How to Manage the AI News Firehose without Drowning*

Things Are Changing
🍵tl;dr - I'm taking my content in a new direction! If you'd like to support me during this pivot, sign up for Nebula here*! Did I unintentionally take a six month hiatus from this newsletter? Yes, I did. 😅 But I think it was worth it,

Laziness and Productivity
Happy Friday! Over the past several months, I've come to dread the weekday hours between 11AM and 2PM. This is the window when a fog descends over my brain, where my ability to work is abruptly halted for no clear reason, and where I haven't figured
Welcome to Morning Notes!
Hi, it's Jordan Harrod! If you're recieving this, it's because you originally signed up for my Substack newsletter, which has been on hiatus for the past few months as I worked through what the future of the newsletter might look like and how to
