Tag: Information Consumption

I missed posting the Weekly Notes for the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth Weekly Notes.

OTT

I’ve watched:

• Trishanku (Malayalam)
• Ayisha (Malayalam)
• The Net (English)
• The Vortex (French)
• Live (Malayalam)
• The Sinner (English)

Writing

I had a lot of end of the quarter deliverables at work that I completed. This was at the cost of some other thinking and writing. After a brief pause because of fever, I got back to writing excited by the Chandrayaan 3 launch date confirmation. I wrote:

• Pradeep’s Space Newsletter #52
• What India must talk to France about Space?

Information Consumption

After Threads launched, I signed up immediately. I posted this:

So, I'm on Twitter, Tumblr, Mastodon, and Threads now. JLT.

There is no sane way to process the amount of information that we are hit with every day. Trying to consume it all only left me with no time for family, friends, etc. So, I went back to digital subscriptions for The Hindu, Frontline, The Scroll, and The News Minute.

I read The Hindu for a general awareness of stories. I read Frontline for some in-depth reading of certain stories. I read The News Minute for coverage related to Kerala. I read the Scroll for some of the book excerpts and investigative news coverage.

For stuff related to work (technical writing) and interests (Space and Zettelkasten), I follow people on social media specific to these interests.

I have been trying it out for a month and so far, it seems to be helping.
