Book 2 Post 2

I'd like to start by saying that I've been quite preoccupied lately, so I haven't had much time to read the book. I've been trying to get through it slowly, and I have picked up a few things. One of the few things that I did implement was listening to music. Abdaal talks about how the best way to be productive is to make a task fun, and he did it by listening to music. I have also been doing the same thing, and the song that works for me is "Light of the Seven" by Ramin Djawadi from Game of Thrones. The song does not have any lyrics, and the music is fantastic, so ever since I got back from spring break, I have had that playing on repeat. The one thing that I will say is that this book is a stark difference from another productivity/self-help book that I've read, which is "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins. In the book, Goggins talks about his life story and how through sheer grit and determination, he was able to overcome some of the toughest ...

AMDP Investment Proposal

To: Clark Hansen, CEO of AMDP From: Ramneek Singh, Research and Development Analyst  Date: March 8, 2024 Subject: Investment Opportunity in Starbucks Corporation As a Research and Development Analyst at Anima Mundi Development Partners (AMDP), my job is to make sure that we unearth and invest in the hottest companies that turn a profit for AMDP. However, in today's world, the social and environmental impact should also be considered along with profits.

In this memo, I will: Review AMDP's Guiding Principals Give an overview of the Starbucks Corporation Present opinions from industry experts a...

Book 2 Post 1

 I am really bad when it comes to doing work. In fact, I do not think I have ever been productive for more than four hours and not been distracted by something or someone around me. I am also very bad with deadlines and almost always do work right at the very end when it is due. So when Professor Hansen was going over the books that we could read for this assignment, I decided right there I was going to read Feel Good Productivity.  I chose this book because I want to become more productive. In high school, I got by without ever having to establish a routine and sticking to it. But, my habits have caught up to me and at the start of every semester, I always say I'm going to change and be a great student. However, I always mess things up. Now that I am graduating, I think that it is time to actually get a routine and put myself together. When I get my hands on this book, I will start my journey on being more productive.
