I read in Digital Minimalism that a great way to keep up with accounts you did enjoy or benefit from was to write them down and figure out if they have other ways to follow along (that allow you to consume content in a slower, more meaningful manner). This includes podcasts, newsletters, blogs, patreon community groups, etc. This gives you full control over when and where you consume the content and you don’t get side tracked by more stories and more posts from people you weren’t even intending on following along with. You are in control of who you are inspired by and who you get information from. This is a much better way of controlling that.

I have been asked by many of you how I plan to consume content going forward and what accounts I look forward to keeping up with occasionally. I plan to consume content 1-2 times per week for about 20 minutes. No more. A cup of coffee and then going through feedly to see newest blog posts from the very few I follow there and then going through newsletters from that week. The key here is not to subscribe to a ton of these, you want to keep it short + sweet. I am going to include my list below for you!

Not all of these are daily or weekly, some are more rare. Just make sure you are really cognizant of who you are subscribing to. Keep it short + sweet! 🙂

This list does NOT include the good friends I have made along the way in this space because I plan to keep up with them via text, Voxer and planning trips with them <3 I think it is so important to be in contact with your friends in a more intentional way than just watching their stories or seeing their posts. They don’t know that you are keeping up with them and it means much more when you reach out!
