Easy, you answered your own question: just have no kids.

They all get filtered straight in to a folder. No notification when they arrive.

Then I just go through it every couple weeks either when im waiting around on my phone or when I find myself wasting time on reddit or hn but dont quite have it in my to jump back in to dev work just yet.

Between topics not being interesting to me, overlap in covered topics by each newsletter, and overlap with things I've already seen here; the vast majority of content that hits that folder doesn't ever actually get read. I'm yet to find any source of news, tech newsletter or otherwise, that warrants reading on a daily basis. Closest would be the weather.

I add them to inoreader, whenever I'm on a bus, can't sleep or have 5-10 minutes of free time I open inoreader and read instead of mindless scrolling, some of the articles are out of date by the time I get to them, but all in all it is more satisfying way to kill free time instead of reading comments.

in addition to tech you can also add long form journalism from authors/magazines you trust, usually these things tend to be more analytical and not related to the current thing/hype.

They stay in my inbox, whenever I have time I read one and archive.. I do not read them often.

I have also unsubscribed to a bunch as they have too much for me to casually consume. Pragmatic engineer one is great that it has a single topic and goes deep into it. Level up one is great as it has some great insight in the introduction and then it's more of a pointers to articles that I might click or not.

You can also convert them to RSS feeds and read them whenever.

Honest question; do people actually go back and read the stuff the intended to read later? I have never been successful with that strategy, and have to bookmark folders to prove it.

It’s mostly aspirational for me but I still do it and am happy 10% of the time I actually circle back and read the thing.

The READ bookmark does not get READ

The kids?
