Mike Taylor publishes a very good weekly newsletter and here he describes the process. It's very similar to my own. "Instead of going out and looking for stuff, having the stuff you want come to you is WAAAAYY better," he says. This is true to a certain extent. If you're not stretching yourself (for example, by researching and developing), the stuff coming in to you gets stale very quickly. The second part (which is also the hardest) is to filter the material, in order to focus on what really matters. Taylor uses Feedly Boards; I use a complex process that involves staging resources (from Feedly and elsewhere) in Pocket, and working from there. The third step is to share. Taylor finds this step the hardest. Our experience is the same, though: only a small part of the time I take to do my newsletter is the actual writing of it.
