If you want 2026 to feel calmer and more intentional, follow along. The app is coming quietly, but I hope the impact isn’t.

I didn’t want to create another “hustle harder” tool shouting for attention. Most people don’t need a coach yelling at them. They need a calm voice, once a day, nudging them one small shift forward. Quiet is sustainable. Quiet sticks. Quiet transforms.

Eventually I stripped everything back. What actually makes life better? Not grand gestures or impossible reinventions. A handful of simple ingredients: gratitude, perspective, meaningful work, movement, connection. My own quiet recipe for happiness. No magic, just practice.

Years later, leading complex engineering projects, I realised the same discipline could also break you. Burnout doesn’t arrive loudly, it sneaks in through constant pressure, noise, and the feeling that you must fix everything at once. Overthinking becomes your worst partner.

I grew up in the pool. Discipline, routine, and resilience were part of my DNA early on. At 13, I broke my first national record in long list. Swimming taught me something profound: big wins come from thousands of quiet, repetitive, almost invisible efforts.
