OK, ein paar Werkzeuge sind’s schon, aber als Spezialwerkzeug habe ich auch nur Konusschlüssel, Nüsse für Kassetten und Tretlager, Kettenpeitsche und Kettennieter.

Ich sollte sie verkaufen, aber es sammeln sich immer wieder einige an… aktuell habe ich 5 Bikes. 3 fahre ich regelmäßig, 2 sind „Projekt-Räder“.

Mal abgesehen von der Elektronik: ich repariere oft alte Fahrräder aus den 80er, 90er, 2000er Jahren. Ich bekomme diese Fahrräder sehr günstig auf Kleinanzeigen oder eBay (teilweise 50€). Oft sehen Sie total verrottet aus, sind nach einer gründlichen Reinigung aber grundsätzlich wieder fahrbereit. Nach einer ordentlichen Wartung sind sie dann oft nahe am Neuzustand. Würden die Leute ihre Dinge besser pflegen, dann hätten sie oft deutlich länger etwas davon. Diese Pflege muss nicht aufwändig sein. Schon wenige Minuten im Monat reichen.

Gerade bei Fahrrädern benötigt man nur wenig Spezialwerkzeug. Hier geht es eher um das Fachwissen, dass man aber mittlerweile durch lesen im Internet, von Büchern, oder durch YouTube Videos schauen einfach erwerben kann.

I used a Filofax before 16. Not that I needed it, but I liked it and felt very organised. Not sure if my mom is to blame, she was a financial accountant, so always did things very carefully and accurately.

Let’s not start about uni, where getting laid and smoking funny things was more important than being organised, but when I started working, I tried a lot of techniques.

I read something somewhere which I find quite fitting:

  • If you only have few tasks, anything might do. Keep them in mind, scribble them on a piece of paper. No need to prioritise them, because priority is instantly clear when looking at the few tasks.
  • if you’ve got more than just a few tasks then you need to write them on a to do list. With more and more tasks, you need to put them into some kind of order. Ordering the tasks by priority is most often a good idea.
  • If you have a lot of tasks and you juggle a lot of projects then you need something even bigger,which may be a system like GTD. This way, you can prioritise projects, individual tasks and also tasks not belonging to any project.

This helps me to avoid procrastination.

I still use the techniques above, depending on my current workload.

German here, I remember teaching people email etiquette and reminding them: “No TOFU” (Text Oben, Full quote Unten).

Means sth like “text above, full quote below”

No, this exists in other countries just as well. Here in Germany it’s called „Hausverwaltung“.

I’m really proud of my job as a manager. Dropped out of uni because I only learned what seemed interesting to me (mostly tech stuff from CS) and now I’m leading a team of devs. Cherry on top is that they like me, too. OTOH I’m proud of my wife and children and lots of other things, like having mastered 2 foreign languages, playing piano, recorder and guitar.

Most proud that we bought a house though.
