Reading Challenge

Reading Challenge
            Reading: A keystone habit to facilitate a happy, productive life. Yet, it’s extremely difficult to read consistently, for a long period of time, about topics of seemingly little interest.
In the womb a hater of reading, I struggled in reading classes throughout my academic career. However, I am determined to change this, and I hope to share my own experiences and interpretations of a new challenge on this blog.
            As readers, I hope you can engage with this content, allowing yourself to become more productive students, co-workers, authors, bed-makers, etc.…or to maybe just start reading. Whatever your case may be, I hope you and I can grow to be productivity wizards along the way. In addition, I hope you and I can become new accountability partners. So, if you engage in this challenge, I would love to know how many books you would like to read throughout the 2020 year (Jan. 1-Dec. 31) and your experiences and insights into what setting and achieving goals is like. Once again, thanks for tuning in.
By the way, my goal is 20, so hold me to it. I’m counting on you.

To Wear a Mask or Not to Wear a Mask

Many Americans have struggled over the topic of wearing masks. Many have fought diligently to convince other mask-wearing Americans that they are ineffective in handling and protecting from the current Coronavirus outbreak. Some say that only N95 masks (surgical masks with a high-level micron filter) work. However, in a public setting, a cloth mask is certainly shown to better than no mask.A report from the Mayo Clinic (2020) states: Countries that required face masks, testing, isolation, and social distancing early in the pandemic seem to have had some success slowing the disease's spread. Common sense also suggests that some protection is better than none. But wearing a cloth face mask will lose any value unless it's combined with frequent hand-washing and social distancing (para. 9).   So, with this, I urge you all to help in any way to slow the spread of this outbreak. If you have any questions or concerns, comment or email me. In addition, I hope that you can help donate N...

Book Update

  Book Update Though I have not been upkeeping my habit of writing my book, I have picked up the slack during my recent period of self-isolation, and I went onto the website Beeminder. This application allows you to wager money on your goals and habits. Thus, no other app (at least to my knowledge and personal experience) tops the charts in terms of getting stuff done like Beeminder. I have recently set a goal on Beeminder to write two pages in my book every weekday. However, there is a catch. If I do not fulfill this ambitious goal, I must pay money out of my personal bank account. I do not know about you, but nothing is a motivator in terms of productivity like losing money. I highly recommend Beeminder as it has helped me grow in my journey towards writing my first book, and it can help you achieve any goal like losing weight, getting stronger, and even learning a new language.

Ego: The Impenetrable Wall

Ego: The Impenetrable Wall             My ego gets in the way of a lot of things: Healthy relationships, self-satisfaction, and owning up to my flaws. After all, I can assure you I am not ten feet tall nor bulletproof, but my ego can surely make myself sound as if I were. So, to mitigate this controlling, narcissistic feeling of “I’m better than everyone and everything,” I have looked to Ryan Holiday for some clues and insights into how to do so.             Although I have not yet read Ryan Holiday’s book Ego is the Enemy , I hope to do so in my upcoming reading challenge. However, after listening to Ryan Holiday’s lectures on his YouTube Channel, “The Daily Stoic,” I believe I can share enough valuable insight to be of some use to you.             “Ego,” Holiday says “is the impediment to improvement.” And although...
