’s note this morning.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount of newsletters on Substack. I know I’ll often see a post, and then by the time I go back to read it, it’s been buried in my inbox. All those little orange dots give me anxiety and I end up running away without reading anything.

I’m brainstorming strategies for how to keep my inbox calmer, somewhere I feel excited to land instead of stressed out. I’d love to hear how other frequent readers are managing this!

Gimme your thoughts ♥️
