Admirative of your system for the effort it requires to build but honestly … i don’t believe it will be so useful (but I will be happy to learn I was wrong)

1/ I don’t think there is a magic prompt that will spot everything you need to read. Because what you need to read is at a very specific place hard to capture in a prompt: familiar enough so that it intersects your interests, but new enough not to be a repetition of what you already know.

2/ more fundamentally, I think there is another “right” way to treat unread newsletter (by “RIGHT” I mean effective, in the sense that you both learn something and you don’t create FOMO). The idea is to consider those unread like an infinite library of interesting content. Whenever you feel like reading you go there and something interesting pops up. That’s so great ! And with the number of newsletters, it creates diversity.

Sorry for this long rant :)

You wrote. I 100% related. “Most of my FOMO was procrastination wearing a productivity costume.” That’s the whole story for so many of us. Thanks for taking the time to choose just the right words.
