Life Redesign

01
Life Redesign

Quit the corporate job

After years inside it, I walked away from the corporate structure — not with a finished plan, just a clear sense that I wasn't building the life I wanted from inside someone else's org chart.

02
Life Redesign

Built my own consultancy instead

I kept the work I was actually good at — change and digitalization — and started doing it on my own terms. No ladder to climb, no calendar that belonged to someone else.

03
Life Redesign

Leveraged the freedom it bought me

Running my own business meant I could shape my days around what mattered instead of around a fixed schedule. That freedom is what made room for everything that came after — Vegocracy included.

04
Life Redesign

Cut the waste

Less stuff, less clutter, fewer decisions about things that don't earn their place. The guides on sunk cost and cognitive load below both grew directly out of this one.

05
Life Redesign

Let tech do the boring parts

Automating the repetitive, low-value parts of daily life so there's more attention left for the parts that actually matter — the garden very much included.

06
Life Redesign

Time for continuous improvements

Five changes made room for an ongoing sixth one: paying attention to what's actually working, and adjusting instead of overhauling. The guides below are that — the specific, small adjustments, written down.

"A life, like a garden, is never finished — it is tended."

Sunk Cost vs. Worth Nurturing

In progress

A short guide — and a workbook — for telling apart what's worth actively maintaining from what you're only keeping because of what it already cost you. Built from twenty years of watching organisations make this same mistake, turned on ordinary life instead: a cottage wall, a piece of clothing, a project that outlived its purpose.

Choosing Your Cognitive Load

In progress

Not minimalism, and not an aesthetic — a plainer question: does this thing earn its place, does it have a home, could one object do the job of three? Every item you keep is something to track, tidy and decide about again and again. This guide is about getting deliberate about that cost.
