WHY WE MADE THIS EPISODE:

Every day, we are exposed to an overwhelming amount of data and information. One brain can’t possibly digest all this information. So, how do we design our information diet to prioritize the information we care about and minimize distractions? How do we design an information diet that gets us closer to achieving our goals?

THE MAIN STUFF:

• 74 gigabytes of data enters the average brain every
  day.
• Social Media is designed to get you addicted,
  and often triggers a dopamine release.
• Your information diet is the type and quality of
  information you consume.
• We have a finite amount of attention, but seemingly
  infinite amounts of information.
• Being intentional with your information diet is
  critically important.
• You can curate and influence your digital
  environment to create better outcomes.
• Taking breaks from this overwhelming influx of
  information is essential.
• It’s time to throw away the idea of ‘Keeping Up’—that’s impossible, don’t try.
• Reflect on your information diet periodically, make
  adjustments if it’s not productive in helping you reach your goals.
