WINS
#beingHuman
- March 18, 2026
I had planned to write a similar article to last week – pointing out every single win of the week. When writing the weekly short of week 10 (Loser), I was already well into week 11, and especially in the first two days, I was killing it. So – why not?
Because I still do not feel like a winner (as the opposite of a “loser”). I had many big and small wins, but I also got stuck, fell into some traps, and overplanned the week (as usual). And especially at the end of the week, with energy and willpower dropping, I did not feel like a winner.
I am pretty sure the phenomenon has a name, but I am too lazy to look it up – I bet you can relate anyway.
So let’s just point out that I had a great week and got a lot of stuff done. This included a trip to Kraków to get some paperwork out of the way, working many hours on the website, attending online church somewhat, writing Easter greetings, doing laundry (by hand), but also taking care of my body by doing my morning gymnastics at least 4 out of 6 times (Tuesdays are a “should“, not a “must”). And of course, there was teaching and admin work.
I guess, I am a winner – at least in the past week.
