Friday’s List | April 7
Every Friday I post a short list of the things I’m reading, listening to, loving and wrestling with:
Here’s what I’m reading right now:

The Danger of Restlessness by Dan Reiland. Now, what I’ve seen has a name.
Why Are Maker Schedules So Rare? by Cal Newport. There it is. An excellent understanding.

Quotes I’m still wrestling with:
“If you will empower the right people, There’s no limit to what you can do. If you don’t empower people, you are the limiting factor.” Craig Groeschel
“The strength of your organization is not a reflection of what you control. The strength of your organization is a reflection of who you empower.” Craig Groeschel
App I’m using:
I’m committed this year to increasing my effectiveness. Nozbe is a leading productivity app. First heard about it from Michael Hyatt. It’s already making a big difference.
My own post I hope you’re reading:
The 90s Called…They Want Their Small Group System Back I think this post has a few insights you ought to look at and compare with what you are currently doing.
