To treat your personal life with the same level of structure as your professional life. We’re used to setting goals, KPIs, or OKRs at work, but when it comes to our personal goals, having smaller or larger goals is rarely thought of. I try to set & follow goals for my time outside of work, whether it be for family, friends, finance, or even fun.

Consistency. We’re all looking for those big wins in life, but the smaller ones are the ones that make up for most of the time you spend working & keep you motivated to stay on track for the big goals you set.

Not sure if this would be surprising, but I’m a huge geek when it comes to data & research. One example would be for health & food supplementation, where I can read about something that gets mentioned in the biohacking community and then get lost reading about the latest clinical trials & see if based on tests it would be something that could benefit me to min-max my performance.

I’ve wanted to improve my Russian language skills & take up dance lessons, but at the current state, I’ve found myself with more work on my hands than before so I am setting my priorities elsewhere.

My personal body and brain energy management. If you want to achieve more and give more to others, you must first take good care of yourself.

I try (sometimes during these times, it really only stays as “try”) to stay active. Physical exertion helps me also to keep my mind sharp and keep my energy levels up. Lately, I’ve been fond of exploring the countryside and getting a bit further away from the city to try to change things up a bit.

Having the understanding that you won’t always be at your peak and that it’s only a temporary feeling. Finding what you can and cannot influence and allocating your resources accordingly. Starting small – solving at least one or two smaller-scale problems on a daily basis to find gratification.
