when starting a new book, i can't recommend page targets highly enough decide when you want to finish the book, let's say 2 weeks. sum all the readable pages and divide by 14. that's how many pages you need to read per day. if it looks like a lot, divide your daily page count by 2 and break it up so you read half in the morning and half in the evening it might sound silly or annoying, but it's only when i do this that i get through books quickly and usually finish before my target date. after i hit my daily count it's always so tempting to read just a few more if i don't do this i don't really make as much time to read, and will be stuck drifting through books for weeks highly recommend. #bookstr

Of course, mind creates negative conditions just as readily as favorable conditions, and when we consciously or unconsciously visualize every kind of lack, limitation and discord, we create these conditions; this is what many are unconsciously doing all the time. —Charles F. Haanel

pessimism is lazy. it takes far more effort to engage in optimism because solutions take work

i've had two people tell me on two separate occasions this past week that they really liked this book i wrote, said it was eye-opening and helpful i didn't know they even knew about it, let alone read it 🥲 consider giving it a spin. i wrote it for busy people who want to start caring a little more about their online privacy but don't know where to start or how

Jim Rohn once said: Don't wish it was easier wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom

i keep seeing this making the rounds for some reason, as if these people don't already have artificial machines in their homes that wash their clothes and dishes for them and what do they do with all that newfound free time? go online to complain about technology not washing their clothes and dishes for them image

"resistance is futile" is what the villains say resist. resist temptation and laziness. oppression and coercion. distraction and procrastination. resist negativity, pessimism, and cynicism. resist society's insistince that you comply, imitate, and fall in line. resist the incessant pull downwards toward mediocrity and silence, and remember that optimism is a form of defiance. resist. resistance is vital. compliance is futile.

so many people i see walking around disenchanted, cynical, tired, salty. "getting old" they say. "i'm too old for that" they say. re-enchant yourself. try that.
