In my salaried years when it was low season I used to work on tasks that didn't get the attention they needed. One good example is with STOGO Onderzoek + Advies where I worked on developing a standard design for the reports, graphs and tables with a designer in low season. I am doing the same in my own company Databeet mostly during vacations or ‘Tussenpensioens’. But I am now in 2025 doing it even better I am allocating a set amount of hours each week on these tasks also in high season. In this guest blog written in 2013 I talk about some of these tasks. These are tasks that are not directly earning money, but on the long term they are.
