Newsletters
I’ve often struggled with seeking to curate the information flow that catches my attention. Doomscrolling through Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook has really wasted my time – just to find a few Gems that may interest me. The solution has been to subscribe to a few newsletters that I know have content that matches my interests. And if they don’t, then it’s a simple thing to unsubscribe (my most favourite button of all time).
The newsletters that make a weekly difference to me are:
Tim Ferris’s Newsletter (I go through phases with this one – subscribe/unsubscribe – at times a bit too much focus on the topics of psychedelics for my liking)
I’m not really recommending these. I’m just saying they interest me. I always find something in there that gets my attention and adds to my life. In each of these, their content is around 80% relatable to me. That’s my yardstick. A better hit rate than most social media.
They turn up ad hoc, normally weekly, they’re easily retrievable, easily unsubscribable and always send me down rabbit holes that add to my knowledge.
Online Social Catch Up (Having a Laugh)
This week the team shared their motto, their tag line, their favourite quote.
Their individual responses wandered from the original task, but anyway, all a bit of cheeky fun:
“Don’t sweat the small stuff.”
“If you’re not prepared to be wrong you’ll never come up with anything original.”
“Treat yourself!”
“Sometimes God sends an ex back into your life to see if you are still stupid.”
“People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.”
“Happiness is an inside job.”
“I’ll get over it. I just gotta be dramatic first.”
“Just smile and wave, boys, just smile and wave.”
“Got your back like a buttcrack.” - yes! someone actually did contribute this one!
“You’re dead to me.”
