I think that’s only natural. This is what my life looks like these days—at least the digital side of my existence. It’s not entirely digital, nor is it solely about content creation.

I suppose my life has just become a mix of this and that.

I thought it was time to give a brief overview of everything I’m currently working on.

Project Map

I’ve created a diagram showing how I spend my days. Here it is:

In the image, the colors indicate the types of work I do, while the icons represent the roles I fulfill in a given project. An explanation of the icons is provided in the diagram below.

Let me outline the different types.

Business Improvement Consultant

Defining myself professionally after 30 years of work was quite a challenge.

But—in the end—I think I succeeded.

Essentially, my career path involved joining unfamiliar companies, getting to know their operations, spotting problems—large and small—and then setting to work on fixing them.

Often, this meant transforming or optimizing existing systems, or simply demonstrating how to use them correctly. At other times, it required a complete system overhaul. Consequently, I am equally at home interpreting small-scale systems and implementing major enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions.

Carrying out this work required me to learn and apply a vast array of specific skills. I never specialized too narrowly in any single area, but I possess a very broad perspective.

Above all, however, I have almost always acted as an interpreter. I understand the professional jargon used in various corporate departments (being an economist myself), and I also speak the language of IT. After all, I am an IT specialist. This allows me to grasp what is being discussed in the office and then translate it for the “tech geeks”—people just like me.

I am now building my own business based on this 30 years of experience.

How I BuilIT

I started this project at the beginning of the year. I wrote a few case studies and presented a couple of solutions for specific problems.

This written content is available on the online-dentist.hu website. I aim to continue with it, but it always ends up at the very bottom of my to-do list—a place I never actually reach.

Written Content

Right now, this blog is the most important thing. I love writing it. And although I don’t make any money from it—and I don’t think many people read my posts, either—I write for my own pleasure. It is a joy and a passion. It’s as simple as that.

I owe a lot to this blog. I feel much more comfortable in the role of a writer after penning 355 posts.

Books

I am currently working on a book. I had started working on several, but I had to decide which one to focus on. Even as it is, twenty-four hours a day isn’t enough…

My first book is about the day-to-day life of a digital nomad. I really enjoy this project; I can draw on a wealth of personal experience for it. I plan to produce the book in both Hungarian and English.

Zen Bible

This project combines writing and IT. I am creating a book about everyday life, but I also want to make it available as a mobile app. “Zen Bible” is just a working title for now; the final title will certainly be different.

I hope we live to see its completion.

My previous blog posts

I will soon be taking down the section of schulmann.hu dedicated to me. However, I intend to preserve the blog posts. I put a lot of work into them a few years ago, and I don’t want that effort to go to waste.

My short stories

One of my short stories has been published in print, another was written for a competition, and a third was a course assignment. I would like to showcase these, as well as the pieces I write in the future.

Video Content

The Miracle is Already Here [TMIAH]

I launched this project three months ago. It consists of short—26-second—videos that I upload daily to my YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn profiles.

Each video presents a brief scene. In them, I name a specific feeling and then offer a thought or a response related to that emotion. Finally, I end every video by saying, “I love my life very much.”

I view these videos as practice cards. Anyone who engages with them daily might eventually realize that it is not my feelings or my responses that matter most; what truly counts is the viewer’s own feelings and the thoughts associated with them. I hope my videos provide a valuable platform for viewers to recognize and articulate their own emotions.

It is my secret wish—though the secret is out now—that one day, in an unexpected moment, someone might sigh and say: “I love my life very much.”

Stories Behind The Miracle [SBTM]

I created this project as an offshoot of the “The Miracle Is Already Here” project. I haven’t published a single video from it yet, but I’ll be launching it soon.

There is a story behind every video. I have already shared quite a few of these stories with various people. Their feedback inspired the idea to reveal the secrets—the stories unfolding in the background—behind some of the videos.

I Chose Happiness [ICH]

The past tense is crucial to this project. It is not about becoming happy—not something for the future. I *am* happy because I chose to be. This is what I believe in. This is what I will talk about.

I will use my own voice and my own face to share what I have discovered within myself. I want to set an example for others. I hope that, in doing so, I can help a few people.

Through this project, I have embraced the title of “influencer”—a label I both received and gave to myself. This video series will launch soon.

