All the drivel you find all over LinkedIn, marketing materials orContinue reading “Delegating to AI made this header pretty boring”
Leading insecure overarchievers
We’ve all worked with people who would fall into this category. People who are consistently doing more than is expected, in amazing quality, work longer hours without being asked and in the end come across as incredibly humble folks. In some cases that insecurity will be overcompensated by false confidence or bravado. However the rootContinue reading “Leading insecure overarchievers”
Find a ladder and keep climbing…
If you would be in a basement that would be on fire and only way out would be scolding hot metal ladder, would you climb it? What if you wouldn’t see any fire, but only a smoke? Or you wouldn’t really notice any fire, but your family from upstairs would shout at you that youContinue reading “Find a ladder and keep climbing…”
You can meet people only as deeply as you met yourself
We are all on our journey through this life. We are just in different places at different times. It doesn’t mean that we will forever drift apart if we are not met as deeply as we would want. People have their own pace. There will be times when you will feel misunderstood and that’s ok.Continue reading “You can meet people only as deeply as you met yourself”
