Hey loves! I have been making some personal changes in my life to try to be more productive. In doing so I have been seeking out different books about my goals and different things that I am looking to accomplish.
I’m not sure why but it never entered into my mind to to look for books before but I read in the scriptures that Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge”. A light bulb went off. I’m ignorant of how to improve because I haven’t sought out the knowledge. Where is knowledge located? In BOOKS!
I really used to scoff at personal development books but I am so glad that I changed that. I don’t always have time to read so I have decided to go the audiobook route. I can listen to them in my car, in my house, when i’m cleaning up, or even when I’m standing in the check out lines! Audiobooks are the truth!
A lot of these books suggest NOT checking emails and social media until after a set time. We really don’t realize how much time we waste just surfing it. One day I looked up and 3 hours had passed from me jumping in between Twitter and Facebook.
I was like …
I IMMEDIATELY knew I had to make some changes. So here are a few of the books that I have been listening too

I’ve found quite a few self-help books, but haven’t had time to start reading them. I have made some minor changes to my daily routine, and that involves writing a little more than what I used to. I spend at least five minutes writing each day. To me, that is a tremendous step forward 😛
I certainly need a social media/phone DETOX!!!!!! I had a mini one when I was in New Zealand/Australia because the WiFi was AWFUL but I could always use another! ha ah!
Honestly i could to but because this is my work, i will settle for the “no checking in before 12” deal
This is such a great idea! So hard to do though haha congrats 🙂
I know I need to plan my time better on Facebook and Twitter. Will start today!
Let me know how it works for you!
I love this idea. I think I will start next week. I can easily spend more than three hours on social media.
Just blink your eyes and that time is gone!
This is a great idea. I find myself surfing social media and noticed all the time I have wasted. The only time I don’t really be on social media is when I’m on vacation.
I need to start reading self delveopment books too.
Please let me know if you check these out! They are great!
YES! First of all it is amazing how the Bible is the ultimate self improvement book. I tell you! Secondly, I have been thinking long and hard about how I manage my days. I am not doing a great job at all and the truth is I waste a lot of time on social media and other things. On the days I decide to ignore anything not family or business related, I am so much more accomplished and I also feel great. Definitely going to get myself together.
Let me know how it works for you!
First off I like the candid videos. Thanks for sharing. I realized that I have to unplug often because checking social media and emails can be so addicting. I actually purchased the book Manage Your Day To Day – and you’re right many books mention how you should not check social media and emails before a certain time. Check out the book The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod it’s all about creating morning routines and setting the tone for your day. It’s a great read!
I actually have this on my audible wish list! I can’t wait to purchase it and read it! Thanks for the suggesting! I have heard a lot of people talking about this so that must mean i need to try it out lol
The morning is usually the best time for me to respond to emails. Once my day gets started I’m usually so busy that I can’t really sit down to craft a good response. I love your candid video though.
The first thing I do when I roll out of bed is turn on my laptop and open up my mail. I find myself missing breakfast because I’m always going through all my emails and whatnot. I definitely need to make some changes.
Great concept! Good luck with your endeavor. Two suggestions for audiobooks: A Complaint Free World by Will Bowen & The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. I listen to them on my commute in the morning. You will love both books!
