Current status => Building Principles

Welcome to this principled zone.

We live in a cycle: you wake up, get dressed, have breakfast, maybe take the kids to school, work eight hours in paradise (if you’re lucky), go back home, do household chores, maybe some exercise or leisure, go to sleep… and start again. Does that sound familiar?

Every area of daily life follows a cycle. From time to time something new and relevant happens, and once in a long while something of such magnitude that you never imagined it. Through repetition, you learn how to handle the most common situations in each part of your life. Maybe you warm up properly before exercising, or you buy only a few candies so your kids don’t eat too many and can still have a proper dinner.

These pre-thought, tested, and repeated ways of acting—something similar to rules—are principles. But here’s the key question: what would happen if you carefully observed your day-to-day life and identified principles that you could apply in each area to make it better?

Here’s a hint: everything changes. Principles become habits. You automate the process of identifying each situation and which principles apply. As a result, your responses tend to be more consistent and less influenced by the biases of the moment.

Is it easy? No.
Is it worth it? Absolutely.

Over time, I’ve been creating my own principles. I want to share them with you and humbly ask for your help in refining and validating them. Your experience or perspective might help confirm—or challenge—each one.

So please keep in mind that any comment is welcome. Principles evolve as you evolve: they are created when you face new situations, refined through new experiences, or sometimes left behind when a paradigm shift makes them obsolete.

You probably spend a lot of time in front screens and your eyes can get tired. I removed all blue lights and created a warm and minimalistic design, looking for a comfortable reading if you are returning to home on the subway, taking a break on your sofa, or on your desktop like the end of your working day. No distractions, no ads, few images; just we in this principled zone.
