Hi, I’m Ana.

For 15 years, I managed translation projects, coordinated teams and resolved client complaints. On paper, I was productive. In practice, I was busy in a way that left very little room for anything else.

Somewhere in my early 40s, I started paying attention to a different kind of question — not how do I get more done, but what is actually worth doing?

That question led me here.

About Taste of Calm

I wanted a space where I could write about everything that interests me and everything that benefits my life.

I write about three things:

Habits — the small daily routines that determin your future in many ways

Spending — specifically, how to stop spending on things that don’t matter and start being more deliberate about where your money goes.

Growth — I read self-help and psychology books and share my honest reviews here.

A bit more about me

I live in Serbia with my husband and two kids. I graduated in English Language and Literature, started as a freelance translator, and eventually built my own business.

I read constantly, fiction and non-fiction. I enjoy nature, spending time outdoors, and watching my cats napping on the couch.
