Your Information Filter

Protect your decision-making capacity from overload:

• Curate your inputs — drop sources that inform without enabling action. News you cannot act on is entertainment, not intelligence
• Batch your intake — check news, email, and updates at set times, not continuously
• Use the two-minute rule — if a fact will not change a decision you face in the next two minutes, you do not need it now
• Trust good-enough — for reversible, low-stakes choices, decide quickly and move on

The paradox of the information age: access to everything makes it harder to know.
