A small update with few reflections and photos from the past month.

Its been a while since I posted some personal updates. We're in the middle of summer, so I thought it would be a good time to share some of what's been going on lately.

For the last 4 years, Gatsby has been the engine behind this blog. But from today onwards, you're browsing a page built with Astro, a web framework that powers fast content sites. Here's why I decided to move away from Gatsby and what I like about Astro.

I can finally feel that I'm breaking free from the misery mixture of being unmotivated, lazy and just feeling low. It is still early, only roughly two months of training, but I can already feel some changes.

It has been almost six months since the last update. That's quite a long time. Especially for someone who claims to tell stories! I won't seek excuses to explain that. I was definitely lacking some engagement, creativity and inspiration. Some ongoing personal changes also contributed to this.

I went for a run today, dragging my ass from sofa, out through the door on the evening streets of Hamburg. My motivation was low, my energy was low and I struggled to complete simple and familiar 5km loop route I often used to do here.

It has been a long (winter) hibernation season. Way too long for me. My blog was stagnant for eight months, and I was stuck too. Not much happened, not much changed.

It was a bit spontaneous decision, it happened quickly, it took almost 3 months of efforts, but here we are. We've finally completed our move to Hamburg, Germany!

Again, the time has come to sit down and look back into the past year. It's almost end of a busy, little dull year of 2018. If you're following my blog, please sit down and revisit with me the last 12 months of my life.

I didn't post any updates lately. Two months passed without a post. Sorry about that. It feels like I've been out of focus for some time. Summer's ended, and I'm trying to fix that now.

May is gone, and with lots of sunny, warm days we're officially entering summer period. It looks like it will be a hot one. As usual, I'm publishing my monthly summary for the past month. Enjoy.

It was an interesting month. It passed by quickly though, like other months too. I get the feeling that the time is accelerating. Or maybe its because we live busy lives, not always focus on what's essential for us.

Feeling a little buzzed and inspired from watching the runners on the London's streets, I've decided to challenge myself. I've signed for Munich Marathon!

Closing this month with small amounts of updates.

February is the shortest month in a year, will this be a brief update then? Lets find out.

The first month of January went pretty fast. Here's some short report from it.

It has become my tradition to spend couple hours by the end of a year and write a yearly review post. I'm doing that since last couple years. Today I'm writing this on retrospection of 2017. I invite you to read my share of struggles and moments of joy, successes & failures, ups, and downs.

Last days of December and year 2017 are through. Follow me on this monthly update before starting a countdown to the beginning of 2018!

In the beginning of the last month of 2017, I'm writing a short summary of November to check and update about what's going on in my life.

Autumn is already there and just two months left in this year. As usual, although not very regularly I sit down to reflect on past month. Follow me.

Summer in London is different than in Poland - I guess, it's more bearable. Not so much extreme weather changes, not freaking hot, which is good for living in the city. This month passed quickly, again. Let's look into July in my quick, monthly retrospective.

Just 2 days ago I went for a run on a warm and sunny afternoon and this thought struck me. It's already July and that means we're already in the 2nd half of the year. Amazing, how the time flies. If you care enough about what I do and think, stay with me for my monthly update.

It is the first week of June 2017 and that means it's time to write my monthly review again. May was again busy month (tell me which wasn't) but I'm actually quite happy with everything that's happened and the progress I've made.

I've got some delay with publishing this. Somehow feel disconnected with blogging recently and just this weekend got finally time on sunny, Saturday morning to sit quietly, think back and write about past month.

A second month already almost behind me. Time flew fast, there wasn't much happening, though. Again, a little too much work and stress and not enough of perseverance...

Short update about my blog. As you may have already noticed the base URL has changed. I wanted to do this for a few months already, but it required some preparation I've postponed this multiple time. But last weekend I've finally turned around and did it.

As time pass by, already the first month of 2017 is done. Here is my short look back into what was happening and how did I do this time. Also, a bright glimpse of the future.

The first week of 2017 passed quite quickly. Given some undistracted time, I can take a look at the time literally from the 10000ft perspective, as I'm now flying to Hamburg. So while it looks like that the new year is starting quite busy, let's step back and reflect on that.

