How to keep up to date with NEW standards

For ISO and IEC stuff, I keep an eye on updates from the relevant technical committees.
For the FDA, I look at consensus standard lists.
For the EU, I look at harmonised standards lists.
For the UK, I look at designated standards lists.
I also follow the CDRH news, Europa News and MHRA News for new guidance or upcoming regulatory changes.
I also follow IMDRF News, Team NB News (also Team AB once they are set up), Emergo News, Regulatory Rapporteur, RAPS Regulatory Focus, ABHI Resources MedTech Europe and GHWP/AHWP.
I have each of the pages assigned to a Distill account (other page trackers are available) and check them every few days; however, I work as a consultant and not under ISO 13485, so I don't have to validate my software. If I did, instead of validating Distill, I would just open each of the webpages listed above once per week, look for any relevant news, then use a spreadsheet or similar to record what was relevant and any improvement actions I added to my improvement log, then sign off the update to the spreadsheet.

*Follow up standards is one of document & information monitoring ; it's external doc. / Info,
**the best process that I designed is making list of all standards used; the lists are scheduled to follow up for each standard at least every 3 months ; it's easy to follow up by internet & checking ISO,BS,EN,UL---etc STDs library ; EU directives are free & should be part of list if applicable '
*** many of STDs should be marked / identified by " FOR INFORMATION ONLY "--, that's good to keeping it without mandatory updating if applicable
**** many of STDs parties are producing free service just you buy standard , UL as example provide notification as updating STDs that covering your previous deals
