I balance the two by reading longform articles that convey a single idea well, rather than books that take too long to read and clickbait articles that provide instant-gratification but nothing of lasting value. (I highly recommend the Thinking About Things newsletter [0] and LongReads [1] for finding these kinds of articles.)

Seconding the recommendation of Thinking About Things. That newsletter is really one of the internet's unknown gems - I tire of most "interesting article" curators eventually, but they cover such a diverse array of topics that it's been over a year and I still enjoy their articles.

Is there an archive of the past links from the newsletter?

Unfortunately I don't see one on their site. The Twitter feed [0] has some links though.

Thinking About Things is really good. I couldn't stop scrolling and adding things to Pocket. Thank you for the recommendation.

Great piece of advice, thanks - and for the links too.
