Habits of watching TV, following News, checking social media apps every day, according to Jake and JZ, you don't need them. If after reading Atomic Habits you get the idea of establishing some new good habits for yourself, Make Time will give you plenty of examples on what your new habits may look like. This makes me feel more comfortable doing my Screen Time challenge (I lock out most of my apps on my phone) rather than seeing it as a difficult willpower challenge. For example, it is great to know that there are people who deleted most of the Apps on their iPhones and still live a perfectly functioning and productive life. Reading Make Time is more like reading a productivity guru's blog, which confirms many productivity practices I've implemented in my life. Unlike Atomic Habits and GTD, Make Time is not a typical productivity methodology book. Make Time is the 2nd book on my "Productivity Trilogy" reading list: the other two are Atomic Habits and the classic Getting Things Done. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() He read in his sister’s diary how Rodri, a player from Hed raped her, but no one believed her. The reader learns that Matteo holds a particular grudge against hockey players. The night of the storm, Matteo is wandering the city, but no one pays any attention to him or offers him shelter. Matteo’s parents are too deeply religious to spend too much time paying attention to their children. Meanwhile, Matteo, a young man whose sister recently died of a drug overdose overseas, is becoming more and more unhappy with his situation. Fights break out among the emotional, angry people in each of the villages. It appears this will not work when children from Hed are invited to train in the rink in Beartown. Rumors abound that the politicians plan to close down the hockey club and merge it with Beartown’s club. ![]() Old wounds are re-opened and violence erupts when a storm hits both Hed and Beartown, destroying the ice rink in Hed. The people of both Hed and Beartown become the winners when they set aside their hate for one another to honor the memory of a brave young man who saved a child during an active shooter situation. The final installment of the Beartown Series, The Winners: A Novel by Fredrik Backman shows that winning is not always about how many points a team scores during a hockey game. The following version of the novel was used to create this study guide: Backman, Fredrik. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are a few quirks about MacQuarrie's style I could have done without, however. I'm glad to say this hefty tome (wait for the paperback - it'll be easier to handle and much cheaper) is very readable for its depth. I think we all know the ending, but in this book there is enough detail by far to satisfy anyone interested in this history, and having gone to Peru a few years ago I count myself as one. ![]() ![]() Thus you get the Conquistadors - never more than two hundred of them for their first few years - against the might of the fresh, powerful, rich and exceedingly well organised Inca empire. Give them all egos, flaws, ignorance of how best to go about things, but some outstanding fortune against huge odds when it came to battle, and stir. Take some money-grabbing Spaniard empire builders - mostly the unskilled, uneducated and unwashed merely chancing their arm for the odd fortune or two - and plant them, and their smallpox, in one of the brightest, gold-enhanced civilisations the world had ever seen. ![]() Summary: Machu Picchu was never the lost capital of the Incan empire - that was Vilcabamba - and indeed hardly features in this very readable history of what happened after the Conquistadors arrived. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We reserve the right to moderate at our own discretion.
