One of the reasons I enjoy Twitter is learning about useful resources and newsletters.
I’ve learned about accessibility workshops, found solutions for coding problems, and discovered newsletters that help me with my web design work.
Which is what today’s post is about: a helpful digital tools newsletter my friend Birgit Pauli-Haack shared on Twitter.
I just subscribed to Wonder Tools: Useful tiny tips for getting more done, better by @jeremycaplan https://t.co/g6OnH8jOYx

What is WonderTools?
Published by Jeremy Caplan, he describes WonderTools as
A free short newsletter on digital tools that help make working from home more efficient, enjoyable and creative.
The slogan for his newsletter is Useful tiny tips for getting more done, better.
Exactly what I need.
Yes, I subscribed!
I’m always looking for digital tools to streamline my work and this newsletter fits my needs.
In the May 28, 2020 edition, Caplan wrote about Calendly, on online scheduling service that allows you to avoid the back and forth messages of scheduling phone calls.
I’ve been considering Calendly for a while, but his review finally convinced me to sign up for their premium service at $8.00 (U.S. dollars) a month.
