A couple days ago I published an article entitled The Best Non-Fiction Books of 2023. If you'd like to check that out you can do so here. But I believe reading fiction is just as important as reading non-fiction. And it's awesome! I get just as inspired reading a good story as learning something new. Check out the list below!

Although I rarely spend an entire day just reading, I would happily do so if I didn’t have other things I want to accomplish. Once upon a time, I had to force myself to read, like a kid who doesn’t want to take his medicine. Now, it’s one of my favorite things to do. Sometimes a reward at the end of the day. And nearly always the first thing I do every morning.

In my daily explorations of the internet and its never-ending supply of productivity related content, I often come across sentiments dismissing the concept of “motivation”. David Goggins, the noted former Navy seal, endurance athlete, author and all-around bad ass, says “don’t be motivated, be disciplined”.
What’s up everyone? I hope everybody had a warm and restorative holiday break. This article is somewhat of a follow up to my 2019 Year in Review.

Let’s talk about that word, goal, a little, shall we?

As the year draws to a close, I am reflecting on the goals and habits that were important to me in 2019. Like many of you, I see the end of the year as a chance to look back and see what went right, what slipped through my grasp, and what I can improve as I go into the new year. Of course, my brain is already exploding with ideas of goals to strive for in 2020, but I know I have a better chance of success if I pause to take note of an obstacle here, a tweak there, and formulate my plans with this important context in mind.

As a child growing up in the 1980s, my first experience with Batman was through the Superfriends animated show. After watching the show, I wanted to be just like those heroes. I vivdly remember going out in my neighborhood to patrol the mean streets of suburban Raleigh, NC with underwear proudly worn on the outside of my pants (oh yeah). I donned a blue cape (a blanket) which flowed off of my cereal and juice infused, four-year old frame. Yes, you could say I was a full-on Bat fan from the very start.
