Recent Favorites I’ve Read

Paul Graham on having kids was eye-opening for me. He shares the reality about how your life changes once kids are in the mix.

Just Twenty-Five Pages a Day. An interesting read on how committing to read only 25 pages a day can infinitely increase the number of books you’re able to read in just one year.

Habits vs. Goals: A Look at the Benefits of a Systematic Approach to Life. Realizing the difference between habits vs. goals is already paying dividends for me.

I enjoy Wait But Why posts, although they tend to be lengthy. I really found this one to be interesting and thought provoking: It’s 2020 and You’re in the Future

A more entertaining (and frightening) read by Tim Ferris: 11 Reasons Not to Become Famous

Why I’m Reading No New Books in 2020. I try to stick to reading tried and true books as well. This article was a nice refresher on this concept.

How to Configure Your iPhone to Work for You first exposed me to the distractions that are on my phone. After reading Why Everyone Needs a Notification Detox this week, I revisited my phone to remove all non-essential notifications.

How to Email reminded me to keep my emails short. Get to the point. Emails do not need fluff. The five-minute email rule builds upon the article.

What to Do in Lisbon Like a Local is a travel guide for your second trip to Lisbon.

Flying First Class to Japan on Japan Airlines, a bucket-list flight for me. This article shows you how to book the flight with points.

The Citi Premier Credit Card gets a lot more interesting starting August 23, 2020. Earning 3x points on airfare, grocery stores, hotels, gas stations, and restaurants is unheard of in the credit card world.

Another bucket-list flight is ANA business class. Check out How to Use ANA Miles to Fly to Japan.

New Things I’ve Discovered

Ashlee and I finally watched 1917 last weekend, the cinematography was insane. Highly recommend!
