👋 Hey! Today I’m highlighting two products that help optimize my consumption of shoptalk.
The first prioritizes asynchronous communication to avoid endless meetings with no agenda.
The second highlights & organizes the key takeaways from everything you read
Asynchronous communication is the future
📹 Loom is the primary tool I use for internal communication at Jobber. When meetings run late there is a common suggestion to "pull a Connor" which effectively means “Go record a Loom and post it to the appropriate Slack channel.” To give you some context on my own usage, I’ve recorded 85 videos, and I’ve managed to get everything I need out of Loom using only their free plan.

🔖 Readwise collects all of your highlights from your reading and spits out 10 highlights a day for you to go through. You can tell Readwise to keep showing you those highlights or never show them again. You can also 'like' the highlight which gets fed into your "favorites" list. In addition, you can tag the highlights to your liking.
