Do you guys track calories? I did Keto for a month (urine strips showed deep ketosis) and felt great but barely any weight loss. Any tips?

You need to track calories. I like to use MyFitnessPal.

It is possible to out eat any dietary pattern.
Input:
My hack if I creep back up, is make eating boring for 3-4 days. 2-3 eggs breakfast and lunch, Olive oil based salads for dinner, with modest protein. But eggs and olive oils are my go to for reset.

Output:
Fasted walking, to deplete liver and muscle glycogen, if it’s an output.

13hrs min fasted.

Then, sleep... the RiteSleep method, Dr. Gominack, hugely changed my eating/ energy.

Yes you need to track calories. In general, a caloric deficit is needed to lose weight. Calculate your Base Metabolic Rate (BMR - the amount of calories your body burns doing nothing) using an online calculator and then set a intake deficit. You’ll lose weight this way with or without Keto. Keto just helps to speed the process some. I use Cronometer, which is a great app for Keto because it tracks net vs total carbs for you.

Does relocation to touristic cities (workations) really work? I have experience working summer jobs in foreign countries and was thinking about doing that now, or at least plan for next year.

I am curious about the impact it has on the work/life balance as well as the mental health, after several years of doing the same position in different companies.

I let the shame spiral get the better of me this week. Realized that I wasn’t going to be able to meet a deadline because I’d mismanaged my time and the project was more complex than I though. Rather than admit the mistake and suggest a new deadline, I just kept saying I’d send it tomorrow/later/so on. And then I stayed up basically three days straight working, which has only made me slower and more inefficient. So I’m still not done and now I’m in the pits of anxiety and exhaustion hell. FML.
