Rich Dad Poor Dad: Reading Report and Review

Rich Dad Poor Dad: Reading Report and Review

I am awful about managing my finances.

This simple fact means that no matter how hard I work, and I work hard, I still haven't fulfilled the financial goals that I've been putting on my vision board year after year. 

While the easy solution would be to get a raise or a higher paying job, the fact that I do not know how to properly manage my finances is still a problem. It's the reason why I have a financial advisor, it's why I opened up to my significant other who has taken the challenge of educating me. It's partially why the highly recommended book, "Rich Dad Poor Dad" caught my attention. 

One of the biggest lessons I learned is to focus on investing in my 'asset' column.

PostKnight : Does it Deliver or Does it Miss the Mark?

I have been playing PostKnight three weeks

PostKnight, is a free to play RPG available on mobile devices. You play as a mail carrier who happens to be a knight, a PostKnight if you will. You make deliveries while charging forward with your weapon, defending with your shield, or healing with your potions. It’s a game that has two main ‘game modes’ that I’ll delve into shortly.

My home, my room, and my office are a mess

This results in my mind and my thoughts reflecting the mess that surrounds me on a daily basis.

Whenever I go to work, the clutter on my desk stresses me out even before my day ‘officially’ begins. When I come home from a long day from work, the last thing I want to do is clean, but the clothes scattered about combined with the pieces of unidentified paper compels me to spend at least 15 minutes tidying up my space.  

Decluttering and tidying the KonMari method may be my only hope for my problem.

Things I Carry: Apple AirPods

Things I Carry: Apple AirPods

There are many options out in the market for headphones and earbuds to enjoy music, phone calls, and YouTube. So why do I carry air pods with me everywhere I go? They are expensive and can easily be lost, yet I love them.

I used to make fun of Apple AirPod users until I became one.

In today’s The Things I Carry post, we’ll discuss how I met and fell in love with my Apple AirPods.

Getting Things Done: Reading Report and Review

Do you ever feel overwhelmed? You feel like you are fighting a hydra and no matter how many heads you slice, two more keep growing in its place?

This is what life feels like. Whenever you complete a task at work, you get three more in its place. If you complete something for a relative, suddenly two more ask for favors. After going to a hangout with friends, you are suddenly involved in another project. Your to-do list is growing and you cannot keep up.

How Do You Create a Digital Library for Your Life? | Notion Overview

In this digital age, more and more solutions are out in the market for uploading, storing, and retrieving files. This is a blessing and a curse, after all, with all the choices we have, what’s the best solution to go with?

While Google Drive and remaining apart of the Google ecosystem is a great option, I have decided to use Notion. It is a powerful tool where you can upload your information and find it. After all, what’s the point of storage if you can’t find it when you need it?

The Things I Carry: Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil

The Things I Carry: Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil

I used to feel pretty self conscious about having my scar from my full right hip replacement.. This was the reason why I purchased Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Skin Therapy Oil. It is a product that is meant to reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, dry skin, uneven skin tone, and aging skin. I’ll be discussing why I still keep the oil despite my change of heart with my scar.

The Things I Carry: Bambaw Bamboo Cutlery Set

Bamboo is awesome. For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been striving to live a greener and more minimal lifestyle. One of the greatest ways to go down towards that path is investing in bamboo products. There are plenty out there such as toothbrushes, razors, and even stockings that are made out of bamboo (or mostly bamboo) which are better alternatives to what’s out there.

Book Series: Reading Report and Review

Start here for the Reading Report and Review Series

You will expect one to two posts per month about a book that I have read.

These books will focus on self-development, business, tidying, and perhaps a random romance novel or two. However depending on any recommendations that I may get, there could be genres outside of those mentioned in a Reading Report and Review.
