Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books
Read the synopses of the books
Decide: keep it or should it go?
My shelf is down a few books to 1115. I finished a few books over the weekend.
This week’s books:
The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday – KEEP. I’ve always felt that Stoicism is similar to Buddhist philosophy, though I’m probably wrong. I’m going to read this book at some point so I can find out.
Atomic Habits by James Clear – KEEP. I’ve got some bad habits I would love to change into good habits, and I’ve heard this book is excellent for teaching how to do that. Now I just have to get myself to read it.
The Minimalist Home by Joshua Becker – KEEP. I’ve read a lot of books on Minimalism and decluttering, and I do so because, even though I already know the information, they remind me of what I’m working towards and why. Also, every time I read another book on the subject, I end up getting rid of a ton of stuff from my home; usually stuff that I felt I needed to keep during the previous decluttering.
Digital Legacy by Daniel Sieberg and Rickard Steiber – KEEP. This is a short book about how to manage digital assets, such as social media accounts, in terms of what we want to have happen to all that stuff when we die. I’m interested to see if there’s anything I missed when I had my Will written, or if there’s a better way to make sure my digital life is handled after I’m gone.
Habit Stacking by S.J. Scott – KEEP. I’m not sure about this one, but I’ll give it a shot.
My want-to-read shelf is holding steady at 1115 books. I didn’t think I would keep most of these, let alone all of them. In the next post, I don’t think I’ll be getting rid of any of the books. We shall see.
