As this is the last newsletter I will send to you this year, I also want to wish you a happy new year.2021 has been quite the year. While there has been many ups and downs, it has still left me eager to see what 2022 brings. Here's to a great next year.

What I've made for you

Book Notes: Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver BurkemanA healthy read for productivity-geeks like myself. I whole-heartedly recommend this book. As with any book, it has its flaws, but I enjoyed it very much.I switched between reading the book and listening to the audiobook. I was thrilled to hear that the author voiced it himself. Both were highly enjoyable.

The Best Books I've Read in 2021

I've been looking at the books I've read this past year. 50 in total — unless I manage to squeeze in a last one before the year ends. I doubt it, though, given all the holiday events.

Interestingly, the list of my favorite books read this year is mostly comprised of my favorites from past years that I've re-read. I'll sort by read date, from the start of the year to the end.
