-How do you got the time for all that she asked me after I told her about what I am doing. So what have I told her? Well, working at least 40 hours each week within the IT business., Being Vice Chairman/treasury of the Swedish Mountain Leader organization, workout six days a week, driving my own guiding company, training and assessing International Mountain Leaders and hiking with my husky twenty K each day, and reading non-fiction and fiction literature.  And yes, just that, I also give lectures on both leadership and other topics such as mountain safety etc. -How do you get time to all of that, she asked me. And to be honest she was not the first to ask this question, and it is just in those seconds I reflect over it by myself. First of all I must inform you all; I sleep very good, but I need my at least my seven hours sleep. This is one of my key I think. If possible I never waste my sleep. There is also four focus areas that I think I am always having in my mind.

The first is moral, and for me it means; if I have decided something I am doing it. And I am doing it even if the conditions are not the very best. That always give me good feedback in my mind. It strengthen me all times. Ok even if it was tough and I did not want to do it, I did it…

The next will be dedication, this area is really a challenge. If I am in to something I am really into it. Time after time I realize having this habit or inhabit. This can be a curse, both for me, but mostly for my family. Luckily me they got used of it…A good example, in 2016 I became member of the SFLO and ask the chair if they needed same help, the answer was: not at this time. Well, two years later I was elected in as Vice Chairman and treasury. Oups, how it can be…Dedication oh yes..

Effectiveness is my second name. For all who knows me a bit, you know this is one of my great skills. When I am sleep I sleep. When I am workout I am just doing that, with fully focus. If I am going to shower I do it just in maximum out of 1 minute and 38 s. I am not shower for being warm or anything else just for the reason of becoming clean, that’s it, nothing more nothing less. This meaning that in the morning knowing exactly what I am going to do during the day. Hm. Now you think, what happening if there will be a change that he can’t influence? You spot on there. Within the years I have becoming much better in adopting to the reality. But I am then replanning directly and adapt and solve the problem in my mind with a new plan.

Planned, yes I am planned. I will have things in order to achieve the best result. A good example is the planning for a trip in the mountains. Some of you have become familiar with my planning list, in minutes arrangements of the journey. But the planning also result in the that I being doing what I want to do and achieve. It is one out of my best tools for being as much as possible in new adventures and being prepared and in shape for it, both mentally and physically.

In the service (army) I learn all this with SOP (Standard Operation Procedures) you need to have routines for being able to do the planning. The Routines will be the putty that combines all this together…That is crucial for living a life like this😊…

So ok, now I think we will be on a wave divider here. You who think; shit this is what I would like to be. And you other who would think; what a boring and unspontaneous person this must be. I really like my life, and I have so far being able to do the things I wanted to do, and there is still more to come. But on the other side, I might be a good guide.  And you, with having a wife that is quite the opposite of much of my characteristics I am much more adaptable than you might think while you reading this. So my last word this week will be -It takes two to tango in a good life😊

See ya soon
