Twins = sleep craving

We got twins October 2011 so the main obsession was to get sleep... :)

Period: October 2011 - March 2012 (when things got a bit better)

Obsession #5: Donations by speaking

I did a lot of speaking at conferences and started to get a lot of interest to come and talk at companies and events. I felt I needed some kind of "threshold" to make sure they really were serious, but I didn't feel that I wanted money. So - I realized that I could require of them to donate money for a good cause instead. It wasn't all smiles as it was not trivial for them to set-up (and all asked me to invoice and that I could donate), but eventually all accepted it. So far I have done 15 speeches, averaging close to 11000 SEK (+ four columns at about 1000 a piece).


Period: 2010-06 to 2012-05 (not saying it is over, but it felt like the "obsession" is)
