How do you balance being informed with information overload?

Podcasts. Great way of filtering news, making sense of it with help of experts and you get to consume it while you take a walk. Filters out the noise and negativity of news sites, too.

These days, I'm also troubled by the pressure I feel to gather as much information as possible. 😂

I used a tool to generate one-sentence summaries for each topic I'm interested in, and after running it for half a year, I feel good. Any later reading, RSS readers, and recommendation algorithms haven't really solved the information overload problem.

Filter the information you consume, and put consumption on a schedule. For example, I listen to the All-In podcast or This Week in Startups when I walk outside or hit the gym. I watch the My First Million podcast on YouTube while eating. I read almost five email newsletters every morning, and I browse X randomly while waiting for the elevator or in the restroom.

Your writing is always so engaging and informative. Love it! URL

Oh, such a good question. I try to keep some topics for specific days to explore and research on.

I only subscribe to newsletters I'm interested in to follow information. And I unsubscribe from the ones I don't often read.

Balancing being informed with avoiding information overload requires setting clear priorities and filtering content. Start by identifying the topics that matter most to you and focus on reputable sources glitzyinfo to stay updated. Limit time spent on news and social media, and practice digital mindfulness by avoiding unnecessary scrolling.
