Build your perfect office. (Episode 224)

Here’s a video with a message about investing time and energy to create the perfect office for you. (Okay, I admit, the main reason I made this video is that I bought a drone a few days ago and really wanted to film my office 😀 But I think the message about creating the perfect […]

Burn old ideas, burn! (Episode 223)

A few months ago, the house that I used as storage for my book “The Idea Book” burnt down in a fire. All the books went up in flames!   I took it as a positive sign.   A sign that I should move on.    The book has served me really well. It has […]

Lucid Dream Ideation (Episode 222)

This morning I had a magical creative moment. I was half-asleep, half-awake and I started brainstorming with myself in a dream like state about ways to create a memory for my dad on my island. I played along with different ideas while being in a state of half-asleep. The ideas flowed in and out of […]

Introducing the word: “curiositer”. (Episode 219)

A Curiositer is a person who is curious. The Predicate Nominative for a person who is adventurous is “adventurer”. A person who takes on challenges is a “challenger”. I think there should be a Predicate Nominative for someone who is curious, and “Curiositer” works just fine. Personally, I am a “curious introvert”. Or perhaps that […]

Can a book save a person’s life? I just found out my book did. (Episode 218)

Yesterday, I had the privilege to connect with a woman who had asked to meet. In the meeting she told me her life’s story. How she – a happy and normal girl at 14 years old – had been drawn into a cult-like church and how there she had been brainwashed to give up her life […]

Maximally Annoying Small Problems – MASP (Episode 217)

I will exemplify with the iPhone: As a left-handed person, why can I not choose to put the camera button on the left side for easier and faster access? Why doesn’t the iPhone recognize if the background picture is light at the top, and then change the colour of the battery status and reception bar […]

Working on becoming even more creative. (Episode 216)

In the elevator to the training venue I was speaking at yesterday, it said “whole new level”. ​ The message resonated with me. ​ Because so many people compare their creative abilities to others – often to very creative people – and then draw the conclusion “I am not creative.” ​ That is so unfortunate.
