Reader,

Happy Friday! Remembering and missing my late father whose birthday is today. Happy birthday, Dad. I'm looking forward to celebrating a lot of family birthdays this weekend. Hope this email finds you well and looking forward to something good!

​

This is my 5 for Friday: Five minutes, on a Friday, for an Enneagram Five, to share Five quick tips, tidbits, and tech tricks that are working for me, and hopefully for YOU too. Drop me a message and let me know what you think.

#1 The ultimate productivity hack

If you have read me for awhile you may know that I love James Clear’s Atomic Habits. By the way, he is developing an app for iPhone and you can sign up to be the first to know.

​

This article “The Ultimate Productivity Hack Is Saying No” by the author has some great insights. I loved this quote:

Side note: for what it’s worth my friend Greg Cootsona also has some good resources on the topic of saying No and Yes. Check out Greg’s Amazon author page.

​

Keep at it! Good things in store for 2024. :)

​

The question for you today:

​

What are you saying no to in 2024 to get to a better yes?

​

#2 What I'm watching

Ooh, got see the first episode of Masters of the Air, the new Spielberg/Hanks series (like Band of Brothers and The Pacific) that details American pilots in England during WWII. Been waiting for this all year!

​

#3 What I'm listening to

Took a nap to this little album Meditations (Spotify, or Apple) a few days ago by Jon Batiste and Cory Wong. Good stuff. Here’s a review back in 2020.

​

#4 Physical book or ebook?

So as I have been gleaning my books, moving a lot of my library, and also purchasing some books, I’ve been wondering about Kindle or physical book. Curious what my readers prefer majority of the time.

​

For me it goes something like this:

1. Discover a book I want to read
2. Look to see if my municipal library system has the book
3. If I can't borrow, then likely purchase on Kindle, unless:
4. The book might be a longterm reference and merit having in physical form.
5. Lately, I've discovered some books (eg. prayer books) that I want BOTH physical and Kindle copies

​

How about you?
