Oh, hi friends! Do you have a Magazine Pile? That’s what I was staring at yesterday after feeling uninspired by work and unsure what to do next: Dozens and dozens of shiny perfect untouched magazines. Hoarding old magazines thinking you’ll get to them “eventually” isn’t a unique personality trait, but I think it’s acute for anyone who’s ever worked at a magazine. If you know the ins and outs of creating pages — the planning, edits, proofs — it feels cruel to toss them out with coffee grounds and used tissues.
