Hey everyone. Welcome to Monday.
First, an important announcement.
Today’s letter marks nearly 3 months of Digital Commute. It’s been a pleasure to hear all the positive feedback and a challenge to write something valuable each and every day. I’ve learned a lot about curation, creation, and writing.
I’ve also learned that while the letter is providing value, the cadence is too frequent. Our inboxes are more crowded than ever, and my daily letters add to that clutter.
With that in mind, I’ll be pivoting to a once-weekly letter on Mondays. It will be the same format, but with deeper dives and more links. I believe that this format will allow you all to start the week with a healthy dose of knowledge, wisdom, and inspiration without drowning in it. The format will be such that you can refer back to the letter anytime throughout the week and find new links to explore. It will be on break this week, and resuming a week from today. In the meantime, I’m dropping some cool stuff below.
Let me know your thoughts and if there are any other changes you’d like to see. Thanks for your continued support. I’ll also be publishing ~1 longer essay per month as a bonus.
