I’m currently working on a project for a special client, which is quite time-consuming. I feel honored to be trusted with this kind of work, but the deadline is tight and my work-life balance has almost disappeared. For weeks, I’ve been working nearly seven days a week, often late into the evenings.

When I’m really focused, I tend to get completely absorbed in a project, making it the center of my life for that period of time. I actually like this obsessive side of me — I think it’s a blessing to care so deeply about what you do and to feel this kind of motivation. But at the same time, it’s really important to me to stay balanced, especially during intense creative phases like this.

To reset and truly take a break, we booked a beautiful, cozy resort near the Alps, left our laptops at home, and put our phones on flight mode for four days. It was exactly what I needed. I finally had time to read, move my body, enjoy good food, and reflect on the past few weeks — finding ways to create a healthier balance again. Those days felt perfect, and I’m so grateful for that experience.
