Reading list
These are my recent reads. This list makes me accountable, forcing me to make more time to read and helping with my motivation. That which is measured, improves.
I've found that the easiest way to make more reading time is by listening to audiobooks on my commute. This alone translates into two books per month.
A lot of these books have been digested in audio, meaning that my daily consumption of Iron Maiden has declined drastically.
