I had four cups of coffee today. Too much even for me.

I met Minami, she is going to Amsterdam tomorrow. I had a Chai Latte. She was taking photos of me to send to Alvaro. We met at the Tstutaya book lounge in Shinjuku. She took me to the L’Occatine café and I must confess they serve incredible food there. I also bought a Japanese vocabulary book.

I met Maika again. She took me to the 7th floor of the Tsutaya book shop in Shibuya. On the 7th floor of the most well-known book shop of Japan there is a quiet coffee shops full of magazines from all over the world. Might be my new favourite secret place.

15:00

I feel so afraid and so lost. But I am trying to tidy up my time and focus on the things I really love.

Today I collected lists of books, design books and places to visit. I also want to do things away from the computer. I feel like the digital medium and the internet don’t allow me to relax. I’m too connected to my friends and to work when I’m the computer or on the phone. I feel like my brain runs on a lazy mode when I’m using a digital device and I find it really hard to switch off from that mode.

22:00

I interviewed with GitHub today for a Product Designer role.
