Week one of 2022 is in the books. 

I binge watched Squid Game (yikes) and started Succession (hmm). 

I also purged all social media apps from my phone.

Let’s see how long that lasts. 

Mom & I released our new (and 6th) children’s book. Years ago, she told me that her dream was to write children’s books. And here we are with a little franchise going…

So, congrats, ma! (She’s a frequent 7Ps reader). And while you’re reading this, mom, I’m sorry that I ate the last ladoo. 😊

Didn’t Cha Know?

⚡️ Productivity

Use Calendly. I send my calendly link to folks, and they select a time to meet with me. This tool has saved me endless time and hassle. Your hub for scheduling meetings professionally and efficiently, eliminating the hassle of back-and-forth emails so you can get back to work. 

💰 Money

Rates will likely be raised. Financial services companies can benefit because of increased profit margins. Some stocks to consider: AFG, AON, ARCC, COF, and DFS. Here is why. 

📚 Books

Read Stop Overthinking by Nick Trenton. 23 Techniques to Relieve Stress, Stop Negative Spirals, Declutter Your Mind, and Focus on the Present. Learn about time blocking and the Kanban Method, a means to improve the flow of knowledge work.

🎵 Music

Listen to Esperanza by Sonia de Los Santos. Let’s start this year with a little hope. Sonia’s family friendly, bilingual album is a ray of sunshine in a cold wintery season. My favorite tracks: “Chichimoco” and “This Land is Also Mine.” I met Sonia through the son jarocho community while I was making Fandango at the Wall and have been a fan ever since.

📽️ Film

Watch Tina directed by Dan Lindsay and T.J. Martin. With a wealth of never-before-seen footage, audio tapes, personal photos, and new interviews, including with the singer herself, TINA presents an unvarnished and dynamic account of the life and career of music icon Tina Turner. Highly enjoyable.
