Can you blame them? These publishers’ content is buried under paywalls, logins, screen-engulfing ads, deceptive headlines, the list goes on forever.

I send an email to my manager every week with two headings: “This week” and “Next week.” 3-5 concise bullet points under each heading, no sub-bullets.

Every manager has loved these emails, and they’re really handy for performance reviews, interviews, or even as a paper trail.
