Strategy
"Charity can be a lifestyle, not merely a gift.
Read charitably. Give the author your most favorable interpretation.
Listen charitably. Donate your undivided attention.
Work charitably. Be generous with your expertise.
In this way, you make charity a daily habit."
I came across this from author James Clear and it resonated. A strategy of charity is great for balance and well-being.

The One Thing by Gary Keller
My takeaways on this read.
The ONE Thing is the best approach to getting what you want.
Success is a result of narrowing your concentration to one thing.
Not everything matters equally. Do the most important things first.
Multitasking is a lie. - When you try to do two things at once, you either can’t or won’t do either well.
Discipline is a result of habit. - success is about doing the right thing, not about doing everything right. Willpower is a finite resource.
