Information Detox
Sometimes you need to go on a low-information diet. — Tim Ferriss
We are continuously bombarded with information; and not just that, we’re actively seeking it out all the time. We’re not just trying to fill the empty stretches of time, like when waiting in line, but we do it even while participating in enjoyable activities.
When we’re watching a movie, or even having an interesting conversation, we unconsciously take out our phone to check notifications, glance over social media or a news portal.
What if we could be more mindful of our information intake? We could plan our reading activity and news consumption to avoid falling into a never-ending loop of distraction. We could choose to be more present, more mindful. We could choose meaning instead of pleasure.
