First I'm hooked on The Expanse series. I finished three books in the series in Jan and I'm nearly done with another one that I'll finish in the next few days. It'll be a sad day when I'm all caught up. But I'll watch the TV series at that point.
Otherwise: I may have finally found my perfect marriage between two of my favorite things: better systems and fewer rules. Decisive is a book about building decision systems because our instincts, our confidence, and even our memory can’t be trusted as much as we think they can. No Rules Rules is a book about stripping away control systems (rules, policies, and fear) so great people can move fast, take smart risks, and do great work without being punished for the mistakes of a few.
Together they hit the same nerve for me: if you want better outcomes, stop relying on intuition alone, be intentional and start relying on the right systems. And if you want great people to do great work, stop building rules for the 3% and start building trust for the 97%.
Question, how do you find time to read so many books in one month? Do you rely on audiobooks? It's impressive either way.
More audiobooks than not.
I read at least an hour a day on weekdays and at least two hours a day on weekends and then wherever else I can fit it in. Driving to the office, grocery shopping, doing chores, playing video games, etc.
I also for the most part don't watch TV except with my wife. After we "go to bed" it takes her almost an hour from when we enter the bedroom for her to actually be in bed. So I brush my teeth and watch a TV show then. Currently working through the latest season of Fallout.
Otherwise my media time is mostly reading. I paint a lot when I read too.
Edit: We're also empty nesters. I got a lot more time when our kids moved out.