These won’t be daily videos; it involves a tremendous amount of work, as I want to produce the content in Hungarian alongside English.

Happiness Interviews [HI]

I am passionate about exploring the subject of happiness.

This is what I tell strangers on the street, and then I ask if they’d be willing to take part in a short interview with me on the topic.

Three weeks ago, I started asking people five set questions about this subject. I fell in love with the process almost immediately. I really enjoy listening to their answers and observing their reactions—all while trying to contain my own excitement from behind the camera. The people I interview share incredible energy, emotions, and stories. And all it takes is five questions and three minutes.

As soon as I have the first 30 interviews ready, I’ll start uploading them to my social media channels.

Visual Content

Here are the photographs I took in the meditation pose.

I could say “for now,” but at the moment, I do not plan to create any further visual content or new fine art series.

Public Contributions

There is only one thing to mention here: being a Google Local Guide. I consider it important because I’m proud of it. I know—it’s an ego thing. LOL.

I love this activity, even though it brings no tangible benefit. Because I believe my content can help others—and bring them joy.

And besides, it’s nice to belong to a club. For me, right now, that club is Google.

Ways to Help

Volunteering and helping others have somehow always been a part of my journey.

I am also proud to be a blood donor, and to be able to join various organizations from time to time to help others.

A few weeks ago, I started working on a slightly more significant contribution. I’ll soon be launching two small projects: I aim to raise $500 each for two organizations that work with children.

I will share updates on these here on the blog once they are ready.

These are the things filling my life these days. I am grateful for my life and for the fact that I can be involved in so much—that I have the energy for it all. And sometimes, the time, too. Right now, I wouldn’t want to leave out a single thing, and I love that it’s this way.

I’m not working on anything else, I swear.

Then again, “I May Be Wrong”.

The post 355. | About my projects – What am I working on? first appeared on Digital Nomad Blog.

This is me.

This is what I have become in the last two years.

I didn’t plan this

When I started “The Miracle is Already Here” I adjusted my channels to this look. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook.

There weren’t many options in the job section on the Facebook page. I chose the content creator option.

I understood why I see this designation on many other people I know and don’t know.

However, I didn’t become a content creator here and then.

I’ve been creating digital content for 30 years. If the websites and Excel spreadsheets I’ve created had weight, then I could probably measure it in tons. But these digital contents don’t yet satisfy the definition stated in the introductory sentence.

I started creating real content in November 2024.

Writing: my blog

I have written 334 blog posts. About 450,000 words, as I noted in the post “A Year with Him”. As well as the fact that this is close to the content of the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I would like to add to this comment by saying that all 480,000 words of Tolkien are full of content. My 450,000 words have a different weight. I do not want to compare myself to him. We are only talking about quantity now.

And perhaps about commitment.

I do the creation of written content with the same desire, joy and passion from the first moment.

My blog is a collection of some of my stories and thoughts. Long form, my own space, I determine what and how I talk about.

Photos: Silence in Motion

This spring I started creating a so-called fine art series.

I don’t do this as dedicatedly as I do writing, but I haven’t stopped, I just take longer breaks.

The meditation image series is as much a part of my content creation work as writing.

Audiovisual content: The Miracle Is Already Here

Before the project was born, I sometimes made summary videos.

But this project was born to be fundamentally different.

I work on it based on a concept, I have a specific goal with it.

I publish the videos regularly. Every day.

So far, I have published 62 26-second videos on my 5 social channels.

This means 2 GB of data and 27 minutes of exposure. In terms of playback time, it may not be much. Analyzing its message and regularity, it may be more.

Over time, the truth about this love child will become clear.

It means a lot to me, I create it in a self-identical way, without compromises or expectations.

I select moments from the world and attach meaning to them. This is classic audiovisual content production.

Public Content Set: Google Maps

Although it is just a hobby for me to contribute information to the community, I have already generated a lot of content here.

I have placed 253 opinions, 2,400 photos, 133 videos and 1,200 answers on the map.

I will continue this work, as I have done so far.

There is no goal, no expectation, I simply love doing it.

“Old” form: books

I’ve mentioned a few times that I’ve started writing a book.

I’m currently working on three books.

To be more precise, there’s a fourth one, but it will exist alongside a phone app.

I can’t talk about those right now.

We’ll see what the future brings.

