I don’t read every article of a thought blog I follow as I did when I was younger, but there are still some I look forward to regularly revisiting and picking up an article here and there that interests me. These are the blogs:
https://www.rosieleizrowice.com – Books, Reflections on habits, decisions (personal)
https://www.theproofwellness.com – Wellness habits in the [primarily] VC and founders community
https://www.ribbonfarm.com – Everything
https://www.lennysnewsletter.com – Marketing
Sites I Frequent and Support / Causes to Care About:
Remember Nhu: Ending child sex slavery
Unsung: Hacking homeless hunger
Made of Millions:Â Tackling Mental Health Stigma
Pencil : Creating opportunities to help NYC students succeed
Misc.
The notebook publisher I get my notebooks from: Flame Tree. Their foiled art-influenced designs are perfect for me!
The following sites are blogs that were crucial to my development as a young student in her early twenties and post graduation. I read or currently read these religiously. That means I literally did not miss a single post. These sites were the blogs I was reading during my lunch breaks as an intern and in my first job as an assistant buyer at Barneys. Head down, sometimes averting disasters (hello traffic, hello silly, mindless Susan).. when I was working, but always thinking… dreaming… questioning. These sites [besides my books!] taught me how to think and see, more so than any classroom or boss. Â I will add a site here and there as I pick others up throughout the years.. or decades I hope. Now (2019- ), I just listen to things that interest me or I am actively seeking out understanding for and I’m largely site/destination agnostic. As of 2019, I’ve also drastically limited my “news articles” intake and just focus on the need-to-knows / priority news to limit my exposure to transient content that is prone to bias.
