Margins are where the real work happens.
Not the crowded calendar, but the quiet pause before the meeting begins. Not the sprint to send another email, but the moment to decide if the email is even worth sending.
I was reminded this week of a street musician playing in the rain. No crowd, no applause — yet he played with full presence. His posture, not the music, was the lesson: show up fully even when no one is watching.
You don't control external recognition.
You do control whether, when and how often you show up anyway.
This might be the single most important KPI.
You can ask:
How hard am I working?
Did I leave anything in the tank?
How would I grade my effort?
If the goal is to work as hard as you possibly can, then the only real output we have is who we become along the way.

It’s in the margins — the overlooked spaces — where magic happens, dividends add up and mastery compounds.
Here is what stood out to me this week:
🤝 Relationships
Not all effort is appreciated equally: A two-hour cooking session and a takeaway can have the same effect. What counts is how you make people feel and the atmosphere you create. Work on the right stuff.
🚀 Personal
You are as free as you feel: It's your feelings that paint the picture you see. You choose the colours, shapes and angles.
🏆 Question of the Week
What would you pursue if you had more time?
Sometimes the margin that matters most is the first hour of the day.
👉 I’d love to hear from you:
What would you like to do more of but don't find the time?
Reply and share — Sometimes a little extra margin is all it takes to make life better today.
Till next time.
Best,