New form

A new direction for me has also been born in the past few days.

This is still so fresh that it’s too early to talk about it.

I just wanted to remember it so that I don’t get bored.

The decision

There was no decision.

I didn’t start this creative journey to become a content producer.

I did my thing, and then suddenly it turned out that it had a name.

Summary

A message from the past arrives unexpectedly and shows me how much I've changed. A request for help, boundaries, and a question for the future.

On Saturday night, I had a special experience.

A friend from my youth wrote to me. The friend with whom we spent a lot of time together, but then life swept us apart.

He appeared not as a shadow, but as a messenger from the past.

Now I can see why he reappeared just now.

Summer meeting

In the early 90s, we were together a lot and were good friends. Then everyone went their separate ways and we didn’t keep in touch anymore.

We haven’t met often in the past thirty years. Maybe only three times.

These meetings always followed the same scenario. After the brief introduction of how are you and how are you, I would have liked to continue the conversation I had started, but the old friend said goodbye with the phrase “unfortunately, I have to go now, but I will call you anyway”.

Then he never called.

In the summer, on one of my last days in Hungary, we ran into each other again. There we deviated from the scenario described above. Although he was still in a hurry and said the closing lines of the scene, something happened.

With the realization of “I’m in a hurry, but I don’t want to have a quarter of an hour to talk,” he finally stayed with me and we talked for a while. We also updated each other’s phone numbers and he promised to call.

I didn’t really believe it. So it’s understandable that I was surprised when his message flashed on my phone on Saturday.

So you’ve made it this way

Our conversation started with his inquisitive question. “How are you?”

I started telling him about my experience, and his first reaction was this sentence: “So you’ve made it this way.”

It’s an interesting contrast to how differently this kind of surprise from a dear friend of mine, who regularly reads my writings, had affected me two days earlier: “It’s unbelievable that you’ve taken the plunge.”

It was strange to feel the vibrations in that sentence months after I had physically started.

I didn’t set out to transform my life to be an example. But this thought had come up very often in many conversations over the past year, so I suddenly accepted this role.

This thought was also an important part of Saturday’s experience, which is why I had to deviate from the conversation a little.

I am happy and happy to tell you how I am, but I try to leave space for my conversation partners. So after a few sentences I asked the question: “How are you? Have you changed since the summer?”

Let’s leave it at that…

The above answer already made me aware of the seriousness of the situation.

He’s in trouble…

In serious trouble, the following sentences made this clear without any special explanation.

I have many friends whose problems I have known for a long time, I see peaks and valleys that have been going on for years. Deepening health problems, existential crises are shared with me in confidence by old and new acquaintances.

This situation was completely different now. Simply because it came very suddenly, without any precedent. It almost crashed down on me.

And it is also different because I now see the world and my role in it with different eyes.

The feeling that someone wants help appeared in me immediately and clearly. Along with the warning that I should behave as a professional and not as an old friend.

There were many sentences uttered in the old friend’s cry for help that could have immediately dragged me into the vortex. Yet it didn’t happen that way.

The fact that certain sentences were mine 10+ years ago no longer shakes my present. With some sentences, I specifically remembered how many years ago this question was for me too, and how many years ago I let him go.

It was a very comforting feeling for me that – as I have so often before – I still feel the other person, that my typical empathy works, but I definitely react differently.

Tell me! How did you manage to get out of this?

After the long description of the case, this sentence suddenly appeared.

The unspoken request for help became explicit.

This sentence had already begun to take shape a few lines earlier. After all, I am a role model. My friend introduced the above question this way: “I envy” your attitude towards things.

It was not by chance that I left out the mention of specifics from this writing. From this point on, my hands are tied not only by friendly discretion, but also by professional etiquette.

According to my intentions, we will start working together in a cautious way.

A special experience

If I stopped here, the experience would be special.

For me, however, it became so for something else.

Lately, I have been working on repositioning my functioning and my place in the world in my head and for some time now on a practical level.

I believe and feel that I have gained a strong presence in my own life through the experiential path. I believe and feel that I can help others find this as well.

But I allow myself to have doubts and fears about whether I will embark on the path I have seen.

And then a “Tell me! How…” question comes and tips the scales in a special way.

This experience has become special among my many “Synchronicity” experiences.

A voice spoke from my past into my present.

And it spoke to the future.
