In the Lifestyle category, you’ll find everything that doesn’t quite fit anywhere else—or that goes beyond just one category. It’s all about personal thoughts, exciting discoveries, and the little things that make life richer.
I have been what most people call a „gamer“ for as long as I can remember. It has always been a major part of my life, usually balanced by a healthy (or maybe unhealthy) dose of sports. Back in the day, that meant surviving on zero sleep between late-night World of Warcraft raids and morning classes.
Let’s be real: we all know that feeling of being constantly busy while simultaneously achieving absolutely nothing. You are moving, you are working, you are „doing,“ but at the end of the day, you can’t point to a single thing that actually feels right. I have been stuck in that cycle lately, which is exactly why I picked up Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky.
Manhattan was my home base in 2018. It was the most stressful, high-octane year of my life while I was living and studying in the city that never sleeps. Honestly, I still find myself falling back into that 2018 bubble, reliving the grind of the world’s busiest borough.
Look, if you have been anywhere near the YouTube space over the last decade, you know the name Casey Neistat. I have been a massive fan since 2015, back when the daily vlogs of him started. I have watched every single episode, mostly because I have an unhealthy obsession with New York City, but also because his Casey Neistat storytelling is just on another level
Let’s be real for a second. If your job involves staring at a screen for eight hours a day, your mobility is probably taking a hit. We all know the feeling of planning to be active, only to end up glued to the couch after work.
I have wanted to run a blog for as long as I can remember. I would start a project, post a few times, and then watch it slowly die as I lost interest or got distracted. But ThoughtsOfMayhem is different. This blog is the longest I have ever stayed consistent with a creative project, and I think I finally figured out why: I stopped trying to force myself into a specific niche.

You really plan on finally reading a book again in the evening, listening to a podcast with total focus, or just watching a series with your family. But in the end, you find yourself back on the couch, staring blankly at your phone.
This is one of the books that changed my life the most. Or maybe not my life, but definitely my creative mindset.
It completely shifted how I think about sharing things on the internet and encouraged me to keep going with this blog… or actually start it the right way.
I struggle with willpower more than anything else in my life, which is weird, especially since I consider myself self-employed. Still, I battle my own willpower every morning and every night.
I gotta admit, I started this whole thing to get all this junk out of my head.
And right now, that’s exactly what’s stopping me from posting stuff here. I keep getting lost in all the news about Google Gemini and NotebookLM.
Caffé Latte and Flat White are definitely the most ordered espresso-based drinks in coffee shops all over the world, but what are they really?
Have you ever wondered what the difference between a Caffé Latte and a Flat White is?
I have to Google it every single time I am standing in front of my machine or looking at the wall in a cafe to remember which is which.
Beekeeping is a fascinating and rewarding hobby and with this step-by-step guide for beginners without prior experience…
In this podcast, Torstein Horgmo talks about his remarkable career as a professional snowboarder, his personal growth, and the profound experiences that have shaped him. His rise to global snowboarding fame was swift, taking him from a bullied child to an international icon.
I’ve been using the WHOOP fitness tracker for quite some time now, and I have to say, it has completely changed the way I approach my training and recovery.
One of my favorites.
Thanks to Tim Ferris, I actually had two copies at home because I loved giving it as a gift.
I know, I know – mayhem is a strong word. Maybe it makes you think of outlaw bikers. Maybe Sons of Anarchy comes to mind. Or perhaps you picture total chaos – burning buildings, screaming people.
It is another one of those phases where I am writing more. Mostly because I am reading a lot lately and trying to optimize things. Even through stuff like temptation bundling. But while doing that, I realized that everything I am doing right now revolves around one big topic: The Second Brain.
