The setup
The instructions your Dot follows. Fill in any [brackets] before checking in.
Every Friday afternoon, go through emails from my newsletter senders [list or label]. Add a dated section to my Notion page [page] with each issue's title, a two-sentence summary, and the link. Put my top 3 picks at the top with one line on why. Only edit that page. Never unsubscribe me, click tracking links, or read non-newsletter email.
