My interests are so specific that if I list them, I'll dox myself. Which isn't a huge deal, but still want to stay anon here. Still, I can throw a bone by including one that is fairly generic: front-end development.
My before situation: I used to follow dozens of experts on Twitter. Which is a continuous effort, and includes lots of noise. And that's just Twitter, I also followed some Medium authors, Youtubers, and sometimes watch videos of conferences (that I did not attend). I replaced all that with a single newsletter:
It comes weekly. If anything of any importance in the field happened, it's in there. It's such a vast efficiency win. Once per week, I spent some 30-60 mins reading it, and I'm up to speed.
Generally, 80-90% of the contents I can quickly scan through as they're not that new or important for me to dig in to. Yet 10% is impactful and bookmarkable, the gems I referred to earlier.
I'd recommend to just try lots of newsletters from your field and let them compete. Read them for a few weeks and keep unsubscribing until you have the ultimate one. Go for weekly newsletters, not daily ones. Let the information come to you instead of chasing it, reserve fixed reading time in your schedule.
