Time Management Essentials: The Tools You Need to Maximize Your Attention, Energy, and Productivity

Time Management Essentials: The Tools You Need to Maximize Your Attention, Energy, and Productivity by Anna Kornick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I listened to this on the Hoopla app from my local library. The author was a speaker at GOHQ2024.

I used one of her suggestions for Task Batching when I listed to the audiobook while I completed my daily steps for my health. I think I am using my Evernote app in a way similar to what she refers to as a Digital Dashboard. I have been using my Google calendar, and I refined some recurring events with better estimates of time required for the tasks. I have used the Eisenhower quadrant since I first read about it in Stephen Covey's book, on my Goodreads shelf for 1993.

I read this because there is so much more digital clutter now, and I was feeling overwhelmed by it.

A Family Affair by Mary Campisi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since November 28, 2015. I am reading my books in a somewhat chronological order.

Catch A Falling Star (Second Chances #3)

Catch a Falling Star by Merry Farmer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the third novel in the Second Chances series, and it was available from the Hoopla app from my local library.

I enjoy the story Farmer tells about the relationship between Jo and Ben. I was rooting for them to work it out even when I thought she should have kicked him to the curb.

Contemporary romances are too graphic for me to recommend them to my friends.

Whiskey Rebellion: Addison Holmes Mysteries #1

Whiskey Rebellion by Liliana Hart
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in My Digital Library since October 16, 2015, and I am currently reading through My Digital Library in something of a chronological order.

Once upon a time I could not wait for the next Stephanie Plum mystery to be released, and I got tired of the basic plot and snappy conversations. This ebook is written as a similar genre, and I did not like it. If you like that genre, you may like it more than I did.

A Simple Guide to Creating a Photo Estate

A Simple Guide to Creating a Photo Estate by Mollie M Bartelt
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Mollie m. Bartlett is the co-founder of Pixologie, Inc.

This is a guide to help those of us who want to make a digital archive of our photos. I have been working on scanning the photos from the first 50 years of my life, and I had more than 138 albums in a chronological order to scan when I began this process.

I think I am ready to start using a high-speed scanner at my local library to help me speed up this process.
