Still Early: 2025 in review

I've just finished my yearly reflection in the journal. While I have it as a fresh stream of thoughts in my head, let me now share where things are for me at the moment without any filter.

This is a regular reflection that I do every 10 weeks (and hopefully 10 videos too), so let's dive into it.

Instead, I turned it into a blog post because it got banned everywhere. This is a launch day of my 2 Apple Watch apps and I couldn't be happier!
