Mornings start with @broadsheet_in [Daily]. Almost always has one well-written explainer on the issue of the day + a bunch of snippets that I use to get to other interesting news.
Have recommended them multiple times before. Here’s it once again: https://broadsheet.in/code/VSM9C2O

Another favourite is @Finshots [Daily] - Covers One business/financial news item in 300-400 words. Crisp, engaging takes almost always. This and Broadsheet is how I typically end up starting my mornings.

Then there's @TheKenWeb's Nutgraf [Weekly]. Has a unique/interesting/searing take on India Business primarily. @peegeekay does a fabulous job and this is my without-fail Saturday morning read (This is free, even while most of the Ken is paywalled)

Two things have helped me read loads more. One of course, setting aside some time for this.
Two & most importantly: Filters on my GMail - dumping away OTPs, Order mails, Bank Promotions, SIP reminders separately into their own folders + Separate ones for every newsletter.

I used to subscribe to a lot of newsletters earlier too. But they used to be lost among the shit load of e-mail spam (ICICI FASTag emails everyday and the likes).
Having a cleaner inbox, segregated away has helped immensely.

Stuff that distracts/clutters is all dumped away into these folders, for checking once a day or so. And the rest of the inbox is the stuff that I actually intend to 'consume'.
