In Switzerland, I work like a beast: day, evening and night, without a break, even on weekends. I stick to a strict diet, train hard and get almost perfect sleep.

Torture? Not at all. I love the grind, but I also enjoy relaxing and spending time with my girlfriend, friends and family.

That’s why I go back to Spain once a month.

Best of both worlds

How do you hire the right people? Talking it through with my former CTO, we boiled it down to:

- Proven experience with real projects. - Absolute clarity when explaining what they do and why (0 bullshit). - Ability to work independently.

I've been struggling with this for a long time.

On one side, a wolf whispers to me to work more, earn more, and accumulate more things.

On the other, another force invites me to let go, live with less, and find peace in simplicity.

Maybe it's a reflection of the eternal dichotomy between East and West. Does anyone else feel this way?

💬 A life hack for your working life:

Prepare before you speak.

I see way too many people show up to a meeting, standup, whatever, without taking even 10 minutes to organize their thoughts.
