This is an *almost* daily personal audio journal, I00% unscripted and unedited. There will be ordinary days with small lessons & reflections, as well as accelerated learning projects detailing the insecurities, frustrations, and progress. どうぞ宜しく🙇🏻♀️

🏡 I’m back!
Want to start the great habit of daily audio journal again! Two big lessons are the power of habit and the communication technique of asking “what have you understood?”, whenever a team decision/alignment is needed!

Greetings from Lithuania
In the capital Vilnius! Very charming city~ excited to explore it properly tomorrow. On a side note, Ryanair surprised us by taking off on time and arriving 20min early all while 1/3 of their workforce is on strike! 😂

We are now venture backed! 🥳
Small celebration! After a stretch of crunch time! Apologies for the audio quality, had to whisper~ But yea, still wanted to record something today :)

Timebox Everything! #lesson
Learn to be okay with good enough and start timeboxing everything! Otherwise, so easy to end up spending way too much time and overthinking things!

Pitch Day
Tournament Mood! Today reminded me a lot of my younger days when I used to go to Go Tournaments~ I enjoy the competitiveness and it’s been a fun ride so far! Feeling very thankful :)

Museum of London
Interesting day (re)discovering parts of London!
Aug 18, 201901:38
What’s the best thing that happened today?
Answer this one question daily to practice positive reflection :) I started my logbook today after being inspired by Austin Kleon. Logbook is an idea similar to bullet journal but more free and creative! Also, apologies for having gone missing for a couple of weeks. Need some space and time off~ now I’m back to daily voice journal!

Nothing Is Original
End of the day, it’s about execution!

Decision Making
Decision making is hard, especially when there is a lot at stake. Our advisor thinks it’s a matter of knowing what we want to build. And perhaps that’s really the most important factor!

The Foundling Museum
Britain’s first hospital for orphaned children. Fascinating stories behind it. Highly recommend checking it out!

Some Thoughts
Reflecting on why I’m doing this and it’s purpose, besides being a journal. Or perhaps at this point it’s really just a journal, and better to be kept private...

Identify Theft + Enormous FinTech Grants
A friend’s identify for stolen - both for her credit card and phone number! Completely mad... then also randomly discovered that there are enormous FinTech grants given out - something like 150million pounds, to existing well-established FinTech companies! Completely mad...

What is the problem you are solving?
People are some times blind to their own problems... Problem exploration has its own limitation because of it~ Things are always very nuanced.

The Light in the Piazza 🎭 🎶
Watched the musical at the Southbank Centre. Its story reveals some terrible stuff women had to face back in the 50s... But overall it’s a lighthearted musical!
