 The book I chose to read was "Feel Good Productivity", by Ali Abdaal. Initially, what drew me to this book was the title; I love being productive, and sometimes felt that I was an expert procrastinator. Alas, this was why I was drawn to the book. What I hoped to get out of this book was tactics and ways to not only feel good about yourself, in terms of being self sufficient, but how to be productive, even when it is easy to be distracted due to your environment. Additionally, I wanted this book to spark a sense of productivity within myself, and it definitely did just that! One of my favourite takeaways from Abdaal was the emphasis on finding joy and satisfaction in the process of work, rather then merely coming consumed by the outcome. This really changed my perspectives on things. Rather than completing tasks for the mere sake of tallying up what you completed in a day, try and find genuine interest, joy, and passion with what you do. A particular quote that stuck with me ...

 For my second book, I decided to read Feel Good Productivity, by Ali Abdaal. In this book, the writer explains to the reader how to be productive whilst staying happy. Goal setting, managing time well, and having an excellent work-life balance is what consists in the backbone of the book, and Abdaal communicates this in rather effective ways. Additionally, Abdaal elaborates how stress is not good, both for productivity and health, and how we can avoid it. Having just started the book, I can safely say that I am really enjoying it. Whilst I have not gotten too far, it would be preferable to apply what I learn in the book, to my every day life. Fortunately for the average college student, we do not go through too much stress other than school. We do not have to raise a family, or face some of the immense difficulties of being a self-productive adult. I would like to learn these attributes of the book, that I can slowly implement now in college, and then be very good at them when I a...
