I was recently thinking about how I don't get any magazines anymore. Sure, I still get "Planning", but that is about it. Alternatively, there are several news letters from different ideas and industries that I subscribe to. This is both for my professional life as well as my personal life. It allows me to sit down and focus on those items when I have time and in smaller bits than reading a magazine. Magazine readership is still very much alive, although my favorite (This Old House) is no longer in print. But I remembered tossing out stacks of magazines every time I did a mass cleaning, and to me it felt like such a waste. Where as e-mail news letters are fully digital, so there is no waste and often have the same content as the individual magazine stories.

Last night I was thinking about a particular subject that I wanted to know more on and went down the rabbit hole of looking for another e-mail newsletter on that topic. I am still looking since I have yet to find exactly what it is I am looking for.

What about you? Are there e-mail newsletters that you subscribe to? What are some of your favorites? How to you choose what to subscribe to and what is a waste of your time?
 
Well, not to be boring and band-wagon-y, but I love the Strong Towns (blog? newsletter?) stuff that I get. AND, I love Garrison Keillor's stuff. There are three options, all winners, no lie. :)
