A few weeks ago, I was working again in Germany and had the opportunity to talk with a student there (Huy, if you read this, hello!). I love talking with students, and it is probably one of the parts of this job which I enjoy most. When I was a student, I feel like I…

It is your first time at life: just relax (here is how)!
I have never quite understood the race for ‘figuring it all out’. I do understand how calming this seems on paper, but let’s be honest: would not we be bored stiff if we had it all figured out? Actually, I know personally (and you probably do too) people who either do seem to have everything…

Why emails kill your efficiency and mental health (and how to correct it)
I have published lately a post on a mindset shift: looking efficient is sometimes counter-efficient. In the latter, I suggested writing an entire post on the question of emails, and why they more often than not kill your efficiency.

You need to respect yourself before you are respected – Workplace edition
This is one of those concepts that make us want to scream ‘Thank you, Captain Obvious, I am not stupid’, but we all need to read or hear from the outside to fully go back to it from time to time. At least, I am one of these people. As I was figuring out what…

Another life update (yes, that is the 1st 2023 post!)
To be honest, I arrived at the automatic yearly payment for my blog last May and started writing this post. Then, I felt uninspired and left it for the day I would feel like the time had come to start writing rather seriously again. Thus, maybe it is time to start again? For sure, I…
