Ask yourself, “Is it truly essential? If its not a firm yes, then it must be a firm no.” Doesn’t that make your decision easier. Thank you @GregoryMcKeown !

@GregoryMcKeown Thanks Greg! This solidified a decision I just made. Be Essential!!!

Pressure and purpose are really different things. Don't let pressure guide your life. Purpose is better for fulfilling that role.

@GregoryMcKeown Re-read Essentialism, listen to the podcast, and wait for the new book!

I've turned the news way down. So much of it is negative, contentious, and unhelpful. Some is little more than gossip. I've reclaimed the time for deep, important work. A new book (enjoying the writing so much)+ the new podcast. What can you use that time to create?

I am truly inspired and energized by @thetimmcgraw book Grit and Grace. Maybe its my past Nashville life and relatability, or the dormant #TRUMAV in me. Like he says, “If I want to sing about heartbreak and suffering, I can sing about it, but I don’t have to live in it”.

@DrK_WMS Well done!

I decided to start a blog today. Wrote this as an adaptation of an email I sent our teaching staff today. I hope that it encourages and helps you in some small way. Please leave comments...let's start a conversation. adamkealen.wordpress.com/2020/05/21/the…

These last days of the school year are not the same without my student family at WMS! Goodluck in your endeavors and enjoy the summer. See you soon! @WMSTimberwolves #WEAREWILDWOOD

Missing everyone @WMSTimberwolves ! Stay safe. youtu.be/JmqYsAb8FRY

Share this with the people you care about. We have left the old world behind and we can never get back. But the future can be full of what actually matters.

@GregoryMcKeown The opportunity to take a new perspective in life / the ridiculous amount my screentime has increased. Its taking some time to figure out the essentials.

What's the best thing/worst thing that's happened to you since all of this started?

Shout out to Mr. Kellhofer @PondElem who drove out of the way to deliver a 5th Grade Graduate sign. Thanks for being AWESOME! @rockwoodschools

Perfect day for hiking!

@GregoryMcKeown There should be no “slack” in Essentialism.

What should he do? "My company moved to Slack. I opposed it. It's a tool that encourages nonessential information exchange. Everyone loves it because they feel more productive, but I see everyone spending more time slacking (pun intended) and less time doing the essential."

@GregoryMcKeown @gtdguy What’s tour morning routine?

This has been a long time coming. I am thrilled @gtdguy. #gtd #essentialism

@GregoryMcKeown 20 mins

I am thinking about launching an #Essentialism podcast. How long should each episode be?

I can’t express enough the importance of getting kids out during these virtual learning days. Please don’t forget to take advantage of real-world experiences and create some memories along the way. Now is the time to learn more about life than any book or program can teach.

And...we are learning!!!

If your kids or students are bored, or need a screen break remember JB Priestley: “To show a child what has once delighted you, to find the child's delight added to your own, so that there is now a double delight seen in the glow of trust and affection, this is happiness.”

@mrlievanos Almost there! Keep chugging along.

Currently working on my dissertation... possibly near the finish. Wife, "Are you seeing the light at the end of the tunnel?" Me, "Yes, but the last few times the light was a train." Choo-Choo

It is easy to look at what is going wrong, at weaknesses, at problems. There is a place for that. We need to face reality. But that means seeing what's going right, what strengths you see, what opportunity is unseen. Ask this question again and again: What is going right?

@SulmarWMS Renegade!

Happy about GRAMMAR!
