At the beginning of 2025, I’m transitioning to an atomic newsletter model. I thought it would be a good idea to keep all of this content in an easy access format. That way I can always link back to it in upcoming newsletters.

Why?

I realized that I have the tendency to read short newsletters more often than long ones. Based on my read ratio and open rates, I’m not the only one that feels that way.
