Growth Mindset and the "How to Chase Change" Audiobook Experience
I am admittedly skeptical of self-help books. One of my favorite podcasts is “If Books Could Kill“, an entire series of audio essays dedicated to debunking airport bestsellers that are, more often than not, classified under the self-help umbrella. Still, there was something about How to Chase Change by Alexis Fernandez-Preiksa that made me feel like it could be different.

Checked Out: How to Keep House While Drowning
Today I read How to Keep House While Drowning and it seems like a lot of the reviews either love it or hate it, and I loved it.
I have been ashamed to bring dirty dishes from my room for fear of having a parent/caregiver yell at me (for being dirty, or having anything dirty in my room, regardless of if I had just eaten and was bringing it back out)
I have let laundry pile up and just sniff-tested through it until I had no clean underwear and just bought more because I couldn't make myself do laundry
I have sat and stared at the dirty dishes I was then too ashamed and afraid to take from my room and mentally repeated what would have been yelled at me -- you're so dirty, you're so disgusting, you're so lazy, god why can't you just do one thing, why can't you do anything?!?! WHY are you LIKE THIS?!?!?!
If you've felt like this, if you struggle in house-keeping and are ADHD or Autistic, this book is for you.
I know this isn't my usual format of a Checked Out post, it's been a while since I've done one and how I consume books has changed, so I will have to change how I format and go about those posts. This book has made me realize that I was attempting to serve my habits, my habits are not serving me, and idk if that makes sense to yall but it makes sense to me, and i'll see yall when i figure this out

Be Unstoppable: No Excuses! Volume 1 by Tariku Bogale
I picked up this book with high hopes, inspired by its intriguing title and a table of contents that promised to focus on time, courage, sacrifice, forgiveness, and hope. I expected a riveting self-help guide to unlocking my full potential. Unfortunately, the experience fell short.
This disappointment wasn’t because of the author’s life story—he’s clearly an amazing individual who’s overcome…

I’m currently reading my second “self help book” because it’s thin & easy to hide at work. The introduction to the book is disappointing, but the actual book itself is insightful.

How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell | Comfort with the Discomfort of Indecision
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
The subject of the universe conspiring to help a person aspire towards their intentions, has occurred for me over the last weeks. A month ago when I had the luxury of time to relax and contemplate my next moves, and whether to continue spiraling along the path of pet sitting…
