Procrastinators Get Stuff Done: How to Go from Overwhelmed to Finished by Dana K. White
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I pre-ordered the book, and I started with the bonuses available for pre-ordering. I have been using her five decluttering steps to work on large projects, and I came to the point where so much now is Maintenance and Consolidation. This book helps me understand how I can move forward better because she clarified the difference between Projects that have a finish and Maintenance which needs premade decisions to keep up with current tasks.
I began a shared project of scanning photos of ancestors and elder relatives in 2009 to be able to share. That project was completed to external hard drives and a website I used to share with family members, and that website went out of business. After I moved 9 years ago, that project morphed into scanning photos that had been framed but no longer fit on walls in the new house and photos that I had not put into albums. Both of those are finished and stored on external hard drives and clouds.
I have been scanning albums of photos taken with film in my personal collection because I need to consolidate from albums into space available on external hard drives or the cloud, and this is a PROJECT. While MAINTENANCE is needed to curate photos I take digitally and receive from texts.
I am often discouraged when technology changes, when websites for sharing close, and this book helps me know how to restart and pick back up to move forward.
I will re-read it, and I recommend it.

Aging in Place: Navigating the Maze of Long-Term Care by Mary Mashburn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A book with a similar name was recommended to me and this is the one I could borrow from from my library with my Hoopla app. I read this book for information, and I would have preferred that it be in a checklist form with steps that needed to be done step-by-step. There are some recommended websites and I would have preferred they be in one section instead they are available in the text.
I gave this book 3 stars because it provoked some anxiety nightmares.

Healing Her Cowboy by Kay Stockham
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since August 9, 2019. Chick-lit/romances are a genre I enjoy reading for entertainment.
I had some problems with the storyline for the justifications Grace used, rape of a minor is not as bad as incest, and the justification the sheriff told Jake when Jake tried to get help for Grace when Jake saw her physical injuries, she might have been in more danger if she went into foster care/group homes. Those justifications kept this book from earning any higher stars from me.
There is a happy ending.

A Cutthroat Business by Jenna Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since December 14, 2018.
I enjoy reading cozy mysteries for entertainment. I appreciate the logic the author has for why our FMC wants to know more about the original contract on the house to explain why she wants to know/why she is curious about how it came to be on the market when the owner has significant cognitive decline.
this story was fun to read, and I recommend it to tohers who enjoy cozy mysteries.

Robert E. Lee on Leadership: Executive Lessons in Character, Courage, and Vision by H.W. Crocker III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book has been in our home library since 2009 because my husband enjoys the study of the Civil War era.
This book is more about educating young adults about what Robert E. Lee has to teach future leaders . At the end of chapters the author offeres 2-8 points which the author calls "Lee's Lessons." If these "Lee's Lessons" are the only information a reader takes the time to read and then to strive to incorporate into the reader's life, the act of doing so will be worth the effort.
I recommend this book, and wish some current politicians might learn from it.
