I’m collecting 52 songs in 52 weeks. Every Friday, I add a song to my playlist. With the chosen music, I try to capture my energy and feelings of that particular Friday.
Week 22/52: Helene Fischer – Atemlos durch die Nacht
After 52 weeks, I will have recorded all the seasons, holidays, and high and low weeks of the year in this playlist on Apple Music. Don’t use Apple Music? Subscribe to weekly updates via RSS.

This morning, I completed my third run of the week and my last run of the month due to our annual skiing holiday starting tomorrow. I was disappointed with myself for not being able to run farther or faster this month than I had to date. Then I thought, why don’t I compare my 2025 January and February running results with last year’s? And so I did.
| Jan ’24 | Jan ’25 | Feb ’24 | Feb ’25 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Runs | 12 | 18 | 4 | 13 |
| Avg. Pace | 6:08 | 5:52 | 6:25 | 6:11 |
| Time | 8:09:25 | 9:43:58 | 3:55:45 | 8:26:16 |
My log showed me that I am progressing and will come out better this winter season than ever before.

I had a fun week again. I was busy with work, as my international product leadership team was in the Netherlands, and with private matters, ensuring my friends and family got the attention they deserved.
Have fun reading this week’s ‘thingsThisWeek’.

AI will not replace you, but people who use AI will.
I captured this quote from one of the speakers at our annual ReThink conference in Zürich last week. While it’s short and simple, I believe it holds a lot of truth. AI assistants will increase productivity massively, and because of this, the people who know best how to use such assistance and agents will have a considerable advantage over others.
I recently had a virtual interview with a candidate who captured my audio and passed my questions on to an agent who helped him answer them better. While I was initially amazed and somewhat opinionated, it also made me think positively about the candidate and how future-ready he was by applying new technology as it became available.
