A list of good reads

• Vice offers a personal essay on ‘productivity anxiety’—high-functioning anxiety that makes it impossible to rest.
• A highly related read: Wired on how technology has turned work into an “inescapable hellhole.”
• Samarth Bansal pens a candid and refreshing must-read on self-censorship in the Indian newsroom.
• Mashable offers genuinely useful advice on how to stop caring what other people think of you.
• Keerthik Sasidharan in Open Magazine offers a thoughtful piece on what happens when citizens in a democracy can’t agree on what is real—though oddly never mentions India. 
• We enjoyed browsing this Twitter thread where lots of people revealed secrets about their job.
• There have been plenty of tributes to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Our favourite is the one penned by her BFF Nina Totenberg. If you want an alternative (and not flattering) view of RBG, check out this Medium essay.
