    Book Review: Free to Focus šŸ“š

    I really wanted to enjoy this book. Michael Hyatt regularly writes and speaks on topics that interest me, but for some reason they just don’t click with me. Perhaps it’s because he’s pivoted to focusing on ā€œhigh performersā€ and I’m just a stay-at-home dad, but it’s disappointing that I’m walking away from this book without a single thing that I can use. And that’s very unusual.

    I don’t doubt that many people benefit greatly from the principles and techniques in the book. I’m just not one of them.

    I will say that the design and layout is gorgeous!

    Would I recommend: NO

    ISBN: 978-0801075261

    Normalcy - Catholic Husband

    If you can only build the better version of yourself when things are normal, that better version will always be out of reach. Get the work done, even if it’s imperfect and even if it’s not on schedule.
