I'm trying something a little new on my blog. I've posted an article with an in-depth reaction to the tagged book along with audio of me reading the post, for those who'd like a podcast or audiobook effect (it's about the pace of a podcast but with just one voice like most audiobooks):
http://imperfecthappiness.org/2024/12/10/on-mastery/

If you visit the article, please let me know what you think!

Texreader I enjoyed the article very much. You are quite the writer and I love your passion. I didn‘t listen to it because it‘s too late and I‘m in bed. 2w
Cuilin Fabulous read, as someone with ADHD I can relate to the stepping away. I may check out the book yet I don‘t know what I want to master right now. 🤷‍♀️ thanks for sharing. 1w
ImperfectCJ @Texreader Thank you! I used to write a lot more but got discouraged and stopped doing much for a while. I could have put writing on my "stepped away" list, too. :-) 1w
ImperfectCJ @Cuilin Thank you! The book is very corporate/traditional career-oriented, so I'm not sure how universally helpful it would be. It's possible it just hit me at the right time. I'm not sure if the things I want to master will stay the things I want to master, but I figure that starting in that direction might be a good way to go for me. We shall see, I guess! 1w

Like many books in this genre, this could be a lot shorter, and the quote selection is sloppy (there is one hilariously misattributed to Mark Twain), but chapters 15 and onward on mastery and scheduling to support mastery are quite helpful. Nothing groundbreaking, but the concepts are ordered in such a way that they click for me. Very man-oriented, very geared towards a specific kind of career, but I think it's translatable to my situation.

Birthday bathroom selfie. In typical grown-up fashion, it's pretty much a regular day, but I'm experienced enough that I've structured my regular days with playing and singing, so it's pretty okay. And since I have a December birthday, I've been saying I'm my new age for 6 months, so that part's not a surprise, either! (Or at least not a huge surprise.) Almost done with the tagged book, which I'm finding pretty helpful after a rocky start.

Silo likes when my quest to live a purposeful life intersects with his life's purpose. He's pretty sure I should be blocking out more time for cozy lap snuggles.

I don‘t leave the house on Black Friday anymore, but Small Business Saturday still calls to me. A little yarn from Charlotte Yarn and some books I‘m really excited to read from Park Road Books. 💖

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Good choices! I love Malabrigo ❤️ 3w
DGRachel @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I haven‘t worked with wool yarn before and there are so many gorgeous colors out there! 🤩 3w

Hence it is only the enlightened ruler and the wise general who will use the highest intelligence of the army for purposes of spying and thereby they achieve great results. Spies are a most important element in war, because on them depends an army‘s ability to move.

This was just meh. But it might be ok if you're a new manager and didn't already read dozens of these. Julie is a Facebook veteran and does talk about some of her more senior coworkers but overall 🤷

This is one of those almost too crazy to be true stories! Don‘t read it if you need to boost your faith in humanity!

Great insight into leadership and management. I admit I was surprised by how much the author loves working in restaurants. I have never worked in food service but everyone I know who has didn‘t love it and viewed it as a job to pay the bills. This made me see how it could be enjoyable.

This is the feedback model we use at work. Some people are better at it than others. There are tons of suggestions and I definitely recommend this. Especially if you're a people manager.
