Issue #150  (Top Links of 2021) 12/27/21


For this issue, I've gone through the past year and put together the most-clicked links of the year. I've selected the top 5 links from the "tools & apps" section and the top 5 links from the "articles & resources" section.

2021-2022 Notebook

It's interesting to see what links end up garnering the most interest. Sometimes stuff gets clicked out of sheer curiosity, so that's a factor. But often the snappiest, clearest headlines are best for article links and the tools that get the most clicks are simply the ones that aim to solve the most pressing productivity issues (evidently including making memes – see below!).

I hope you enjoy this review and I'll see you in 2022!


Now on to the top productivity links of 2021!
