Simplify with Amanda B

98. Only Consume What Serves You


Listen Later

In today's information-saturated world, we're constantly bombarded with content from social media, news, podcasts, emails, and more. But what if the key to productivity and personal growth is being intentional about what we consume? This week's podcast explores the power of setting constraints to protect your time, energy, and attention. The core message is simple: not all input is created equal, and you have the power to filter what enters your mental space. 

Start by asking critical questions about your consumption: 

  • Does this content support my current season of life? 
  • Does it help me grow, learn, or relax? 
  • Do I feel better or worse after engaging with it? 

 

Practical strategies include:

  • Limiting social media usage
  • Muting or unfollowing distracting accounts
  • Restricting news intake
  • Focusing on one podcast, book, or course at a time
  • Unsubscribing from unnecessary emails

The goal isn't total deprivation, but intentional selection. Replace mindless scrolling with activities that truly serve you—journaling, walking, or simply being present. Remember, constraints aren't restrictions; they're tools for clarity, better decision-making, and reclaiming your focus. By curating your inputs, you create space for what truly matters. 

Are you ready to be more intentional about your consumption?
