My New Books in 2022

Assalamualaikum w.b.t & hi,

In this entry, I just would like to share some of the books which I just recently bought from Shoppee. Actually, one of my wish lists for this year 2022 is to buy at least 5 physical books. In the previous year, usually I just targeted to get around 3 books. But since this year I got more budget, thus I increased the quantity. 

In the previous years, usually I would go to Popular bookstore and try to get any books which caught my eyes and heart. There was no any bucket list which I listed to buy before went there.

But this year, it's quite difference since I got already few books in mind due to suggestion from my newly favorite youtuber in productivity (almost every day I watch his video and record any crucial items).

And also, once I checked in the shoppee, the price is cheap and very reasonable which I was shocked also that time.

So below are the books together with the price (maybe if you make more survey  in Shoppee, you will get even cheaper ones) which potentially might be your bucket list also

1. Atomic Habits by James Clear (RM17.88)

2. Mindset : The New Psychology of Success by Carol S.Dweck (RM21.88)

3. Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans (RM21.18)

4. What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 by Tina Seelig (RM21.99)

5. The Making of A Manager by Julie Zhuo (RM21.18)

Total = RM103.41 (I got less than RM100 included postage fee because the seller provided voucher and I got free shipping voucher also)

If you want to buy from the same seller, you may search "I Reader" in Shoppee. (disclaimer : literally i was not paid by the seller as i am not that "notorious" enough to influence others 😂)

For me the price is too affordable when compare to the knowledge which I will be getting while reading all these books. I'm eagerly and ethusiastically looking forward  to read all those books since curently I am still reading other book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

Hope my sharing will be benefical to anyone who read this entry. 

Toxic Productivity

 Assalamualaikum w.b.t

Everyone is demanding and hoping for a productive and efficient life. Our life is short and that's why we need to make sure whatever we do in our life must be something precious and beneficial to ourselves and others.

Recently, I started to feel like I need to be really efficient and productive with my life. So I searched for how to be productive so on and so forth. I even try to develop and nurture new habits and keep monitoring its progress through a premium habit app (you may refer to my previous post). 

After few weeks I am living with so called a "productive life", I realized that I got something but I lost something. What I mean to say is yes I am being productive in terms of new habits which I am practicing but, I lost big portion of time with my wife.

I'm too obsessed with my new habits and indirectly I have limited precious time with my wife. Now I am thinking that I am just being toxic productive instead of what I am aiming for. I know even my wife is not complaining, but in her heart, she would feel sad with my style on the journey to be productive life .

So my plan now is I will try to improvise my ways to be productive in term of schedule and so on by balancing it and make it right. It's no value if I am being like this toxis productive.

My last words, try to balance ourselves so that we won't be too obsessed with one side productivity while sacrificing the other side which I called it as toxic productivity.  

App Suggestion : Habit tracker

Assalamualaikum w.b.t & hi,

Everyone wants to be productive & efficient in their life. That's a default human behavior. But, a lot of people fail to do so due to many factors like lazy, procrastinate, and so on

Few weeks back, I found an app from my apps store (sorry I am not so sure for android user, you may check it out if got any) which was Habit tracker by Davetech Co Ltd. This app generally about the habits which we would like to track our daily habits or in a simpler word, our to do list habits.

I have been using it since few weeks back without fail for any single day and I found it very interesting. The app very minimalist with attractive decoration, user friendly & fun.

For myself, I bought a premium version which costs me just RM19.90 for one life time payment. The reason I bought the premium one because it's literally cheap and also I want to make sure that I will regularly use it since it costs me money (even not too expensive). We know that whenever we need to pay for something, then we will fully utilize it so that we won't waste our money for nothing. That's me and I believe other people also like that.

Overall rating I can say that it worth for 4.8 out of 5 . Thus, those who seek a productive, effective life, I would suggest you get one with premium version so that you will have habit tracker to follow and obey. Any apple user, you may use below link to download the app. But, for android user, I am sorry again as I don't have any android device anymore in my house, but still I believe this app should be available to be downloaded.
