Juliet’s School of Possibilities by Laura Vanderkam is one of the best books I’ve read in a while. A friend recommended it after he read it and I’m so glad he did! Just a few chapters in, I stopped for a quick break to delete my work email off my phone. I’m four days into this new email habit…and I’m super grateful for the space it’s created. That might not be a big deal to you, but that was one thing I decided to “choose well.”
I highlighted several things while reading and posted those notes below…
