#Falling Day 8: #DearDiary made me want to share photos of my new bullet journal - little acts of creation, labor of love with colors and customizable grids with these stencils and stickers. Super stress reliever.
pickThis was okay. Some good pointers for time management and accomplishing life goals.
I‘m happy that I have a better place to put my bathroom stuff now. Before, I was using the piece of furniture in between the bookshelves and that was fine but it wasn‘t enough room for everything I have so I decided to use these built in shelves in the second bedroom for my stuff. It‘s going to take me awhile to get used to this. I don‘t know why my mom and I didn‘t think of this before but it looks a lot more organized in the second bedroom now.
pickThis is a soft pick for me. I enjoyed the author's writing but agree with other reviewers that it could have been covered in a long essay. In a nutshell -- do fewer things, work at your own pace, and focus on quality.
📸 I liked the section about Jewel passing on a million dollar contract to focus on her growth as a performer first. Hence the picture of her. That dress is bananas! 😂
"In general, people are often too focused on their own problems to care about how you're solving your own."

pickI started this in Spanish and finished it in English because I read too slowly in Spanish. I'm not sure if that's ironic or not. Newport writes in this book that he aims to write in a style that's a cross between Stephen Covey and Malcolm Gladwell, and I think he's succeeded. He presents anecdotes from which he derives hypotheses about productivity, and then he offers possible solutions to reduce performative productivity. It's interesting.
In the midst of a fun but exhausting weekend, I have a lull between entertaining responsibilities. If I could nap, I would, but instead I'm drinking my coffee and trying to get my brain to focus on the Spanish translation of the tagged. I'm at an interesting point in my understanding of Spanish where reading is easier than I expect, but every now and then I get stuck with no idea how the words go together. This book might take me forever to read.
