So today was one of the most beautiful days I can ever remember. It was just amazing with cool clouds, blue skies, snow covered mountains, and sun off and on.

Here is the shot of the mountains on the west side of the valley where i live. Pretty cool to see waves in the sky I say. I do not think that I have ever seen anything like it before. Let me know if you have down in the comments.

Book 2 of 2023 is Essentialism. This is one of my all time favorites and I read it every single year. It brings me back to what is important and it helps me minimize my things and my mind.

Here are few points that I loved.

“Essentialism is not about how to get more things done; it’s about how to get the right things done. It doesn’t mean just doing less for the sake of less either. It is about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at our highest point of contribution by doing only what is essential.”
― Greg Mckeown, Essentialism

I often find myself doing all the things. Even those things that have no impact or very little impact to my family/work life. Doing on the right things is a super hard practice though. I struggle to say no for sure.

speaking of saying no. Here is a great quote from the book.

“If it isn’t a clear yes, then it’s a clear no.”
― Greg McKeown, Essentialism

And my favorite.

“You can do anything but not everything”
― Greg McKeown, Essentialism

You get to pick how you spend your time and your energy. Choose wisely.

Greg Mckeown has another book that I will be picking up for reading later this year. I just ordered it on amazing and I think I will get to it in March. My reading schedule is already filling up fast.

I think you should read essentialism. I would give it a 10 out of 10.

Book 3 of 2023.

This is a short read called the Wealth Made Easy. I did not find it entertaining for that informative. The only idea that really stuck was the idea of being and info sponge. The idea is to bring the best info/ideas to your industry from other industries.

3 out of 10; I would not recommend.

Almost done with book 4. Fantasy book called the The Toll. I wll write about it as soon as I finish the book.
