βThe really efficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure. There will be a wide margin for relaxation to his day. He is only earnest to secure the kernels of time, and does not exaggerate the value of the husk.β
- Henry David Thoreau
Hello there!
I have this ideal picture in my head of you, dear reader, opening this week's issue while grabbing your favorite weekend beverage. βοΈπ₯€π₯π· You'd sit down on a comfy chair and read for 30 minutes. Then you'd stare into space, letting the ideas soak in.
But in this pause, there's an opportunity for harvesting new insights and ideas.
This is why I craft each issue to take up around 30 minutes of your reading time. So you can spend more time digesting them π°
Here are this weekβs curated articles worthy of your time investment:
