About Me

Hello world. This is my bio.

I studied economics in Rotterdam at the Erasmus University and psychology in Heerlen at the Open University. I hold a master degree in both studies.

For the last 10 years I have been heavily involved with issues of time management and life management so I know this area well. I know what works and what doesn't! I'm going to share with you everything that I've learned about these topics as well as means of getting and keeping your life on your desired track.
