Bottom trawling is incredibly and depressingly destructive, and the new footage in the Ocean documentary makes that very clear. It’s not only unnecessary, but counter-productive. And yet the UK government has just decided against a blanket ban.

"I got more done in one Power Hour than all morning alone!" 🙌🏻

That’s the magic of "body doubling" - working alongside others (even virtually) boosts focus. Try it for yourself next Monday!

Distraction is everywhere!

Even with the best of intentions, it’s easy to lose hours on low-priority tasks. June's workshop is on Focus Zones - identifying peak productivity times and creating boundaries for deep work. Join us on June 2nd!

Planning isn’t just about goals - it’s about systems that make life easier. In April’s workshop, we’ll discuss templates for recurring tasks (onboarding, emails, invoices) so you can work smarter, not harder. Save time, reduce effort, and focus on what matters. Register here: lu.ma/SmartAlpacaP...

Storybrand NL hosted a special event in Amersfoort last week: Dr. JJ Peterson and fellow guides talked about their experience using the SB framework and combining it with other research, and the conversations (and food and more!) with fellow guides were the best part. Can't wait for next time!

When you work with people in different time zones, this is a dangerous time of the year: as regions implement DST at different times, our time differences are all out of whack. On the bright side: for the next 3 weeks, there's only a 5h difference between myself and some of my Canadian/US friends!

Underwater noise pollution, plastic, and discarded fishing gear are threatening dolphin populations around the world — several species of dolphin are barreling toward extinction.
Help @conservationorg.bsky.social protect the waters that many species (not just dophins) need to thrive.

People need nature to survive. It’s the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe — but the climate crisis has put these resources in jeopardy.

My monthly planning workshops aren't about vision-casting or setting goals - they're about creating space in our busy calendars to get stuff done - and have more fun time, too. This month, we're exploring how we set, communicate, and enforce boundaries.
