Matt ⁂ 🇳🇴 🇺🇦<p>Today I discovered Delayed Gratification magazine exists - a quarterly publication which revisits the events of the last three months to offer in-depth stories and a slow, more considered journalism.</p><p>Never really heard of it before, but I love the concept... but considering I just subscribed to The Guardian Weekly (for the reason of not wanting a daily news cycle), I might give this a miss for now.</p><p><a href="https://www.slow-journalism.com" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">slow-journalism.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://oslo.town/tags/DelayedGratification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DelayedGratification</span></a> <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/journalists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>journalists</span></a> <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>news</span></a> <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/slowNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slowNews</span></a></p>

Leisureguy<p>Delaying gratification is a highly beneficial skill, and like all skills, it is acquired through practice. Thus it is a good idea to find a way to make that practice pleasurable, to somehow work out how to enjoy delaying gratification so the practice needed to master the skill will be something to look forward to.</p><p><a href="https://leisureguy.ca/2023/11/10/delayed-gratification/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">leisureguy.ca/2023/11/10/delay</span><span class="invisible">ed-gratification/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/delayedGratification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>delayedGratification</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/skill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>skill</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/practice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>practice</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>learning</span></a></p>
