- Marie Kondo - Spark Joy. I like it because it provides a different perspective on the stuff you buy but don't use (thank you for showing me that I didn't like this style of shirt) as you give it away. Getting rid of stuff isn't revolutionary, but how she thinks about the things you own is different.
Her show is very similar to the book, but the book explains it better. Her second book is more of the same, not sure about the third
- I was greatly inspired by your post, and I'll be spending the rest of the evening reading your CreativeSomething blog and a little more about your story.
I have a strong desire to follow your path, but instead of Creativity as a focus, it is on finding ways to achieve a simple, less stressful life through automation of repetitive tasks, good habits, organization, etc. Think "Wellness" but with possibly a more tech-focused spin. I get much satisfaction from books like Spark Joy (Marie Kondo), Four Hour Work Week (Timothy Ferriss), and I Will Teach You To Be Rich (Ramit Sethi).
Your post about researching, doing, and reflecting really speaks to me. And I feel like I should jump in... but I'm hesitant because I'm not sure I can easily come up with 20-25 starting topics to research and write about. In your case, Creativity seems like a core keyword that is (easier) to start with. Do you have any recommendations for me?
Again, thanks so much. Your comment may be what changes my life!
- Marie Kondo's other book Spark Joy is great too
- Loved The Life Changing Magic, and totally got rid of so much stuff. However, you should check out this year's Spark Joy by Marie Kondo is a lot more helpful because it has illustrations of how to fold things and so forth.
- Not written in 2018 but these are some of the books I’ve read this year
The Bullet Journal Method - Ryder Caroll - A how to and the philosophy behind bullet journalling. Am doing a 1 year test to see if the system works for me.
Spark Joy - Marie Kondo - Book about living minimally, got this suggestion because the previous book mentioned it and was curious.
The Hacked World Order - Adam Segal - got interested in cybersecurity thanks to my internship, so picked up a book to read about it and am planning to study and get certification/qualification to get into the field. Will be working in IT/Network Engineering for 2-3 years while learning cybersecurity during free time.
Jony Ive - just like biographies in general.
