Today’s world is a busy one – and as such, it can be difficult to stay on top of all of the latest news and industry best practices. One can often find themselves overwhelmed by all of the new information available, vowing to get caught up later… But when we don’t stay apprised of what’s happening in the world around us, we can lose a lot, from our sense of empathy to our innovative edge.
We don’t want that to happen to you! So to help you stay in-the-know, here are some of our favorite newsletters for delivering pertinent information right to your inbox:
Stay on Top of What’s Happening in the World: the Skimm
If you want to know what’s happening in the world we live in (and you should!), but don’t have time to wade through all of the various news sources, the Skimm is your best friend. Every morning, before most of us even wake up, the Skimm sends you a rundown of the most prominent front page headlines. Not only does it take less than ten minutes to read, but each news brief is witty and engaging, linking to full articles for those who want more information. While we’re not suggesting that the Skimm (or any news source, really) is the definitive resource for your news intake, it makes staying on top of world news much easier.

Stay on Top of the Good Stuff: Huffington Good News
While world news is critically important, it’s unfortunately often pretty negative. After taking in a long list of difficult or depressing headlines, you may need a boost of positive news. Enter the Huff Post Good News newsletter, which sends a daily dose of good to your email every day. The Good News rundown tells stories of social impact, pet rescues, and altruistic acts, and it always seems to get to your inbox at the moment you need it the most.
