  • Review week 52/2025

    Grateful

    • Over the holidays I got time for a longer, much needed resting period.

    Failure

    • Although knowing I needed the rest I still beat myself up for it because I’ve made nearly no progress with my study program assignments.

    Take Away/Doing Next

    • Keeping up relaxation routines while also trying to accept that I still need more time to rest.
    • Combining the last day of the year with the November/December 2025 evaluation. Also at the beginning of 2026 publishing a little review and evaluation of 2025 together with an outlook for 2026.

    • I’m grateful for all the support I get during this very busy time.

    Failure

    • Having technology that should but won’t work on different devices, thus adding extra steps just to continue where I left off while switching from laptop to mobile phone or vice versa.

    • Keep reading articles for my master’s thesis while balancing the increasing demands from my day job.

  • Review week 46/2025

  • Review week 44/2025

    Grateful

    • I’m thankful for all the support I got while I was finishing my master’s thesis research proposal.

    Failure

    • That there is no way to get my reMarkable device to connect with my Zotero account or even an easy way to import all my annotations from my reMarkable into my Zotero library.

    Take Away/Doing Next

    • Instead of reading articles for my study program on my reMarkable I’m switching to my phone where I can use the Zotero app for Android. This way I already have my annotations where I need them for continued work.

    • To have persons in my life who understand the difficulties I’m dealing with on a daily basis and support me each in their own way.

    Take Away/Doing Next

    • I will continue standing up for myself and correct misgendering, especially in environments I plan to or have to stay in for a longer period of time.
    • Looking to become part of an environment in which my gender is acknowledged and accepted.
