I wrote 452 posts in 2021. Those posts totaled about 315,000 words. I published at least one post every day of the year, meeting the goal I set for myself at the beginning of the year. It felt good to write nearly every day1 and I was pleasantly surprised to see the blogs stats up more than 42% over 2020.
With so many posts in the year, it is hard to remember everything I wrote. But I spent some time recently reviewing the list of everything I published in 2021 and came up with a list of my personal favorites. These aren’t necessary the most popular posts. I also excluded more technical posts like the posts I’ve been writing for my Practically Paperless series. But these are posts that pleased me. I enjoyed reading them again and I present them here more or less in the order they appeared for you to review and read (or re-read) if you are so inclined.

- I published a post every day, but there were a few days that I didn’t write anything. To balance that, there were days that I wrote several posts and scheduled them ahead of time. ↩
