White Space
I enjoy reading Dorie Clark—be it her articles or books—and her podcasts and interviews are awesome too. A few days ago I started reading her latest book, The Long Game.
Part one of the book stood out to me: white space, which is essentially about carving out time for opportunity. Can we carve out 20% of our time working on what we think will benefit us most? The 20% concept was taken from Google where their employees are empowered to be more creative and innovative. Dorie says:
There’s something compelling about the idea of cordoning off time to experiment and see where your passions take you. […]
THE GAP AND THE GAIN
Today is the day! I’ve been waiting in anticipation for the release of THE GAP AND THE GAIN by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and his co-author Dan Sullivan. And I’ve been waiting for this moment to publish my post.

Quiet Girl in a Noisy World
QUIET GIRL IN A NOISY WORLD is funny and so relatable. I borrowed the e-book version from the library and finished it in one sitting while having my breakfast (this sounds like what I’ve said before…). QUIET GIRL is a book I want to keep in my personal collection, so I bought a copy.This is my second Debbie Tung book; the first one was BOOK LOVE, which is equally (if not, more) awesome.
