"The Lean Farm: How to Minimize Waste, Increase Efficiency, and Maximize Value and Profits with Less Work" Book by Ben Hartman

 

In 2020, I read a book entitled "The Lean Farm: How to Minimize Waste, Increase Efficiency, and Maximize Value and Profits with Less Work" by Ben Hartman after I read "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries, and I was curious about the implementation of the Lean Principles on Farming, and I found this book. 

I want to recall my reading about this book, refresh my learning, and share the insights and key takeaways from the book. It would be beneficial if I could crystallize the knowledge and implement it step by step in all my activities and projects, so it becomes wisdom and has a real impact. So, happy learning and enjoying!

"Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life: Four Simple Steps, One Extraordinary Life" Audiobook by Taylor Grant and Dr. James Grant on Audible

 

Several days ago, I finished listening to an audiobook entitled "Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life: Four Simple Steps, One Extraordinary Life" Audiobook by Taylor Grant and Dr. James Grant on Audible. 

"Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life" serves as a practical manual for internal renovation, positing that the architecture of one's external reality is completely dependent on the quality of their internal thought processes. The book opens with the "Introduction", which establishes the core thesis: most individuals live life in reverse, attempting to alter their circumstances to change their feelings, rather than altering their feelings to change their circumstances. Taylor Grant and Dr. James Grant introduce the "Four Simple Steps" as a linear framework designed to dismantle the "Default Mode" of thinking—the subconscious programming inherited from childhood and societal conditioning—and replace it with a "Design Mode" of intentional living.

Time to Rise Summit 2026 with Tony Robbins's Notes

 

I would like to share with you the notes of the Time to Rise Summit 2026 with Tony Robbins, created by Denise Ackerman. I think it will be nice to learn from it. I watched the first day fully on the live session on YouTube's Link, but for the rest of the days, I will watch on the replays. But based on my experience on Day 1, it was always engaging and rooted on my mind about creating the breakthroughs in my life with building and making conditioned practices on our State, Story, and Strategy, which in the end is to make something impossible, become possible, and happen. 

Thank you so much to Tony for your dedication and love! Here are the notes of Days 1 -3 and the Bonus Day, happy learning and enjoying!

The Public Discussion and Book Launch entitled "Pertanian & Masalah Generasi" (Agriculture and the Generation Problem) with Prof. Ben White, Organized by AKATIGA and INSISTPress

 

 

 

Today, February 3, 2026, I attended the public discussion and book launch entitled "Pertanian & Masalah Generasi" (Agriculture and the Generation Problem), which was organized by the AKATIGA Center for Social Analysis in Bandung, serving as a significant intellectual gathering to address the future of rural livelihoods. The event featured Professor Ben White, an emeritus professor from the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) in The Hague, whose decades of research in Indonesia provided the backbone for the discussion. 

Moderated by Mrs Aprilia Ambarwati from AKATIGA, the forum was not merely a book launch but a critical intervention into the discourse of agrarian studies. The event highlighted the collaboration between various institutions, including INSISTPress, the Center for Environment and Sustainability Science, and the Initiatives in Critical Agrarian Studies, all aiming to bring complex academic theories down to the practical realities of Indonesian farmers. As the responders, there were Mr. Angga Dwiartama, Prof. Iwan Setiawan, and Mrs Charina Chazali.
