Hi friends! This week I wanted to write an essay about what is on my mind this time of year, including prepping for the darker, colder months. If you’re new here, you can find all issues (both free and paywalled) over at https://www.theinfophile.com/archive/.

The EEDA Pod episode this week was a replay of one from early last year: Encore: Burnout is Not Your Fault.
