Was really happy to see you in my inbox today, brother! Glad to hear your little one is doing well now.
A word of encouragement: keep going! Your content is so needed. I know it's a new season of life, and maybe that means your output won't be the same as it was before. But I'd just encourage you to figure out a low bar, something sustainable that you can commit to doing regularly and that doesn't overwhelm you, and just do that until things level out. Maybe it's just the newsletter for a while and not many YouTube videos.
Comment on the newsletter format, I do a roundup style newsletter and it takes very little time these days because it's just curating stuff I'm reading already. But it gets a ton of engagement. Might be a good option to try out for yourself.
Ironically I can find a roundup can be MORE overwhelming at times! I get it in my head that I need to find unique things from new locations and not retread the same old watering holes. Plus with the old format I was trying to share something on at least three different notes apps!
I've wondered about sharing some of my notes inside the updates as well, or splitting into multiple types of updates (on note taking, on what I'm taking notes on). Then again, perhaps that's not so different from your suggestion of curating one on what I'm reading/taking notes on.

Thanks for what you do!
Thanks Reagan.
