]]> This weekend has been great, I hope you had a great one, too.

From the realms of our awesome living room (honestly, I so love our new apartment!), I “found” Tom Peters, Author, Trainer, “Management-Thinker”. The website is full of content – not just stuff, content! – and he is giving away a lot of things for free, amongst that: His complete Powerpoint-Decks and many PDFs, almost small books/essays.  Right now I am diving in this stream of new information, adding books to my amazon wishlist and thinking of ways to integrate those ideas into my daily work. For example: How can I make the Institute (the place inside Capgemini I am working for during my first three months) a PSF – a professional service firm – that makes its customers go “wow”? I am currently working on a new internal print ad, so I might be able to integrate the new idea right now. Read this (also free, also from Tom Peters) for an idea of what he means with PSF. Don’t be put off by the writing style – it is very much like listening to a very energetic speaker, rather than reading a book. But the content, as I said, CONTENT, the flood of ideas, is worth a second look/read. Possibly a third.

I am gonna iron some shirts, then go for a quick weekly review, and then all is set for another great week.

]]> Michael is absolutely right, this blog could need an update!

As writing in lists is a lot easier than writing prose sometimes, let’s hit it off with five good reasons why I didn’t post here in a while:

  1. I got hooked on the series “Heroes“, and could not stop watching until the end of the first season. 23 times 45 minutes – this actually takes some time :-)

  2. I was busy with other holiday-non-value-creating-activities, like proceeding on GTA San Andreas (aaaalmost done now!) and reading my way through stumbleupon.

  3. There have not been that many cool events lately… wait! That is not true at all. We’ve been partying, we met and befriended new people (hi Hanno!), we even went to the baltic see for a day (Photos here on flickr). So I guess I was simply not in the content-producing-mindset, rather in the enjoying-the-days mindset.

  4. I am really terrible at doing lists… I always forget what they were all about when I started them. This is about cooking, right?

  5. One of my favourite dishes: Sushi from Tine. She is really really good at it, so the Sushi is totally high quality, delicious and fresh – and the best thing: She makes all the reeeeally good stuff that costs you a fortune in the restaurant!

]]> While spending almost all my wake time in the PC lab of university, finishing the thesis, I still had time to complain about my not-existent flat tummy. This complaining got me some sympathy from my girlfriend… and a training plan.

So now I am having lots of fruit and vegetables instead of cookies and chocolate-filled everything, and I have been jogging yesterday… AND today. You hear me right. Second day, still going strong. Maybe I should try the Seinfeld way: Don’t break the chain!

What are your tips for sticking to new habits?
