Last week has been pretty good in terms of work. The highlight of the week is definitely a successful meeting I had with a client and one of their VPs – this being one of the biggest organizations in the world – where the presentation I did was on point. Funnily enough, it was focused on an area where I […]

Welcome to the mid-February Weekly Reads, because time is flying! 12% of the year has already passed and I am not sure I can say where the first month and a half of the year went. Nonetheless, February is treating me kind of well so I cannot complain much. This weekend I picked up my blue light blocking glasses and […]

Last week has been not too fast and not too slow. I am the type of person that likes to be running around and solving problems at work. While I do enjoy the more chilled days as well every now and then, I usually thrive on solving critical situations. However, more relaxed days mean that I could squeeze in 4 […]

How is it February already? January literally flew by. While I am quite happy with how the month went down – I got to start the year by focusing on forming/deepening some good habits such as exercising, meal prepping or (almost) daily yoga  – I do feel like the month went by a tad too quickly. It was also my […]

What a week and weekend! I had a lovely three day weekend to celebrate my birthday and squeezed it all in, from touristing Berlin from am to pm, to brunch with friends and an amazing birthday dinner – I enjoyed every single moment of it. I am already planning my next three day weekend because a mini holiday is too […]

What a week! I’ve somehow had what felt like a looong work week, though it wasn’t extremely painful nor too stressful just a tad too unpredictable and unstructured. Nonetheless, I’ve survived it thanks to the 40% discounts on my Uber rides to work so I could work out in the mornings and make it to the office early enough to […]

This week has been the first full week of work; and what a long one it’s been. Not particularly tough but definitely long. I did, however, have a week full of great work outfits (thanks to the planning I did – read more below), which made me feel like I am back in the game and ready to kick ass […]

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone’s had a happy and healthy start into 2020 and you’re ready to get back into the work groove. I’ve recapped on my 2019 in a blog post, What I learned at work this year and I quite enjoyed taking the time to think about what I’ve learned and enjoyed doing in 2019. The […]

Back to the Weekly Reads schedule. In the past couple of months I slacked with my weekly posts but now that the studies are over, the holidays have passed and I am back in the office – yes, I decided to return to the office for the very last day of the year –  I should really have no excuse […]

This is my last week in the office ahead of the holidays and I am quite excited about the approaching end of the year. It’s been a tough and stressful year at work and I am looking forward to closing it, leaving all the chaos behind and diving into what 2020 brings. While I will be back in the office […]

What a whirlwind November has been. We are starting the last week of the month and I can’t believe it flew by so quickly. We started the count down to Christmas and the winter holidays, and I really don’t know how I will get all the work done in the next three weeks until I will be off. This month […]

Last week I have been working from home most of the time. My neck and back pain have been holding me at home. And there is no other more frustrating feeling than not being able to be productive when you want to be. That, paired with the long hours I had been doing previously, somehow mixed and took a toll […]

This past week has been one of the most unproductive weeks I’ve ever had. A lot of the stress from the previous weeks catched up with me and I strained my neck and upper back muscles bad enough to keep me a couple of days out of the office game. However, this helped as a reminder to finally take care of […]

This week has been quite busy and felt extra long. I’ve carried the load of heavy work weeks for the past month and since it’s barely slowing down, all of the load is catching up with me. While I have achieved quite a few major milestones, I did have to give up most of my free time to work. I […]
