May 2026 in review / Recos de mai 2026

My employment at Hyli ended on May 20. It's bittersweet news: layoffs are never fun, but I get great unemployment support and I want to use this opportunity to get out of the burnout spiral of the past few years by finally taking a real break, then take the plunge and go freelance as a content strategy consultant. 12 years after my previous (and first) freelancing experience, this is terrifying and exhilarating and I can't wait to get started! The biggest effort right now will be to get some […]

My May ‘26 in Review - Jan-Lukas Else

And just like that, another month has flown by. Time for my usual look back.

Before June starts, do this 10-minute audit: 1) What automated this month? 2) What wasted my time? 3) What generated revenue? 4) What made me happy? 5) One thing to remove from June. Most people jump into next month without reflection. Winners audit, adjust, then attack.

April 2026 in review / Récap d’avril 2026

Yet another super busy month, so no big personal update this month either. Things will settle down in June, I just have to keep it together until then! I've updated my Resources page, adding a few links: a file converter, a watermarking tool for batches of images, and a tool that generates an RSS feed of new book releases by authors you like. What I've read / Texte 📚 Books / Livres In English Fiction A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping, by Sangu Mandanna. Soft and sweet and funny […]

My April ‘26 in Review - Jan-Lukas Else

April is now over too, so it’s time to look back on the month. This time, I’ll keep it really brief.

March 2026 in review / Récap de mars 2026

It's been a hell of a month and a hell of a week (in a good sense!), so apologies for this monthly recap being the latest I've ever done to date!The weather is beautiful, I'm tired but in a great mood, I'm a year older (and I've reflected that in my monthly Now page update), and here are my recommendations for March 2026.Oh, and I've also finished my physical therapy for that broken foot from last October. We're still not fully there, but I'm really doing better and excited to start going for […]

Another month gone; time flies…

January 2026 in review / Récap de janvier 2026

Yet another intense month, so keeping the personal part short and going directly to recommendations. What I've read / Texte 📚 Books / Livres In English Fiction Vera Wong's unsolicited advice for murderers, by Jesse Q. Sutanto, was brilliant. It was also my first fiction audiobook (not counting World War Z since I had read it half a dozen times already) and a great one to start with. We Computers, by Hamid Ismailov, was fascinating. I really liked Sascha Stonach's The Dawnhounds, […]

February 2026 in review / Récap de février 2026

Le mois de février a été assez spécial. J'ai dû faire face à mes limites de façon assez brutale et abandonner quelques engagements et activités qui me tenaient à cœur. Et ensuite, le soleil est arrivé et j'ai retrouvé le goût du bonheur toute la semaine passée, avec jardinage pour la copropriété à la clé. Je suis désormais un pro du coup de pelle, et un bon début de bronzage avec ça ! Mon travail commence aussi à se stabiliser après deux ans de fonctionnement de « […]

And just like that, another month has flown by, admittedly a short one, but already the second in this “new” year. Time to take a quick look back.
