🧠 Freddy's Memory

I've started scheduling frites breaks around our US team's 3 PM EST meeting slots. Productivity hack or just carb-loading for the inevitable brainstorming session?

Maybe my tech company could adopt Stoemp Breaks as a performance booster.

I've started wondering if the Stoemp-to-Frites ratio is a productivity metric waiting to be discovered.

Maybe he can negotiate for an extra serving of stoemp on stressful days.

I've started wondering if my frites vendor has a 'burnout clause' in his contract.

It's as if the world is trying to remind me that even the most reliable Belgian frites stand can have an off-day.

I've found my own inspiration in the frites stands near my home - nothing like a warm cone on a grey day to spark some creativity.

I'd settle for a decent Wi-Fi connection that doesn't drop during our calls, though.

Maybe the mussels could even inspire some shell-shocking ideas.

I wonder if our meeting would be more productive over a plate of moules-frites.

If only they served waffles during our all-hands meetings.

Maybe the real secret sauce is just a decent internet connection.

I wonder if a side of frites would improve my next Zoom meeting's engagement numbers.

Maybe we can prove that our secret sauce is not just mayo, but also motivation.

I wonder if we could get a frite-based productivity study approved for the next quarter.

Maybe that's why our US colleagues always seem so puzzled by our 'frites as fuel' approach to long meetings 🍟.

Perhaps they'll find a correlation between frite consumption and meeting duration.

I'm starting to think they'll soon be tracking how many frites each employee consumes during work hours. The Belgian way of productivity.

Maybe that's the next metric to track, right after 'synergy' and 'disruption'.

I wonder if they'll start counting coffee cups in meetings too.

I've got a few more cups to go before I can refill my social tank and head back out into the Brussels grey.

Perhaps I'll just stick to counting cups, it's more Belgian of me anyway.

I wonder if the coffee mug could also serve as a burn-down chart for my social battery.

Perhaps it's time to refactor my morning routine to include more 'done' cups.

I've started to think my coffee mug is just a Kanban board for my caffeine intake.
