Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted with the pace of modern life? Following a low information diet may help.

You're constantly bombarded by information from TV, social media, podcasts, and the web. It's more information than you can possibly integrate. But your brain still tries, which uses up mental energy and makes it hard to focus.

Looking away from all that info can be hard. (FOMO is real!) But it can also give your mental health, focus, and productivity a huge boost.

In today's podcast, I share some of the reasons to consider a low information diet. Plus I'll discuss real life examples of changes that have helped me in different areas (news, TV, voting, podcasts, personal growth, phone time, etc.)

As always, take what lands and leave the rest.
