Hey.  It’s Friday!

This week I read:

Hatching Twitter: A True Story Of Money, Power, Friendship, And Betrayal
By: Nick Bilton
Portfolio; Reprint edition (September 30, 2014)
320 pages

I LOVE Twitter. Who knows what the future brings, but right now Twitter is my go-to social media platform. Sure, there is a lot of noise on Twitter, but there is also no better place to get noticed, and to communicate with the masses. People even leave email off their bylines these days, simply preferring to say: “Find me on Twitter.” This book is how it all began. Read at your own risk. You will never look at the founders the same way.

One of my favorite quotes:

“On Sunday mornings, the two daydreamers go on an adventure together, always taking the train through San Francisco to a museum, a park, or a bookstore.”

Hey.  It’s Friday!

This week I read:

Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit Of Less
By: Greg McKeown
Crown Business; 1 edition (April 15, 2014
272 pages

What if we had less? What if we did less? Not just less though. What if we did less – but did it better? I am ready to give it a try. Essentialism differs a little bit from Minimalism in that it does not focus on less for the sake of less. Rather, as the name says, essentialism seeks to hone us in on that which is essential. What trade-offs are you making in favor of non-essential noise? What priorities do you so easily disregard? You can change. We all can. And it might start with this book.

Two of my favorite quotes:

“What if we stopped celebrating being busy as a measurement of importance? What if instead we celebrated how much time we had spent listening, pondering, meditating, and enjoying time with the most important people in our lives?“

“As poet Mary Oliver wrote: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do / with your one wild and precious life?””
