What are you currently reading? And bonus points if you can somehow find a connection to simple living, even if it is not about simple living.
I’ll start: I’m currently reading The Arabian Nights by Sir Richard Burton and… well it is grim but I love the simplicity of the short stories. I can pick the book, read a page or two inbetween chores while relaxing, and put the book back down.
(Sorry mod if this does not fit the community, I’ll delete if it doesn’t!)
Two books:
All Adults Here by Emma Straub. I appreciate the simple, contemporary language that’s easy for me to read through after a short book break to play some games.
The Advanced Day Planner’s Guide - more of a niche interest, I also enjoy planning. This book has lots of helpful, practical tips to boost your productivity in a non-stressful way. Planning has enabled me to achieve things I never thought possible and has left me plenty of time to enjoy myself too.
I went and read the description of All Adults Here and it sounds exactly like the kind of a book that I’d like on a short break/reading outside. Thanks for the tip!
And love that you are into productivity, be careful not to drop into the procrastinating by forever planning hole. Cheering for you!
