Sometimes, it’s all about a pen. The other day, after work, I went to the beach. I brought everything: towel, sand mat, fruit, water, my beach pillow, and my crossword booklet. Usually, I take a quick swim, then I do 30–40 minutes of crosswords. Then I head back home. Nice, right? So. I lay everything out: mat, towel, myself. I reach for the pen andwait. No pen. No pen?! Now, I’m not trying to be dramatic, but the whole plan was based on that pen. How do I do the crossword with no pen? I remember I used it the night before to write in my agenda and didn't put it back. 😭 What now? Go back home? But I know myself. If I go back, I won’t come back. So I stay. But I’m annoyed (no, I don’t want to use my phone. I work online all day, I don't want to stare at a screen on the beach too). I keep looking. And I find it! not my pen, but a pen. One that had already been left there (the beauty of being messy!) That one pen unlocked everything I had prepared. Without it, the whole setup was kinda useless. It made me think about tech. About tools. Sometimes, you have everything. But you’re missing just one tiny piece. And you don’t even realize it... until you do. Sometimes, “the pen” is a computer. Sometimes it’s a skill. Sometimes it’s a website. Sometimes it’s a Bitcoin account. Small things unlock big moves. Don’t underestimate what one tool can do....
