Logo designer Tomáš Vachuda has created hundreds of logos on a freelance basis and is, among other things, the co-author of the logo of the Czech Hockey Association. But he worked up to 100 hours a week and inevitably burned out. This was followed by a radical professional turnaround, which his new book Time Creation describes. Today, he is an avid creator of (free) time and jokes that if Elon Musk had taken breaks from work, we would have been on Mars long ago. ???? START FOLLOWING US / @navolnenozecz ????
