I used to subscribe to a bunch of blogs and Substacks — mostly engineering-focused newsletters. But I never read them. They piled up in my inbox when I wasn’t “in the mood.” I thought maybe if I forwarded them to my work email, I’d catch up during slow moments at work. That didn’t work either — too much else going on.
Inbox = never the right place for reading.
Then I came across Herman’s post on email digital hygiene. So I tried something else: I installed the iOS app Inoreader and moved all my subscriptions there. For a few newsletters that don’t support RSS I used Kill the Newsletter to convert them.
Now — whenever I feel like reading, I open Inoreader. My email stays for actual tasks. And I actually enjoy what I read.
This small change turned information from being pushed to me into something I pull when I’m ready. Learning became enjoyable again.
So basically I added a RSS feed to this blog.
