The Three Things For Curious Minds v1
This edition is the start of a new series of weekly newsletters shaped by things I am curious about. My goal is to distill my discoveries and share them in a simple format of Three Things each week: an essay excerpt, a tweet, and a product that piqued my interest. Let’s get started.
AN ESSAY WORTH SHARING:
"The alarming thing is, the mistakes that produce these regrets are all errors of omission. You forget your dreams, ignore your family, suppress your feelings, neglect your friends, and forget to be happy. Errors of omission are a particularly dangerous type of mistake, because you make them by default.
I would like to avoid making these mistakes. But how do you avoid mistakes you make by default? Ideally you transform your life so it has other defaults. But it may not be possible to do that completely. As long as these mistakes happen by default, you probably have to be reminded not to make them. So I inverted the 5 regrets, yielding a list of 5 commands:
Don't ignore your dreams;
don't work too much;
say what you think;
cultivate friendships;
be happy.
which I then put at the top of the file I use as a todo list." Source: THE TOP OF MY TODO LIST by @paulgA TWEET WORTH SHARING:

As with many of my projects, this edition is a simple barebones version 1. I’ll keep iterating and tweaking each week to make sure you find value and I find joy in curating these :)
Thank you for your time. Hope you’re having a great weekend! And for all my American friends reading this, wish you a happy Independence Day 🇺🇸!
