P.S. Here are a few things that fueled this newsletter/me this week:
👋 NPA Summit 2022: I’m getting pretty excited about facilitating an asynchronous session with Mariah Craddick of The Atlantic on making paywalls work for your newsroom. Sign up to join us at the event!
😱 ‘How to stop thinking about work at 3 a.m.’: This Harvard Business Review piece from 2019 has some helpful reminders about list making and self compassion that I needed to read.
📺 ‘Only Murders in the Building’: We started the comedy mystery series featuring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, which is a fun way to chase the Sunday scaries away.
