I’ve written 32 My Day in Three posts now. I write them (actually, I dictate them) on my iPhone. I’ve quickly scrolled through them tonight and enjoy how these reflections are adding up. Now that I’ve got a streak going, I’m setting myself the goal of completing 100 posts.

My Day in Three for today:

1. I tried to get four tickets for Bruno Mars in Amsterdam today. I failed.
2. Lots of meetings again at work today, and the day was long because of an afternoon meeting in US Eastern Standard Time with people at my company’s headquarters.
3. After work, I was again a taxi driver for my children. Both kids have very busy schedules in the evenings, and because it’s so dark outside, I don’t want them to come home on their bicycles, as they usually do when there’s more daylight.

My Day in Three for today:

1. I worked from home again today because I had a dentist appointment at midday. I’ll be going to the office tomorrow, as I don’t like working from home at all. Two out of three days this week have been enough for me.
2. Late this afternoon, my Internet connection failed. I still don’t know why, but disconnecting every connection to the fiber fixed it. Too bad it took almost 45 minutes of debugging to figure that out. The support engineering the call center was great though.
3. I was a taxi driver again in the evening for my son and his girlfriend. I’m sure I’ll remember these rides, or something precious, in the future.

My Day in Three for today:

1. I had a productive day in the office. The day was packed with meetings, but I still had time to work on the things that needed to be done outside of those meetings.
2. I drove home in the second half of the afternoon to be in time for dinner and to take the kids to sports. After that, I finished some after-dinner meetings with my team in Latin America.
3. To wind down before going to bed, I tinkered with Home Assistant and read my book.

My Day in Three for today:

1. I started the day working from home as I had an appointment with the physiotherapist halfway through the morning. Compared to last week, my right leg feels much better, but the pain is not entirely gone. I need to continue doing more exercises, and I will see him again in two weeks.
2. My afternoon was about my quarterly management meeting with all my leaders around the world. I always find this a very cool meeting because we literally review all products in my portfolio, crossing time zones from Shanghai to São Paulo.
3. My wife and I did a small walk early in the evening, which is part of our New Year’s resolutions. Walking isn’t running, but at least it’s moving and doing something with the energy that I have.
