I’m a sucker for tips, tricks, and apps. I enjoy reading my good friend Chuck Allen’s Four for Friday posts. I always find something interesting or helpful, so I thought it would be fun to put out a list of some things I’m enjoying right now. Here is this week’s Monday Mentions.

A Great Book – Rocket Fuel by Gino Wickman & Mark C. Winters

Rocket Fuel is a great book about the power when you couple two distant types of leaders together: the “Visionary” and the “Integrator.” This book is a how-to manual for understanding, managing, and maximizing that relationship.  

A Helpful Budgeting App – Every Dollar

Everybody needs a budget. Laura and I recently did some work on ours. While most people don’t enjoy budgeting, budgets help us determine where our money goes. Dave Ramsey’s Every Dollar App is a great app to help with a budget. Joseph Sangl has some useful, free budgeting tools.

A Thought-Provoking Podcast – The Productivity Show

The folks behind The Productivity Show believe you should get your important things done without having to sacrifice your health, family and things that matter to you. This is a weekly podcast where they explore ways to save time, increase your productivity and happiness. They cover topics such as goal setting, time management, personal development, and efficiency. Listen to the podcast and start doubling your productivity.

A Great Read – Hand Me Another Brick by Charles Swindoll

Nehemiah is one of my favorite books in the Bible and my guess is God can use it to encourage you. 

Nehemiah was a great leader who faced a lot of the challenges we face today: 

• Unforeseen setbacks
• Unrelenting deadlines
• Criticism and outside resistance
• Personality conflicts
• Financial pressures and temptations

Charles Swindoll brings his sensible and straightforward style to offer a deeply spiritual approach to the role of leader.

A Great TV Show: Blue Bloods

Blue Bloods is one of the few shows Laura and I consistently watch together. The show is a drama set in New York City and follows a family who has strong ties to the police department. My mom says it’s quite a family! You can find Blue Bloods on CBS.

Keto Friendly Pizza Crust – Cali’flour Foods

I love pizza. Cali’flour foods sell several low-carb pizza crusts made with cauliflower. I usually buy the variety stack pack and enjoy a keto-friendly pizza once or twice a week. Save a few dollars by using the discount code “GOODEATS”.

An Insightful Post – The Most Important Person You Lead by Tripp Atkinson

My Friend Tripp Atkinson has a great blog with a lot of helpful resources. He recently posted an article called The Most Important Person You Lead. It’s worth a read and has a link to a really helpful assessment. He makes a strong statement, “I must lead myself well if I’m going to serve others well.”

The Netflix of Books – Scribd

Have you ever hear the phrase: leaders are readers? I know there are exceptions, but I believe the idea behind the phrase is absolutely true. I believe we are meant to be lifelong learners. Scribd makes this easy. A monthly Scribd subscription gives you access to an unlimited number of books, audiobooks, and magazines. I am usually listening to a book when I’m in the car or at the gym.

If you try Scribd, use the link above to get two free months of reading to start.
