May 2025: Book Release and Remote Work from France

May 2025: Book Release and Remote Work from France

May turned out to be a month of waiting — for green lights and go-aheads that didn’t quite come. Instead of sitting still, I accepted an invitation to work from Corsica, mixing Teams calls with exploring. And just as the month was ending, my long awaited new book finally arrived from the printer — along with the first enthusiastic comments from readers.

What’s really the safest path these days — one full-time job or several smaller ones? That’s one of the topics in this recap, along with how a photo from Paris can give the wrong impression.

The highlight of the month was sending a long-awaited book to print, fifteen years after I first started it. About time, if I want to keep my tagline I get things done.

We often talk about how to say no (and that’s something I really need to practice). But this month I wanted to focus on the times when saying yes has turned out well. Like twelve years ago, when I was asked to write a travel guide to Nice — and now I’m holding yet another updated edition in my hands. Or when I said yes to another EU-funded project, which meant I went to Brussels twice this month. Some choices really do age well.

A photo can be misleading — it may look like I’m on holiday, but behind the scenes I was juggling EU-funded projects and books. One of them explores how history changes depending on who holds the pen — a reminder that perspective matters. And everything I do keeps reinforcing my belief that European collaboration is more important than ever. From medieval forts to horse sledges in Norway, it was business as usual.

Dags för en svensk profil på LinkedIn

Dags för en svensk profil på LinkedIn

Jag gick med i LinkedIn på Hedenhös och runskriftens tid. På den tiden var det bara en liten klick IT-nördar som representerade Sverige i LinkedIn-världen. Eftersom målgruppen var anglosaxisk, utformade jag profilen därefter. Under senaste året har LinkedIn växt ordentligt i Sverige med 650 nya fräscha medlemmar per dag. Därför tycker jag det var hög tid för en svensk profil.
