Last week, I came across something so very awesome *drumroll* theSkimm!!!
Simply put, they go through the news for you and put the important stuff into their daily newsletter. Pure genius! In the past, I didnβt really pay attention to the news, books just hold more appeal, so this is a lifesaver. Of course, I do look to other sources for news. Many news outlets have their own apps and if they donβt, feed readers make it a breeze to check the news right on my phone.
In the spirit of skimming, I thought Iβd skim thru my entire life the past few days.

You got me right in the London mood! I’m going to fly there on Thursday and I am so looking forwar to it! This skimming your life is a good idea! Sometimes there’s so much going on that you don’t know what to tell or where to start!
Shawn Tang says
You’re so lucky! Hope you have a great time. And I agree, sometimes it just feels like there’s so much happening in life.

How’s the weather in Taiwan? Is it still warm? I remembered it was pretty sunny in the fall, a bit humid. Congrats with the application for the IDEA inspired blogger π and the London trip looked lovely!

I love, love, love The Skimm! It’s so helpful with giving you bits of information about all sorts of news stories and then you can go in and learn more if you want. It’s a great read for the commute or right when you wake up.
Shawn Tang says
So true!!! But I can’t read it when I wake up because it’s sent in the evening. (taiwan time) Makes for a good post dinner read though. π
