Now
Curious what I am up to? On this page you can keep an eye on what is keeping me busy right now.
Keeping busy
- I am in talks for a new job as product owner or something similar, after amically parting ways with Bidfood a bit earlier than planned. Since I am looking for some stability, I am open to permanent employment.
- I might have (had) Post-COVID or at least some kind of stress response. So the last half year I’ve been struggling in keeping up my energy levels. I stopped running for a few months, took time for some medical checkups (all good 🤷♂️) and now slowly getting back into it. Fingers crossed on getting back into proper training later this year!
Personal development
- I am currently reading:
- Een Kleine Geschiedenis van Amsterdam by Geert Mak. A Dutch book about the history of my town.
- Driving Value with Sprint Goals by Maarten Dalmijn.
- the Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson (2/6 left)
- I still want to finish:
- The Kingsbridge series by Ken Follett (1/3 left)
Keeping calm & fit
- I signed up for a fitness club for the first time in decades as I am trying to work on my base level fitnes. Preventing injuries and discomforts in running and bouldering and improve my quality of life in general.
- I am picking up running again. As stated above, I’ve been off running for a few months. Now getting back into it, starting from scratch is hard. Follow my ups & downs on Strava.
- I am practicing yoga twice a week after finding an awesome Amsterdam yoga school called Tula Yoga. I practice yin and hatha yoga. It’s a great contrasting exercise next to running and bouldering and perfect for addressing Post-COVID symptoms too.
- I started bouldering in 2021 and I love it. I try to do it once a week and I’ve been climbing up until 6B levels last year. For reasons named above I am taking it a bit easier at the moment.
