Blog post link correction

Dendron 0.77 has sprouted 🌱
Introducing Lookup View, the new UI for lookup modifiers. This view becomes active in the explorer when a note lookup is active, helping you toggle modifiers for filtering and other superpowers.
Changing your workspace has just become easier: Dendron: Change Workspace now provides a file explorer to navigate to a destination on your filesystem.
Highlights
- enhance(workspace):
Dendron: Change Workspacecan use file picker to select destination, instead of typing it out (docs) - feat(lookup): new Lookup View for modifiers when a note lookup is active
Everything Else
- fix(workspace): warn for frontmatter issues even if the frontmatter is not visible
- fix(publish): Publishing dev server keeps running after exiting on Windows
- fix(views): tree view refresh and circular dependency removal
- fix(views):
Show Previewerrors on Windows - fix(cli): using
--noBuildwith export from CLI will cause command to hang - fix(refactor):
Move Headerissues - fix(schema): ensure month/day/time has two digits when doing data variable substitution

Dendron Reading Series
This week’s entry in the Dendron Reading Series.

Jack of some quantity of trades#3247from the Dendron community for sharing this link, as I added it to my reading list for this week’s reading series!
Are you suffering from “information overload” each day? Perhaps you are using the wrong metaphor, and need to revisit your diet when it comes to food for thought.
The key to understanding why is to think of information throughput rather than information input. You only need to ensure that enough high-quality information (nutrition) is coming at you so you can add enough value (digestion, information work) to make a living off the throughput-process, and hopefully enjoy it (tasty work).
I like me some tasty work. I really like this reframing. It’s wild seeing that this was published in 2008, when the internet of today is an even larger collection of information buffets. Isn’t the world better when you aren’t trapped in a perpetual pie-eating contest? Pie overload, my friends.
