Welcome to Litsy!

“A sociopath is often described as someone with little or no conscience. I‘ll leave it to the psychologists to decide whether Holmes fits the clinical profile, but there‘s no question that her moral compass was badly askew.”

#bookspin for April done! Really compelling and thought-provoking read on the power of diversity, recommended.

Great read

I was on Kanopy recently and I discovered that PBS documentaries are on there. I typed PBS into the search function and they have so many things from PBS. This is just some of the things from PBS they have but I was sitting here scrolling through all of this and it goes on forever. I never reached the end of the results. I‘m glad I discovered this because I love PBS. PBS has a Roku app too. My mom cut off the cable so I can only stream PBS now.

⚠️“The moment I start one of these 3 behaviors- blaming, complaining, or gossiping- I become negative. It is a sign of ignoring what I am responsible for- MY LIFE. Negativity is like pollution. It pollutes the mind and relationships.”

Following up Deep Work with this book which was also assigned to me at my job.

This book is a solid work on putting more value on your time and spending it on projects, goals, etc. that really matter and reducing the time spent on fluff. It's geared towards knowledge workers (professors, marketing reps, etc.) but has plenty of applications for any walk of life. A primary goal of Newport is to help his readers that they're more capable of effective time management than we feel like.

I was really sad that I wasn‘t reading fiction, but I loved this self help book. 💚

I applied to the Amazon Publishing Creator Program and they accepted me. Yay! I don‘t know what social content inspiration means but I‘m glad they‘re giving me a chance.
