Knowledge
The Skimm – I seriously love The Skimm – it’s the best way for busy people with a sense of humor to catch up on the news. I read it while I’m walking the dog in the morning (not very mindful, I know, but my body has auto-pilot) or having breakfast. Lots of world, and national news, with pop culture – cool delivery – and it’s not depressing or aggravating like TV news. Plus, it’s free.
