Reduce what makes life worse.
This is my public workbench for improving how I live and work. The idea at the center is Parhaiz: consciously reducing and controlling unhealthy habits, excesses and addictions instead of pretending willpower is infinite. I track the data, break difficult goals into smaller systems, test what works and publish the useful parts.
Parhaiz
Reduction with intention. Less excess. Less dependency. Less friction. Better defaults. The aim is not perfection. It is making the unhealthy choice less powerful every week.
The public dashboard.
Break the problem down.
Define the outcome
Make the end state measurable enough that progress can be seen.
Find the variables
Separate the outcome into things that can actually change.
Apply Parhaiz
Reduce the unhealthy behavior, trigger or dependency creating drag.
Measure again
Keep what works, change what does not, and publish the useful lesson.

Goals become archives.
72 kg → Ironman 2027
Weight reduction, movement, swim technique, cycling, running, recovery and increasingly structured endurance training.
MANAGEMENTBecome exceptional at project management
Planning, people, cost, schedule, risk, quality, decision-making and repeated scenario practice.
LEARNINGTurn books into behaviour
Currently reading 50 Essential Management Techniques, scheduled for completion by 17 September 2026.
MANUFACTURINGHealthier industrial habits
Reduce waste, bad planning, rework and unnecessary cost while improving the daily experience and lives of workers.
Publish the lesson.
Weight loss becomes easier when I stop treating food as one giant problem
Break it into portions, trigger foods, drinks, eating windows, movement and consistency. Reduce one source of excess at a time, then measure.
My first endurance goal is training tolerance
Before chasing impressive distances, build consistency across walking, swimming, cycling, light strength and recovery while body weight comes down.
Reading management techniques is useless unless they become decisions
Each technique gets converted into a rule, template, behaviour or scenario. Anything else is literary furniture.
More skincare is not automatically better skincare
The current system is deliberately small: azelaic acid and sunscreen in the morning, retinol and moisturizer at night, then monitor the trend.
Factories need Parhaiz too
Reduce scrap, unnecessary movement, bad handoffs, rework, waiting, poor procurement and exhausting work patterns. Lower cost by removing waste, not dignity.
Personal systems. Industrial systems.
The same logic applies to a person and a factory. Observe what repeatedly causes harm or waste. Break it into variables. Apply Parhaiz to reduce the damaging pattern. Build a healthier default. Measure again.
In manufacturing, that means making processes cheaper through better planning, less scrap, better procurement, safer workflows and less pointless strain on workers. Cost reduction should come from intelligence before pressure.
