When I started The Time Capsule, I did not have a perfect plan for it. I simply knew that there were things I wanted to write down—things I had learned, things I was still trying to understand, and things I wanted my children to find one day.
Over time, the blog somehow divided itself into four different parts. At first glance, they may not seem to have much in common. Obesity, business, medicine and letters to my children. An unusual combination?
Well, it is my combination.
These are the things that matter to me. So, let me explain what you will find here.
Fatboy
Let us start with the obvious one.
Fatboy is about obesity, weight loss, food addiction, and my own repeated attempts to become slightly less fat.
In this sub-blog, I write about metabolism, psychology, habits, lifestyle, and all the small decisions that eventually become a very big problem.
The purpose is practical. I want to find a realistic way forward for myself. And if a few other fat guys happen to be walking in the same direction, perhaps we can lose some weight together.
The Business Mindset
When I was a child, nobody taught me how money worked. Nobody explained inflation, assets, investing, entrepreneurship, or why working hard does not automatically mean building a better future.
The Business Mindset is where I try to understand it all.
Most importantly, it contains the lessons I wish someone had explained to me. I am writing them down for Laura and Luca, so that one day they can start their journey with a little more knowledge than I had.
Will they listen to me? Probably not. They are my children, after all. But at least the information will be here when they need it.
Time Capsules
This is probably the most personal part of the blog.
Time Capsules are messages for my children. They are stories about our lives, memories of ordinary days, things they said, things I felt. Perhaps some of these messages will only make sense twenty or thirty years from now.
Medical Education
I have spent most of my adult life studying and practising medicine. Unfortunately, medical information is often presented in a way that is either unnecessarily complicated or completely detached from what happens in a real consultation.
This section is my attempt to do things differently.
Medical Education contains practical and up-to-date information based mainly on European guidelines and on general and family medicine as a specialty.
Why Put All of This Together?
Because knowledge disappears surprisingly quickly.
This is not a collection of final answers. It is a record of what I saw, what I understood, and who I was at this particular moment in time.