Can't believe it's been another year. This one was busy and quick. Even though a lot happened somehow I feel like I've missed it. This is almost the last day of 2016 and I sit here now, in London and look back to reflect on what happened, what did I achieve and what I can do better in 2017.

It feels like it was just a blink of an eye, yet another month just passed. I've promised more frequent updates but I still don't have enough time to do that.

You've probably noticed that I've been silent for about last month... If you waited for another _reading list_ episode - sorry, I'll return to posting from October. There were many things going on and even more will come.

First 10 days of July passed and I feel I need to report some of the details about the progress for last couple weeks. Summer is fully here. Days are quite long, weather's not bad, things are rolling.

Sometimes it's easy to loose the focus. I get it all the time. One week is great, then next one feels like a two steps back. Sometimes good, sometimes hard. What is important, is to keep pushing forward.

Damn, it's been more than a month since I've wrote about running. To be honest, it wasn't very intense. Only couple of short runs and one longer run trip. But this month I'm finally starting to feel it.

This entry will be different. It has been a long time struggle for me and all the time I thought that I’ve got this. That I have it under control and I’m making progress. But it’s not entirely true and here is why.

Sometimes the journey is slow. Sometimes it’s just feels like you’re in the same place. If you’ve ever felt this way, then welcome. This month was just slow. I mean, it wasn’t nothing. There was lot of work, some training here and there but no big progress. Let’s take a look and see why

So, the first month of 2016 was dedicated to some cleanup, clutter reduction and simplifying. I’ve set a goal, to get rid of one thing for every day and today 31 days passed. Here are the results.

Another year passed, another year starting. These 365 days are flowing very fast. Lots of things happened during the last year. I would like to share some stats about them, plus maybe give some look into the future.

Phew, this was busy month. It’s not even an end yet – still have one day to go – but I have to write this summary anyway. I doubt it will change that much tomorrow. So, lets get through.

Things are changing. I already see some progress. I wake up earlier and have more energy. My tasks are getting organized better and I am able to finish it faster.

Dear friends, this are one of the most powerful words I’ve ever heard. This is, of course, quote from famous Steve Jobs’ “Stay hungry, stay foolish” speech at Stanford university.

Na przestrzeni lutego zacząłem powoli wracać do biegania. Na razie było to dosyć nieregularnie i chyba całkiem bez celu. Nastał marzec, zima na razie odeszła a ja biegam trochę częściej.

We all have this. Put things aside, thinking tomorrow or someday. Just not now, not today. I say: Tomorrow I’ll go to gym. Next week I’ll finally start running again. I’ll update my blog when it will be ready…

One year ago I wrote about some of my resolutions for the upcoming 2014. Even though it seems like everyone is bashing new years resolutions, we may call them differently but we all have them. So last year I posted here four points. Let’s see how I’ve got them.

Kilka dni temu, 7-9 lutego miałem okazję organizować hackathon #hack4good 0.5 w Krakowie. I tyle wam powiem ten event był fantastyczny! Chyba wszystko przerosło w nim moje oczekiwania. Odespałem już noce i odkopałem się z robotą, dlatego mam chwilę czasu, żeby podzielić się swoimi przemyśleniami na ten temat.

New Year is couple hours ahead. Last chance to make your resolutions. But actually, the chance is always there. You just have to do it. I want to share here some of mine.

Some days ago I’ve got wonderful opportunity to participate in Hack4good hackathon in Dublin. The event was organized by Geeklist, the social platform for web developers. It was also a part of WebSummit conference in Dublin. The idea? Hack for charities, NGO organizations and help solve real world problems to make the world better.

So I say hello again. With almost year break from blogging I finally decided to go back. I need this. I need my website as a basic platform of expression.

Everyone needs this. When things go bad, when things go great. We need this place. To contemplate, to catch, to be. We need this place and we will find it. It’s there. Almost. But we will get there. I will.

After couple of months of idling, I finally decided to relaunch my blog again. Switching back from Tumblr to WordPress I won’t keep my old blog posts and resources since I don’t find them important. It was just random noise that doesn’t matter any more.
