I always wish I had more time for reading, it is one of my favourite activities and I like reading about all kinds of topics, from current affairs, media trends, gardening, art, etc.
Anyway, one way I have found useful to keep informed is by setting up Google Alerts, on a range of topics. I receive regular emails reporting of media and blog articles related to the topic areas.
I also follow a few blogs and always find something interesting in brain pickings, check out this article about Author’s self portraits. I also like this article about advice on writing from famous authors.
Another blog that regularly has interesting articles is gov loop, here is one – 8 lessons to guide your career and an interesting one on selfies.
I also like Purpose Fairy, for all kinds for reasons!
There also also a few email lists that I have followed for nearly 2 decades – nettime and -empyre- are two examples.
It would be good to just sit down and read a novel now and again, but nowadays it seems that there is only time on holidays 🙂
