Reflections On June Lessons…

What can be said about the things that were put in front of me, and what I learned from those things, during June? More than will be said here, but these once-a-month Reflections are deliberately limited to five.

Thanks for the warning, Tara. I’m not really interested in money type books. If I were, I would’ve simply downloaded and read John Chow’s PDF book

Honestly Vivien Don’t Do it! The Book is called Living the 80/20 Way: Work Less, Worry Less, Succeed More, Enjoy More. So bad I skimmed through it on holiday and left it there. If you like businessy/money type books try Rich Dad Poor Dad, much more interesting!

What’s the name of that book, Tara? So I don’t end up reading that terrible book

I recently read a book called the 80/20 rule which essentially said that we get most important stuff done in 20% of the time, reminded me of your productive 15 minutes. The book was terrible but an interesting concept none the less.

oh, you definitely didn’t waste your time to finally find my blog, Lauren well, it’s nice of you to say that. I feel honoured to be included in your favourites.

Hahaha, sorry! Oh, I know how that is! I get lost (time-wise) following links like that! Sure is interesting the things that you can discover, though. It’s how I found all my favorite blogs (including you!!), so sometimes I’m very glad I “wasted” my time

David, you remember it correctly - Moscow subway stations are very ornate, most of the old ones are. The new ones look very bland.

Oh, well, Lauren, thanks so much for those “non-essential” links that were an absolute read for me. I did manage to control myself though and not click on all those links that Dawud so generously includes in most of his articles. Otherwise I would’ve spent many more hours reading all those blogs and articles.

I wonder, if we could add up all the time we waste throughout the day waiting around, reading non-essential email and feeds, etc, how much “extra” time could we have? I would guess for me it would be in the hours!

There are so many productivity plans out there, but I think Dawud’s sounds best, though I’ve yet to try it.

For those “professional procrastinators,” Freelance Switch wrote an article about making that really work for you! It’s funny AND true!

Simonne, I’ve done that with audio books, too! Glad to know I’m not alone

Very kind of you, Vivien.

I did visit the Moscow subway stations, although I was too much of a tourist to notice those people standing out like sore thumbs.

The subway there is the most surreal I’ve been in. Very ornate from what I remember. Not at all like the ground level buildings.
