My EDC Reading Kit. I enjoy annotating as I read and I am a huge fan of @fieldnotesbrand line of notebooks. Also, the Field Notes “Tin-O-Darts” book darts are a game changer! I also have my assortment of charger cables and the pocketknife my late uncle gave me. All items that come in handy daily!

These are my personal book notes from Daniel Pink's "When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing." The notes are for me (to improve happiness and productivity). You still need to read the whole book to get your own insights, but maybe the notes will be useful for you as well.

Finished Jill Paton Walsh's *Knowledge of Angels* this morning. Overall, I thought it was terrific, and a really pleasant find --- I'd never heard of it until a few months ago, where I saw it listed as a Booker nominee back in 1994.

A brief summary (no real spoilers) and a few quick thoughts about the book in replies.

Here are some of my notes from "Feel-Good Productivity" book.

Overall, it’s a nice and easy-to-read book that I would recommend to anyone new to the concept of productivity.

The book integrates ideas from many other productivity-related books, making it as an all-in-one package. It also borders on being a philosophy book, trying to change your mindset on how you think about productivity.
