Note: this will be the last issue of 7 Takeaways published on Medium. Check back here next week for news on its replacement.

0. “728 takeaways”

This week’s issue, #104, marks the two-year anniversary of 7 Takeaways. That means (assuming my math is correct) 728 takeaways to date! YIKES!

Do I feel smarter? I don’t know. Do you? Have I thought about a lot of things I wouldn’t have otherwise? Absolutely. And I hope you have too.

In terms of being a vehicle to get me to consume something better than social media, or play World of WarCraft, I consider it a rousing success.

I’m glad you’re along for the ride.

(PS: I believe I’ll have an interesting announcement related to 7 Takeaways for you next week. Nothing earth shattering, but … interesting. Stay tuned.)

Do this: (this time, for me alone) Keep taking away.
