Hello Everyone!

What are you all reading?

I am currently going through a re-read of Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Currently on 2nd book, Fool Moon.

    I just started City of Refuge by Tom Piazza. It’s a fictional account of two families in New Orleans during hurricane Katrina. I’m only 12% in but so far I’m impressed by how real I feel like the pov characters are.

    Also reading Lichtenbergianism by Dale Lyles. It’s about using procrastination as a creative strategy. 30% in, and juries out on whether I’ll find anything helpful in it.

      procrastination as a creative strategy

      I want this. I like procrastinating! Share your opinions about finishing it.

      City of Refuge looks like an interesting book. Going to check it out.

        I got more inspiration from the Lichtenbergian book than new information. Among other things, it made me start a kanban for my personal projects and now I have less anxiety over how much I need to do and in what order. If you’d like, I’m happy to mail you my copy, since I’m unlikely to read it again.

          Thanks for the offer, but it’s fine, I will just get a copy locally.

          I love Kanban, they are great. I use ‘kanboard’, self-hosted on my server, for my personal projects, but that’s only for software related things. For everything else I use Bullet Journal. A pen-and-paper system for your everyday life (Shameless plug: I just created a community for bullet journal a few days ago).
