News for humans, by humans.

  • Today's news.

  • Edited to be unbiased as humanly possible.

  • Every morning, we triple-check headlines, stories, and sources for bias.

  • All by hand with no algorithms.

How it works:

  • Delay if the task can be done later

  • Delete tasks that are unnecessary

  • Delegate tasks that can be done by others

  • Do the tasks that make the most sense for you to own
