Reading Log - October 14, 2022 (#1)

It's been a little bit since I've posted one of these. Been busy working on other projects and playing Wrath of the Lich King. Anyway, here's the newest list.

My list of my lists
Mike Crittenden

I found this in one of the newsletters I subscribe to. Iโ€™m going to give it a try as I appreciate some of the ideas.

  • Gratitude: Itโ€™s important to remember all the people & things youโ€™re thankful for. All too ofthen itโ€™s easy to forget in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

  • Stress & Suck: No one likes stress, but I think writing down some of the things that stress you out could help alleviate some of them.

  • Goals: Keeping track of goals, even long-term can help keep myself accountable.
