January monthly round-up
Hope the first month of 2024 has been treating you well. And welcome to all our new subscribers - January was a month of record growth, more than doubling the number of subscribers in December, and it's great to have all of you on board😊
This month, I posted 2 book summaries and 1 blog post:
Book summaries
- ​Feel-Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal - Ali Abdaal is a popular productivity YouTuber, who suggests a variety of small ways to increase your productivity without relying on discipline or motivation.
- ​​Thinking in Systems: A Primer by Donella Meadows - I really enjoyed this book, which explains how systems thinking can help us better understand and change the systems in our lives.
Blog posts
- ​Thinking in Systems and Economics - I outline the key economics-related examples Meadows uses in her book and offer up some of my thoughts on her conclusions.

Lastly - a quick shoutout to my friend Ryan, who shares many short, actionable ideas at The Limitless Playbook. Did you know that by February, around 80% of people will have failed to keep their New Year's resolutions? Ryan explains why this happens and how to make sure you're in the successful 20%. Go check it out!
Until next time,

I've split out into separate posts the Solutions (both good and bad) discussed in the book, as well as some Environmental myths that it debunks so you can also jump straight to those. I'd...
