The “168 Hours” Exercise I want to tackle a phrase we’ve all said or heard at least once: “I don’t have enough time.” Just like most people, I used to think this was the main thing holding me back from pursuing my goals and dreams. But let’s ...

Time is limited, and you try to figure out how to get more things done each week. Then you hear about Elon Musk working over 100 hours a week and you can barely manage 40. And, you’re not willing to give up all your free time to do more. This is where the problem comes in no matter how m...

Do you find it hard to be disciplined? I did for years and still do. Here’s what refuels me when discipline is the last thing on my mind: 1. Make the alternative painful. In Roman times, legionnaires developed chiselled, muscular bodies, not because Chad Thundercock on Twitter told them ...

Ray: It’s the conclusion of the strangest Black Label book in a long time, with Peacemaker and the elderly Red Bee facing off against Monsieur Mallah and a newly empowered Brain — who is in the body of Chemo and intends to spread toxins all over Peacemaker’s hometown for reven...

Barcelona, a city steeped in art, culture, and a vibrant energy that pulses through its streets. It was a whirlwind week of exploration, where every corner held a new adventure. From the iconic Sagrada Família to the lively karaoke night at George Payne, here’s a glimpse into the unforg...

Coming to Copenhagen I didn’t have high expectations. I just wanted to rest from work not really planning to do something too extraordinary. At the first glance the attractions are not that easy to find on the web, either. The hotel (Cabin Hotels) was quite disappointing. When I entered the...

On Saturday morning, I hopped on a ferry and made my way across the River Tejo toward Almada. The sun was shining on what could only be described as a glorious day. This was the perfect weather to wander around, check out the shops and have lunch outdoors at one of the many restaurants. After lunch ...

The Green Café is by far one of the things I love most about Lisbon. In the past, I’ve never been a big breakfast person outside of a tea or coffee and yogurt. After discovering the Green Café, that has all changed. The Green Café is a little slice of heaven which was t...

Our first day exploring Lisbon, we took a quick train ride out to Sintra, which is a must see if you are visiting Lisbon. Sintra boasts fairytale palaces and castles that you can explore, all perched high on a hill with amazing views of the countryside below. While visiting these historic places, I ...

Last year we had a debate around what to do for Christmas: spend it in uber-cold Romania, with temperatures dipping to -18C or find a different spot? It was a no-brainer, so we ventured to Spain, far from the madding crowds, staying in Catalonia and Barcelona. We decided to do something si...

While I succeeded at morning yoga all week, the resting part broke down quickly. Monday morning I headed to my usual morning cafe just up the hill. After counting the steps required to reach this lovely branch of my beloved Copenhagen Coffee Lab, I’ve determined that I climb the same distance ...

Having successfully secured the daily necessities, I have moved onto what I call Tier 2 of my shopping needs. These are the not-so-easy to find items that, while not being “essential”, make life a bit better. Two things at the top of this list are a crockpot and a set of hair curlers or ...

This second week in Lisbon I am getting into more of a routine. I am spending more time working and less trying to find necessities of daily life. The pull to explore my new city is still strong, so I head out everyday for long walks. I take my laptop and find new cafes to work in as I pop from neig...

Much has already been written about Frieze week and how its fair has once again positioned itself at the epicentre of contemporary art internationally. Doing so for 20 editions now. One of the privileges of working full time for an art gallery is that before the now classic Regents Park pavilion ...

I attended PS 11 in Brooklyn when I was in the 5th grade. I remember that year because of our class photos. For my picture day, I wore a crème crewneck sweater and green skirt and my hair was done in two pigtail braids. I am smiling with these big round happy eyes. My mother had chosen the tw...

Fleet Week is that time of year when U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard dock in major cities and enjoy our sights. The late Sen. Dianne Feinstein in 1981 began it in San Francisco with air shows, a parade of ships, and neighborhood parties. But honestly, we mostly know Fleet Week for “...

It feels like yesterday when our whole team gathered in Vienna for our first wild week of the year. Six months have passed and we met again, but this time, we also had the opportunity to celebrate our 10th anniversary with the whole team. We started the week with a BBQ in our office garden, ...

Fashion Weeks seem to come sooner and sooner — a staid complaint — but given the fact that we still see items not just from the past season but from several years past still circulating in retail, the state of things borders on the absurd. A sentiment I punctu...
