Yasmin Vantuykom: What our customers taught us #69

Yasmin Vantuykom: Newsletter #69 We listen. We learn. We build. July 2026 This Week on "Scrollaholics"... One of the biggest advantages of being a startup? We don’t have to spend six months discussing an idea in five different committees. We can listen, learn and improve fast. Over the past months, we’ve had hundreds of conversations with HR teams, leaders, families and early Quyet users. Every workshop, every meeting room installation and every product delivered has generated valuable...

Yasmin Vantuykom: Newsletter #68 People aren't suffering from a lack of productivity. They're suffering from a lack of presence. July 2026 This Week on "Scrollaholics"... Everyone eventually runs into the same problem. Not enough hours? Not really. The real challenge is deciding where to put your attention. At Quyet we're raising investment, launching a new collection, developing new features, talking to customers, improving the product based on feedback, building partnerships and growing...

Yasmin Vantuykom: Newsletter #67 Peace is not something you find when life becomes calm. It is something you keep creating while life is full. June 2026 This Week on "Scrollaholics"... There are seasons in work where everything seems to happen at once. At Quyet, we are in one of those seasons. We are preparing the launch of a new collection. That means materials, samples, colors, steel, felt, photoshoots, tiny decisions that suddenly feel very big, and the constant question: is this still...

Yasmin Vantuykom: Newsletter #66 No one hands you the next step. You make it, and then you take it. April 2026 This Week on "Scrollaholics"... Someone told me last week: “You’re relentless. I see you everywhere” And I haven’t stopped thinking about it. Because I think they meant it as a compliment. But from the inside, relentless does not always feel beautiful. It feels like waking up every day knowing there is no plan B. No one is coming to hand you the next step. No one is going to say:...

Yasmin Vantuykom: Newsletter #65 Belief is what you do before the numbers agree. February 2025 This Week on "Scrollaholics"... I didn’t write a newsletter lately because work has been… loud. Not “busy” loud. More like existential spreadsheet loud. Because here’s the part nobody romanticizes: it takes a very specific kind of belief to keep going when the math isn’t rewarding you yet. When you’re doing a lot, reinvesting everything, and the numbers don’t reflect the effort. When progress is...

Yasmin Vantuykom: Newsletter #64 Not everything needs celebrating. But progress deserves tracking. December 2025 This Week on "Scrollaholics"... Since 2020, I’ve been keeping a Tada-Da list next to my To-Do list. It’s a simple habit: capturing what has actually been delivered, especially the things that, a year earlier, were still just plans. Here’s what made the list recently: A real leap into a new space. From concept to physical product, and from solo building to an expert community,...

Yasmin Vantuykom: Newsletter #63 The new status symbol? Being offline. November 2025 This Week on "Scrollaholics"... Offline is the new luxury. At least, that’s what Vogue says. Brands are leaning into analog experiences, tactile materials, and slower ways of living, because apparently, scrolling less is suddenly chic. Tote bags filled with books, puzzles, and journals are trending on TikTok. A flip phone or “no followers” status? Instant cool. Wearing yesterday’s micro-trends online is...

Yasmin Vantuykom: Newsletter #62 Experience offline. November 2025 This Week on "Scrollaholics"... Our first Quyet X Scrollaholics event! A free breakfast session next Thursday (27/11) in The Hoxton - Brussels. Why? Because I want to gather our community offline, make them experience what offline can bring you, especially in the workplace. What to Expect: Welcome breakfast in a beautiful setting. A keynote by me, I'll share my personal story of breaking free from screen addiction. I'll offer...

Yasmin Vantuykom: Newsletter #61 Your phone is a resource, not a way to kill time. November 2025 This Week on "Scrollaholics"... It’s finally here, my new book Scrollaholics is officially out, now in bookstores and available online. What began as a personal journey, a 100 day challenge, to rethink my own relationship with screens and constant connectivity, has grown into a practical guide enriched by the insights of experts who helped deepen and sharpen the message. Next to the launch, I’m...

Workaholics: Newsletter #60 Grounded in green, made for the moments that matter. November 2025 This Week on "Workaholics"... This past year has been an incredible learning journey, one of exploration, refinement, and growth. With Quyet, I went through more than 10 prototypes before we finally reached the version that felt truly right. Along the way, dozens of colors came and went, but the olive green instantly stood out. It became my coup de cœur: a calm yet characterful tone that feels just...
