Memorable Morsels 10
My reading time has been limited the last few weeks, but I have found time to stay up on email newsletters from Daily Stoic, Daily Dad, Manager Tools, Seth Godin, and James Clear.
My podcast listening has taken a hit as well. In addition to a routine change at home that has impacted this, my dedicated podcast app (Castro) went dark and stopped downloading new episodes. So I have been searching for a new podcast app that works for my routines. PocketCasts seems to be the best fit now, but its functionality is still not completely fitting into my routines. I’m having to manually curate my playlist more than I had been, which impacts the podcasts I listen to and how much I listen to them. Alas, first-world problems that I’m lucky to have.
As I read and listen, I write down items that I want to come back to later. Below are some that stand out. Let me know if they resonate with you too.
