[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 47183, member: 5063"] Hi, great question! Personally, it's part of my job to be commercially aware as my primary source of income is from trading the financial markets, so I use certain websites which overlap with a lot of macroeconomic stuff which is less important for commercial law. To that end, my 'personal routine' for this is probably less relevant too as I've got a need to consult data multiple times daily. Personally, I would sign up to Finimize for daily emails, and download the BBC app on your phone, setting up notifications for certain categories of news. I would personally recommend reading the FT, even once a week on weekends, but this doesn't suit everyone because a) it's quite expensive and b) I'm unusually old-fashioned inasmuch as a physical newspaper is still appealing to me! Aside from that, you can set up google email alerts for certain searches (e.g., if you're wanting constant updates about a particular firm, you can set a google alert to get an email notification every time they come up in something new on google). This is a great way of keeping commercially aware, but there is definitely an art to getting the search constraints right: too broad and you'll get constant emails, too narrow and you might miss stuff that is still relevant. Best of luck :) [/QUOTE]
