Commercial digests

Signing up to news digests can help to get you in the habit of digesting the news in bite-sized chunks. The Financial Times and the Economist provide solid insights into some of the most relevant topical issues affecting the business, finance and political worlds. I strongly recommend subscribing to The Economist’s free weekly digest email, as this succinctly summarises 8 – 12 of the key news stories from around the world. 

If you’re interested in tech and the investment landscape, I would also strongly recommend the free weekly digests available from CB Insights and AngelList and I’m sure there are also countless other digests covering the full spectrum of business-related news.

Each of these digest takes only a few minutes to read, but over time they can help you to build a comprehensive picture of what’s going on in the world without feeling like you’re committing hours and hours to developing your commercial awareness.
