I know, we all get too many emails on a daily basis, but what if those emails you are getting were actually helping you out by keeping you informed, entertained and generally advancing your personal and professional knowledge? If that sounds interesting to you, you’re probably asking yourself how much something like that could cost you. Well, nothing! Except whatever time it takes you to read an email! Yep, that’s right! I have found three amazing and free subscription services that really help solve some of the major day-to-day issues facing busy professionals, students, and anyone else who is interested in learning and growing but can’t find the time to fit in long hours of personal development classes and self-help books! It’s about taking baby steps, and each day getting a little bit more news, information and advice
The Skimm
Who needs to pay for a newspaper when you can have the news delivered to your email inbox every morning, in a short but sweet summarized form that will help you to better understand the days events and discuss them competently? Busy professionals rejoice! The Skimm is just that! A daily dose of news (Monday-Friday) that tells you the need to know headlines, briefly explains the importance of the issues and helps you find ways to incorporate your news knowledge in day-to-day life to impress friends, family and coworkers!
DailyLit
Are you interested in reading more often but struggle to find the time to sit down and digest a complete novel? DailyLit is a free site that will send you short daily installments of books of your choosing that you can read on your computer or mobile device. Read via email or RSS anywhere you have an internet connection and leave you bulky paperback at home!
Netted
Do you enjoy hearing the latest news on awesome gadgets, technology, and apps but find it time-consuming searching through multiple popular technology and gadget websites each day? Try Netted by the Webby’s, a daily email subscription that keeps you up to date on the hottest new sites, apps and technology news. Short and sweet, this email promises its subscribers “better living through the internet” and if you’re reading this and are a fan of my blog I’m pretty sure this is right up your ally!
Do you currently use any email based subscription services? Do you like the opening your email inbox each morning to find something fun and useful instead of the day-to-day dregs of work emails and sale notifications? Which services do you subscribe to? Share them in the comments below!
These are all wonderful! Adding these to my routine 🙂 Personally, I’m a fan of Notes from the Universe – wonderfully inspirational to open in the mornings – and Campfire Chic’s newsletter. While not technically a subscription email service, Kam’s newsletter is one of the few I like, and is incredibly motivational!
Great post! Something I definitely need to help keep me up to date.
