[public] progress.
total amount of time wasted playing video games over the past two days: zero.
having access once again to the excellent county library with which I grew up has really been a revelation. looking through the 15x section this past weekend, I came across Change Anything (155.25 CHA) by Patterson, Grenny, Maxfield, McMillan, and Switzler, 2011 (authors of, inter alia, the seminal Crucial Conversations). it's been quite the enlightening read so far, and I'm making an outline of notes as I go to make sure I retain the material (and can apply it practically!) after I have to return the book. I don't think I've ever done that before for any book that wasn't a textbook.
how much more could I have learned, and how much less time could I regret having wasted, if I'd actually had a library card the past 11 years for what was then my town?
