What I'm Doing Right Now

Location

Pontevedra, Spain (Galicia). From the desert of Dahab via an insane 27 hours travel (don't fly Iberia in and try to fly charter out of Egypt) to Germany for Christmas to the north of Spain for New Years and the past three weeks.

I recently took multiple short trips around Galicia and must say its stunning. From rough sea to edgy cliffs to rustic stone houses, using wood for the fire, narrow streets and the massive pork feasts with 3.5-hour lunches. Amazing.

Creating

Coding for fun. Droid + Opus 4.5 is so much fun. I built a lightweight Winamp clone in the browser just because I felt like it. It is amazing what fun and unnecessary things (next to the useful ones) are enabled with the whole "Vibe Coding" era.

Writing "Sawdust". I am drafting a new series of articles for Analecta. I am documenting the by-products of my work. The lessons, the systems, the philosophy. Turning them into standalone pieces.

No big camera this month... but a few snapshots from the phone.

Movement

To be honest this is currently a bit of a struggle. It is not as natural as I want it to be.

But this year is about "Power without Force". I am focusing on letting things come to me (Pull) rather than chasing them down (Push).

So even though I am having a hard time getting into a physical training routine. I manage to do a Yoga session but mostly I try to just keep moving by walking everywhere. Doing the grocery shopping on foot and exploring the city is my movement of this month.

Reading/Learning

Spanish (Custom Approach). I am learning Spanish but I realized standard tools didn't fit my brain. So I coded my own Spanish Trainer to fit exactly how I learn. FUN!

Interdependence. After a time of solitude I am now enjoying the dynamics of a "Co-Pilot" scenario. It feels like a different kind of freedom when you share the map again. I really appreciate it.

Listening to

Still vibing with Shimza. This set specifically has been on repeat.

Work

High Output, Low Friction.

I am currently in a flow state where work feels like play (very grateful).

• Consulting: Focusing on high-leverage strategy for a select few clients.
• Tinkering: Experimenting with my "Marketing Fundamentals + AI" knowledge to put it in a software / productized service.
• Charcuteria (DE) / Wurst Circle (EN): This is currently "The Toll". I got slapped by the last SEO update so I really need to put in the groundwork to get it back up and running. And some full video recording days ahead.
• GMALT: Even though this is currently on "ice". I found so much fun "coding" that I did a bit of refactoring and plan to maybe test some AI Marketing Flows on it.

What's Next?

A quick logistical trip back to Germany for video recordings and some family time. Then straight back to Spain. The map is open.
