The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play by Neil Fiore

January 7, 2023 by Halbs 1 Comment

A couple of year ago I had a (very) full-time job, graduate classes, young kids, etc. It was a lot. And for some reason I wasn’t able to get stuff done anymore. It wasn’t that I didn’t have time; it was that I just couldn’t bring myself to do certain tasks. I think it was mainly because they weren’t clearly defined or they were too large. Someone in my grad school cohort recommended The Now Habit. It sounds hyperbolic to say that this book changed […]

“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.”

No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at Work by Mollie West Duffy and Liz Fosslien

November 1, 2022 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

Cannonball Read Bingo: Font This year I started a new job and it was a huuuuge life shift: new industry (from non-profit higher education to for-profit tech corporation) new physical environment (hybrid to remote only) new role (administrator to enabler). (Yes, enabler is a real job title. Who knew?!). As with all things, I approached it with a thirst for resources that would equip me with the tools to be successful and help me find my way. Early on in a “getting to know you” […]

Mindy and change

Paws: Mindy Makes Some Space by Nathan Fairbairn

October 28, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Paws: Mindy Makes Some Space by Nathan Fairbairn, and illustrated by Michele Assarasakorn   This book is a cozy friendship story that includes three best friends, lots of dogs, a cat named Chonk, and (finally) new friends. There are a lot of bumps along the way (and hopefully only chocolate in the face of one girl) but still it makes for a fun read.   Now the bumps are several fold. First, there was a story plot mentioned that was confusing to me as I was thinking […]

Basic But Not Bad

Essential Managers: Managing People by Philip L. Hunsaker and Johanna Hunsaker

June 1, 2022 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Best for: Brand new managers of people In a nutshell: Basic, graphic-heavy guide to some things to keep in mind as a people manager. Worth quoting: N/A, though I did take lots of notes. Why I chose it: I’m new to managing people. Review: I have been working full time for over 20 years but have somehow managed to never really be a ‘boss.’ I’ve managed interns, and managed staff on loan from other agencies, but I’ve not hired or let people go, or really […]

The Yugo was a lemon, but this lemonade is more Country Time powder than fresh-squeezed

The Yugo: The Rise and Fall of the Worst Car in History by Jason Vuic

May 12, 2022 by andtheIToldYouSos 6 Comments

I wanted to love this one, I really did! Much like my affinity for the dopey little Yugo, I thought I could at least love this book ironically. Unfortunately, I found myself feeling like no Yugo customers found themselves feeling: bland pleasantness. I love a good micro-history, and I love a good world-wide failure, and while this book is well-researched, it just could not hold my attention. Perhaps it was because I listened as opposed to reading, but I frequently felt like I had somehow […]

It’s about being there for your team

Just Show Up: And Other Enduring Values from Baseball's Iron Man by Cal Ripkin, Jr.

March 21, 2022 by Halbs Leave a Comment

When I was a kid, I loved baseball. I played it, I collected cards, I watched the games on tv and at the Astrodome, I read about it in magazines, I prepped my glove like it was Excalibur. You name it. The early 90s MLB strike ruined the game for me and I haven’t really been back. However, even as an outsider, I was aware of Cal Ripken, Jr.’s amazing streak of playing in over 2,600 games. Can you imagine doing anything 2,600 times in a row? I […]
