loved

it's a book called essentialism i forget the author's name i think his last name is mccown or something and it's basically the book about cutting out the noise and finding a singular focus and doing that really well it's a book that i that that was a game changer for me at grammarly being sort of new in my career having really aggressive goals not being scared to say no taking on a lot just feel it thinking like well i'm only working 12 hours a day there's 12 more left i could just you know like like i can i can do it and then when you when you end up stepping into a leadership role which happened for me i mean it happened prior to grounded but really i was able to kind of grow into that role grammarly that book was it was incredible and i and i used it a lot i pretty much got copies for everybody on the team like 40 plus people and uh so that that is a book i swear by

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
