I’m trying to be helpful and listing some articles recommended by others, sort them by category and link to them. 🙂
Inspired by Shane Parrish’s tweet. What is the best article you read in 2018?
“But you’re over a year late, what’s even the point?” I hear you ask. And I agree with you.
I think it’s nice to list and compile them all. Shane did one in 2019 too, so it’s cool to see how peoples article recommendations change over time.
Either way, I hope this is helpful!
