What's on my mind

Last updated 14 hours, 37 minutes ago from a kitchen table in Winterthur, Switzerland.

PKM Summit

I got home from the PKM Summit 2026 in Utrecht last week. I'm still thriving on the momentum it has given me to work on my PKM and creating things!

I'm very proud of my travel preparations, which made me feel well confident in exploring the city with my needs in mind. It went so well, in fact, that I decided to create a little blog post on Utrecht. In the last now update you could already read about some of it.

The summit itself I enjoyed very much, if you couldn't already tell. I'll write another blog post about the summit as well, as there is just so much that happened. Some key things:

• I met people that I formerly only knew from the LYT online community and it felt like meeting family <3
• I went to an NFC workshop of Marieke van Vliet, which opened my eyes to new automations I want to set up
• I enjoyed Sabine Harnau's talk on nourishing the personal aspect in our PKM systems
• I got introduced to Martijn Aslander, who gave me a 1on1 demo of his Life Lens System named ThetaOS. And after the summit on Monday I brought Aria Khodaverdi along to almost a day long deep dive into what he's up to. And we three are in contact ever since. Blog post about this is also in the making!
• I met a nice person that's company I enjoyed very much during the summit. I know he reads this now page, but I didn't take the time yet to ask if he wants to be mentioned by his name.
• I talked with many more, went to workshops and got great recommendations. This is already exceeding the scope of this now update, so if you want to know more, watch out for the upcoming blog posts.

Re-entering Life

When I got home I struggled to do this huge context switch back to being at home and taking responsibility to continue my daily life. Balancing the momentum of the summit with my stable base layer of life.

Instead of continuing with school, I started working on my approach to a Life Lens System. I spent a lot of time with loved ones and in nature to reconnect with the physical reality here. To get out of this immersed mind state that is not good for me without balance.

But this is fine. Aria said something to me that really resonated: Neurodivergent people work in a different pace, sometimes much slower, sometimes way faster. I need to remind myself that me life-ing just looks different than other people, I do not work linear. And this is something unique and wonderful, I just need to work out how to make it my ally. To work with my way of being it, rather than against it, in a world that is made for linearity.

Random statement that popped into my mind: If I applied the regular cookie cutter to me, I would cut off the greatest things about me.

School

As already mentioned, totally ignored it until today when my new lesson was scheduled. I have to admit, my motivation is very low at the moment, as the school book is terrible (my teacher agrees!) and I am lacking momentum/a forcing function/a regular schedule. I'm trying to find a study group to try out if this accountability would work for me. Write me an email if you would be interested in studying with me! I would go for an experiment of 2-4 weeks, weekly zoom call on Monday (or Tuesday or Wednesday), lasting about 4 hours per session.

Driver's Licence

I'm in the process of scheduling a new first aid course!
