About Me and The Carefree Writer

Hello everyone. I’m Paul, a retired IT professional who started his writing career after an early retirement. As many things in life, I approach my writing on the power of being carefree.

After some early experiments, I started writing seriously on Medium at the end of 2023. In March 2025 I decided to share all things I learned about writing on my own website, which you are now looking at.

The Carefree Philosophy

The Carefree philosophy isn’t about being naive or ignoring responsibilities. Instead, it’s about cultivating a mindset that allows you to tackle life’s challenges, seize opportunities, and pursue passions with assurance and a feeling of comfort. This is accomplished not by chance or unrealistic hopes but through a purposeful and strengthening method founded on three essential pillars: Knowledge, Strategy, and Mindset.
